« This is an important step towards my dream of becoming a Formula 1 driver, rejoiced Qing Hua. This will be my second outing in the car after the young driver test at Silverstone, and I'm very excited at the prospect of driving at a circuit like Monza. The objective of this session will be to continue to progress on my program, accumulate more kilometers, experience behind the wheel of a Formula 1 and help the team. I'm excited but also calm about it because I've been training hard over the last few months to be ready when the opportunity presents itself. I also worked on the simulator to discover the circuit and the behavior of a Formula 1 car. In recent months, I spent a lot of time with the team at the Grands Prix and I learned a lot from the engineers and my teammates who shared their information and experience, which will be very useful »
