Nice run today, Michael — P5 with sector 2 as a genuine strength, you led the whole field there. That's real speed, not luck.
Your opportunity is sector 3: it's the gap between the 40.02 you ran and the 38.74s you're actually capable of, and closing it starts by just matching your own best sector 3 times more consistently. Also worth a look — your pace faded 1.05s across the race, so check in on tire wear or focus in those late laps next time out. Take sector 2 as your confidence builder, and let sector 3 be next race's project.
