That tenth victory meant a lot to him, and certainly to the team so I\u2019m glad Singapore wasn\u2019t the 10th race in that succession of races.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He has shown great leadership, great maturity in the way that he handled it. Of course, everybody was disappointed last weekend, you get used to winning and it is a good reminder of how much it hurts to lose and if it doesn\u2019t hurt to lose, you\u2019re in the wrong business.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It was a good reminder of that.
