Was still very close to Cook for the most part in reality. Due to incidents and things opening up, Cook managed to get up a bit in R2 for a reverse grid pole, but then got mugged too easily. Cook, in that car, at Silverstone should have had an easy lights-to-flag win if it was working anywhere near like it should be.
I would love to see Plato have another season in that car. A season in a "peak" BTC Honda would have been a perfect send-off, so it seems a real shame to only get it in what is really an "experimental" season for Hybrid, and with a lousy engine that doesn't suit the car. Particularly seeing as Plato has always been more vocal than anyone in the past about the shortcomings of the TOCA engine.
Also a shame for Cook, as given the Hybrid ups and downs of other cars, if he had the BTC Honda firing on all cylinders (not literally), on paper I'd have said this should have been his year to win his first title.
