I love how it looked like it was trying to kill him for the first half of the first lap until the tyres warmed up a bit. Amazing how critical the engine braking was too - he was downshifting 1000rpm or so too high on the first lap and nearly spun a couple of times.

It's mindblowing to think people actually raced cars that were so difficult to drive.
