The car looked great

I felt they were very unfair to it in the race.... it was obviously a better car than the 11
On appearances I thought the 11 would get away from it easily but it was very impressive

I think the Spyder looked the biz. Much nicer than the 11. And by the look of how hard Tiff was trying to keep the thing in line, the Spyder is a lot less involving !
