00:00Since I've been with Mercedes-Benz, since 2018, I've been learning massively, not only as a driver, but also as a person.
00:08For sure, there's many takeaways for next season, many things that I've been learning, and I'm still learning a lot.
00:17I'm taking a big seat. Obviously, I don't feel like I'm replacing him because he's been such a big figure, and he still is a big figure in the sport.
00:27Of course, it's an important seat, the one I'm taking, but I just see that I will take a Mercedes-Benz seat for next year, and I'm just going to enjoy the ride.
00:40I feel I'm very lucky to be with him. I would consider him like a second father for me.
00:47He's been always there in the difficult moments and, of course, in the great moments. He's such a great supporter, and I'm really happy because next year, of course, is going to be a big year for me.
