The 27-year-old noted that he would do everything to get the best results for a championship. The Dutchman pointed out that sometimes he had to be on the line or over it and calculate the risk which not everyone was able to do while racing on the track.

No, never. With that race, not at all. I think I even won points there. Just like I said, I’ll do everything I can to get the best possible result out of myself, for a championship. Sometimes you’ll have to be on the line, over the line. You have to calculate that, and not everyone gets that or has that mentality.
