As a driver, it's a real honor to be the first woman to drive a Citroën single-seater, and I'm delighted that our test day was such a success. Opportunities like this, where I can demonstrate my abilities behind the wheel of such a sophisticated race car at such a crucial point in the season preparation, are invaluable. I'm extremely grateful to the team for their trust and support. »
