We are analyzing what we did well and what went wrong. and now we have the last race of a very challenging hat-trick, so we want to come back to fight at Silverstone. It will be a special race and we will also have a new custom livery on the car. We want to come back stronger and we are ready for the weekend, especially because it is the 20th year of the team and for us it is a moment of celebration“.

It wasn’t an ideal weekend. We had made some good improvements from Saturday to Sunday, so it was frustrating not to be able to see them on track. We have been working to analyse things, to make sure we have the right pace at Silverstone, all weekend. In the 20th year of the team, the British GP will be a special race for all of us. We will have a special livery for this race and I want to make sure we honour it with a better result.“.
