English term or phrase: which kept both Ferraris honest
Parte de un artículo sobre Lewis Hamilton. "Ferrari dominated from the front but did not pull away as they did in Bahrain. Hamilton maintained a three-second-or-so gap to Felipe Massa in second, which kept both Ferraris honest." De momento, se va a traducir así: "Hamilton mantuvo en unos tres segundos la distancia respecto a Massa, que fue segundo, lo que mantuvo atentos a ambos Ferrari". ¿Alguna otra sugerencia?
