But if gap is one minute more or less, you can´t stop fighting. Wkat do you as a competitor know what happens to other crews/cars? You never give up fighting if there´s a chance for better positions, just because anything can happen.
Slowing down an then loose a podium with a couple of seconds bcs you didn´t fight. Nah. No competitor does that.
