“Everything is delivering as expected.
“Maybe the step from last year to this♍𓆏 year is good enough or not? We’ll find out…

“We🔯 were not a big team, off-track, in terms of developing the car.
“We learned lessons last year.
“To be♕come a contender for the champ🎉ionship in the future, it was an important season.
“This year we start with a go🥂od base line, and with a lot of things in the pipeline for the rest of the season.
“It will be interesting to see if we can kee꧑p the pace of developing the car.
“𝔍We didn’t meet those expectations last year. We want💞 to improve in that regard.”
