D’Ambrosio: “A very special day”

That's it, this moment Belgium has been waiting for has finally arrived. Sunday, in Melbourne, Jérôme d?Ambrosio will, for the first time in his career, take part in a Grand Prix of Formula 1, where he will defend the colors of Marussia Virgin Racing. The young RACB pilot is pawing with impatience a few days before this big event.

“Now here we are, He says. I'm seriously starting to get impatient thinking about this first race in Melbourne. It's a bit strange, because I've been driving for the team since last September for free practice, and I've taken part in five practice sessions since then, but I'm still looking forward to my debut in the discipline. It's been a busy schedule so far, but I'm really looking forward to it. Sunday is going to be a very special day for me. »

And even if the MVR-02 was very discreet during winter testing, that does not stop Jérôme d?Ambrosio from being optimistic. The Belgian will have a lot to discover this weekend, both the running of a Grand Prix and the Albert Park circuit, but he claims to have prepared accordingly.

“I benefited from the best preparation I could imagine, including a lot of driving during the pre-season tests, continues the resident of the Gravity Sport Management sector. I also spent a lot of time on the simulator to prepare for the race at Albert Park. Since the last tests in Barcelona, ​​I have worked to consolidate my physical form. I'm ready to start running. I've never been to Melbourne before, but I've heard great things about it, so I'm looking forward to seeing it for myself. »
