“We signed an agreement that said we would sign him as a reserve driver and that we would take advantage of his training from the years of youth that helped him win the F3 and F2 titles And then we found him a normal driver for 23 and 24. And That’s what we did”.

“The fact is that he started the driving program in February, together with Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon. So with the Formula 1 drivers, it’s a serious program. We take it seriously. He is learning both from the Formula 1 drivers and from driving the car itself,” he continued.
He speaks fondly of Alonso, but without nostalgia. “But I can’t condemn him for that, if he had accepted a better offer, if there was one. Fernando is a great champion and a legend. He is a great professional, and from that point of view we are not angry. But Fernando’s chapter is closed”.
