I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.

It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.
