  "Phoebe, your third race victory, second on the bounce. You're only eight points behind Feran now, how are you feeling?"

  "I wish I could say I was happy about it, Sam, I wish I could say it without, you know…"

  "You've been friends with Niki for a long time. Have you spoken to zir yet?"

  "No, I'm gonna try to call zir tomorrow. Ze won't want to be bothered too much tonight, I think."

  "Let's talk about the race quickly. Strategy played a huge part in your victory today, that's an area you've struggled with in the past. Who made the call to perch so early this afternoon?"

  "I did. It was my idea."

  "Well, it was a very good one. Was that using data the team had given you, or was it more of a racer's instinct?"

  "I don't really think of it like that, Sam, it was some of both."

  "Can you keep this form up in two weeks in Anatolia?"

  "I hope so."

  "Do you think you're ready to challenge for the championship lead?"

  "I already am challenging, Sam, what do you think I've been doing?"

  "Fair enough. Get some good rest, we'll see you in a couple of weeks."
