Bagnaia, Miller, Binder's post-race banter revealed: "I'd have wiped us out..."
Bagnaia: I had to drop the position. Do you see?
Binder: Was this on the first lap?
Bagnaia: For this, one position…
Miller chuckles
Binder: Don’t wave too much, boys.
Bagnaia: I lost the front.
Binder: Was this before the red flag…
Bagnaia: No, in the last stretch.
Miller: I don’t remember which lap it was, but he got to have five minutes to catch someone.
Binder: This explains it, dude. My pit board was +5, then catch up. Then +7, catch up!
Miller: I lost the front, went onto the green. This was brave, here, huh? I was like ‘okay, we’re gonna see here now!’
Binder: You were in the middle of the track. If I’d have sent it, I’d have wiped us out!
