“It is the first GP that is new for everyone and not just for the rookies. I think it will be a race where we will have to continue working like the last few weekends, giving 100%. We’ll have to see how the weekend goes, but I’m very happy with how things are going. We have found the way and now it is time to fine-tune those details to continue improving.”
