“That’s the fact, that is all, but hopefull🦩y we can catch up to the McLarens and to the Ferraris and fight for P2. This is what it is this year and what is was last year and we had a P2 last year.”

“Lately, Toto has been really nice, saying a lot of nice things abꦑout me,” he said.✅ “No, I don't know. It's still a very long season. I don't want to think about the rest of the season too much. I really want to approach it race by race.

“I know there will be tracks comiꦺng u♈p that might not be so favourable for us, but then, of course, when we do get to tracks where we know that we can be quick, we have to really take advantage of it and score the maximum amount of points as a team, and that's what we'll continue to try and do.

“And then, of course, I think we know that we get to tracks where maybe it's a bit more difficult we✃ have to try and maximise that as well, where maybe other teams can win as well.”
