What a great result, especially considering we were far from those guys all weekend. Reliability is something my team excels in, so a big thanks to them. George also did an incredible job today » savor the seven-time world champion.
« I can’t wait to be in Budapest. It will be challenging to keep up with Red Bull and Ferrari’s pace. We still have work to do, but I hope we can bring some updates quickly to make a breakthrough.
