"You have to be kidding me," Jack Doohan said, wondering if he was dreaming as a result of what he was seeing in his rearview mirrors.
Thinking he was hallucinating, he turned back to look ahead, focusing on his driving but pushing the car slightly more than he had grown accustomed to. The instruction he had been given was to slowly increase his pace the more confident he got in the car, which is what he had been doing since yesterday. He'd had more than the initially planned time due to Fatih's crash, a direct consequence of him pushing the car too far before he could understand it.
As a result of that crash, both Jack and Dennis had chosen to take a more conservative approach by increasing their vigilance and reducing the speed at which they increased their pace. But even with that, he could say with confidence that he was already pushing to the maximum he could with his current experience, which had allowed him to clock the fastest lap ever set in the entire practice session.
