in which to   potentially overtake him and win the race.

I think the reference to the "Sunday morning briefings" (or words to

Granted, I may be really overthinking this, but why am I having

I was thinking of Jerez 1997 as I watched that. OK, MV overcooked the
corner way more than JV did, but I'm still of the opinion that JV

entirely different.
