However, it was snatched away from him when Binder produced another impressive charge to sixth, while Acosta faded to tenth with a braking issue. “I had no power in the brake. It was difficult to manage from lap one. The only thing was that in lap one I had grip in the rear, but when this grip went away there was no f**king way to go fast.
"It was a season with high and lows, some really good results, and some frustrating moments with mistakes made, but it was a very positive season in general,” he said.“I am happy to start another chapter, just next door though as I remain in the family, but I am leaving some people,” he said.
