 « It's very difficult to overtake at the Hungaroring. Honestly, I made one of the best overtakes of my life there in 2013, outside T4 on Felipe Massa. I had a drive-through for that one because I had all 4 wheels out. It didn't really matter to me since it's one of the nicest overtakes I've ever done and because it's in a place where no one expects you to overtake. »
