“I guess I 🅷would never want to say that I have no belief, and I never hav♛e said it and probably won't. 

“But definitely since the last few changes, there ⛎have been a lot of good things coming from that, both in terms of mood, atmosphere, but at the same time also performance and th🤡ings to look forward to in the future. 

“So not everything is purely direct in Formula 1. A lot of things take time. So I guess you have that part of it tღoo. But definitely things have taken a step forward.

“I ꩲcan easily confirm that and say it with confidence. But until we see it, that’s the timely part.”&n🍬bsp;
