Liked the rear cam, just enough to show what's going on, without taking away from the forward view. Very nice! Great driving in tricky conditions Bert!

Oil on so much of the track you did a great job to keep going in the right direction let alone get p2!
That fire looked crazy 😮 glad everyone was okay!

Excellent defence to tough it out for 2nd place. Watched this with my son Barnaby who is really getting into his racing. He loved sitting in your teammates car 👍

I was posted to MP5.0 on the entry to Hamilton on the Sunday. You guys are rapid! I was in awe of the speeds you were getting and being on the barrier was quite the experience. Those F1000's are a serious bit of kit!

Well done, my man! That was a great race and a great video, Bert.

I love watching your videos, you clearly have talent and skill in spades and a top step finish can't be to far ahead. I like how you point out your own mistakes, knowing when you get it wrong is the best and fastest way to improve but I think you're racing you mirrors to much worrying about the guy behind is taking away some of your concentration which leads to little mistakes that cost you time.

Last time I didn’t even notice that you’re inserting the rear view through the mirror. It looks really good, it’s awesome to watch.
Otherwise the race was great – it had everything, including fire, and the shout-out to the buddy was super🖕🏻😅 Second place is awesome, I’m already looking forward to Silverstone.

Those race recordings really entertain me :)
