Oscar, it's an old motor racing phrase that when a driver is absolutely flat out, on the limit, giving it everything he is said to be driving at ten-tenths. When he is near the limit, not quite flat-out he is at nine-tenths and when he's just cruising he's at six or seven-tenths. When he's over driving the car, like Senna on the last lap of qualifying, he's at eleven-tenths.
