Although aggression and risk-taking is a big part of what makes the BTCC so great to watch, the fact is that consistency, prudence and caution is usually the more successful strategy.
I suspect there's also an element of him wanting to silence people who said it was just the Subaru that made him so fast.

We could see on Saturday in practice and qualifying that the car was quick, but Sutton was absolutely monstering it and at times overdriving - he went off through the gravel at Redgate 3 times.
In the races the difference in attitude and approach between him and most other drivers was pretty much night and day.
It'll be a fun season if he keeps on like that!
