After 2 successful seasons under the RB colors, it was clear in my mind that I would renew my contract with the french engine manufacturer. I’m glad to follow up our evolution and keep up with our great results for the 2 upcoming years. During the first months, I was really impressed by the motivation and devotion of the team. We achieve awesome results together, either on the track or personally. Today, I think that RB represents what we can do best in technical support and product evolution, looking at all the titles RB got recently. Evolution and professionalism, motivation and dynamism, boosted by a pleasant and closely knit team, I can only be confident for our future together…
