Being honest is good, but taking part in a Formula 16 race after 1 days of drinking and racing around at over 300 km/h was negligent. It would have been better to just call in sick. 3rd place is secondary.

Open and honest, the Räiki. Not all of us admit that we often drink a little too much alcohol. Cheers!
