We imagine you happy to be back on the grid…

I'm very happy. This is something I had on my mind all the time last year. Coming back was an obsession. It wasn't an easy situation, but luckily the work paid off and I'm here today, back. I can't wait for the season to start.

This year without F1, how difficult was it to live with?

It wasn't easy, clearly. When I learned that F1 was over for me, that I would not be on the grid in 2021, I considered that there were two ways to deal with it. Either be sad and dwell on it, or make sure you work as hard as you can.
