After a difficult start to the year, you are here and everyone will agree with me that you had a magnificent race. Tell us…
Jack Miller : " Thanks dude. I have to be honest, I just tried to do what I could. I had done a lot of laps by myself throughout the weekend. I knew I had a rhythm to stay with Fabio or pass him if he faltered.
I went down to 37 for a few laps with him but I couldn't maintain that pace. And neither does he. I didn't expect him to come back into my range, he did.
I knew I had a gap behind me so I concentrated on overtaking Fabio because of course I saw that he was struggling. I overtook him and kept my head down trying not to make any mistakes, and pushing for those last seven or eight laps which were the longest I've had in my career. It's just indescribable what I feel now, it's just a torrent of emotions. Joy, sadness, everything!
I wish my parents were here to celebrate with me but they are back home.
I just want to thank everyone for their support, I will try to do it again. »
