Boy, Mike sure was beating himself up about that light in the post race interview.
If I were there, I'd tell him "The best in the business have done it, including your boss. Don't be so hard on yourself and move on."
I have to admit that in my last round of Street Eliminator last year I had the classic "DOH!! What was my left foot thinking???" red light. Not nearly as much at stake of course, but man, it did stick in my craw for a while. So I can kind of relate to what he must have felt like.
