For the less bilingual among you, let’s sum up these few words from the Swiss-French pilot.
“I understand that all children dream of Formula 1. But if it’s to be at the back of the grid every weekend, I think I’m better off here. (…) It’s the freedom to drive as you want, there is no need to constantly look at the characteristics, push mode, load mode, tire temperature etc. (…) You enter the car, leave the pits and push yourself. You have to be thoroughly every turn and know how to play with your injection. But overall it comes down to pushing, pushing, pushing, coming back to the pits, changing tires and starting over. (…) The fact that we can enjoy every round, and that we can be competitive with any team, adds spice. On top of that, the atmosphere in the paddock mixed with the support of the fans makes for an incredible package and makes me love it. ”
