Jules and I were racing flat out. He knows that I'm going for the Championship, so there was more pressure on me, but the racing was hard and close. We had a little touch at the Adelaide Hairpin, and I felt him moving over just a little, to take the racing line. It was just a kiss. I had the 50 kg, so I couldn't brake quite as late as him.<BR> <BR> "A few laps earlier, he missed a gear coming out of the Hairpin, and I nearly rammed him. He sensibly kept going straight, because he didn't know which way I would go round him. There were about two feet between us. Laurence wouldn't have liked contact there......"<BR> <BR> So, great racing between the Listers at Magny Cours. Unfortunately, the photograph is a Monza one - of Tom Coronel.</FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
