I regret and suffer those losses, but it's God's will. He will pardon me if I committed excesses, but I don't think I did. ↗

After hurting myself like that, I could not go back immediately to racing. I was in no condition, mentally or physically. That helped me to strengthen myself to go through the hard times that were ahead with my business, and to be successful. ↗
