It’s an extremely fast and technical circuit, and with the pace we’ve shown so far, the goal is to finish this first triple-header on a high. I’m really proud of how we’ve started the season. We’ve celebrated the results, but we’ve also taken the time to regroup as a team, analyze the data, and prepare ourselves as best as possible for the next challenge.
