The season Last year he took part in pre-season testing, two free practice sessions and post-season testing in the VF-22 and surprisingly, unlike many drivers on the grid, he said that this car suited his aggressive style, which is music to her .my ears when tracking time is limited. He is an asset to our team, so I hope to see him continue with us this season”, added the head of the team about his reserve driver, who is always on the lookout in case one of the two official drivers cannot compete in a race.

Last year, I did two free practices, I tried at the beginning of the year and at the end of the season, so we have already tried some things for the new season. I’m excited to see the new cars and the new developments, and I hope we can make even bigger strides with the VF-23″, declared the Brazilian driver.
