Yeah I only watched it on and off but as soon as he went quite quickly from 1s up to 2s down and losing a tenth or two each lap I was pretty sure it wasn’t going to happen. Fair play though, you need

was a nasty crash, one guys wheel slipped on a wet patch, guy behind somehow went up the track straight across a third guy who went down hard just in front of Cav. Was fast and big drop down the boards for Cav.
