“The rules are very, very different for 2021, the work we’ve had to do has been very wide-reaching, and we hope we have done enough to stay successful, but as ever at this time of year we are just full of the anxiety and excitement of waiting to find out whether all this investment that we have made into the new car will indeed pay off with a challenger that is capable of fighting from the front.”
