“Miami will be very different. We didn’t have an easy weekend in Baku, with our DRS problems and we weren’t fast in any session. Despite this, we remained one second from the podium. They (Ferrari) had a perfect Grand Prix.” finished So he emphasized how positive it was for him to stay less than a second off the podium in a weekend that was not the best for Aston Martin.
