Elliott acknowledges that it has been a “good” season for him but admits that it’s not where he wants to be. He values the weeks where he feels competitive and has a shot at winning, contrasting them with the frustrating weekends where he feels irrelevant.
While Elliott appreciates consistency, he recognizes the importance of winning in the current playoff format, emphasizing the need for Playoff points. He praises his team for their ability to salvage decent results on challenging days and their perseverance to keep pushing forward.
Despite his solid pace, Elliott acknowledges that he needs to improve his winning potential as he has led significantly fewer laps compared to his teammates. Looking ahead, he aims to continue striving for victories and maximizing his team’s performance for the remainder of the season.
