I'm sure he will be winning many more races in his career.

It was very nice work. Bounced to mid-pack by a bad pit stop, he worked his way to the front so smoothly and steadily that the announcers did not even notice him. The final move to take the lead, and retake it, was really beautiful driving.

Did you notice after his win how many cars went by him so that the drivers could give him a wave? Nice.
