In consequence, the 2 groups had been capable of win all however one race all season.

We did not have a superb engine however as soon as we had that sorted out, we labored on the automobile and when you carry all that collectively, you’re lastly roughly there, however it took us a couple of years. Perhaps with these laws, it’s much less complicated however you’re nonetheless on the backfoot and it is advisable catch up. However whereas they tried to catch up, we’re additionally making an attempt to enhance, so that is what we have now to try to hold doing and hopefully present that once more [in 2023].”
