really the car for which they have been working all in Brixworth and
Brackley. It has been a busy winter for me since I signed for Mercedes. I have
tried to exploit to the maximum the time that we have had. I’ve spent a lot
time in Brackley, living so many things as has been possible with the
engineers”.

although the learning curve is still large and I’m receiving information
useful every day. It is in our hands to make the most of the time

more hard until now. I have done some good workouts, I feel in the
best way I’ve ever been and this is ready for the next season. It is a
feeling very exciting for me, has been a massive effort, but this only
it is the first step and here is where it really starts to work“.
