"W🍷e've goꦉt to put the focus into the winter development, making sure we've understood all the lessons we can from this year's car and then turn that into the right things for next year.

"You have to sort of pick a𝓰 direction and go in it, and as you♏ learn, you can tweak that direction, move it slightly. And I'd like to think we've sort of got ourselves into the right place for the winter.

"I think there's still learning we can do, and ♚there's still P2 to fight for in the championship, so we'll keep developing. But obviously, our prime focus now is next year's car."
