“It’s obviously been my most successful year as well with some podiums, the 1-2 for us as a team in Monza, my first pole position in Formula 1. So I think I’ve achieved a lot.”

“I think I’ve also done well for the team, and been there for the team when we’ve had those chances to be on the podium and score the points, and bring that fight to Ferrari for as long as possible,” he explained.
“Although they’ve creeped a little bit too far ahead, possibly. But I think from my side, and even for us as a team, it has been a very good year, and we should be happy with what we’ve done.”
