The key to your statement though is if his lap times slowed down to match yours. If I was leading and was comfortable with my lead, already had a good spot in the main and that type of thing I would just sit behind you and run your pace to avoid any conflict but if I was barely on the bubble and it was the last qualifier before the mains.. as said above, a few corners and I'm going to force the issue because I need the faster laps during the last minute.
