“The expectation this season is to win the drivers’ or the manufacturers’ title, or both, as last year we just missed out on them, so we have to have another go.

On a personal level, I’m sure that everything will go better this year, as last season I needed several races to adapt to the team, which was only to be expected. Now I know everyone: the engineers, mechanics and, of course, the car and the way the team works.”
