00:00It doesn't really matter what is being talked about. We just focus on ourselves.
00:06Every year you learn what you want to improve on your car and that's what we'll try to do for this year.
00:12How would you characterise the state of your relationship with him?
00:16It's fine. We're good.
00:21Honestly, we just hope to be competitive as a team.
00:25If we are competitive as a team, then I'm sure that we can win it again.
00:30Because I think we're a very strong team. We're very experienced.
00:33And I think we showed that also last year.
00:35In moments when it was a bit tougher for us, we were still maximising our results.
00:40And that's, I think, a big strength of the team.
00:44Let's see. It's exciting. I don't know where we're at at the moment.
00:47I think no one knows that.
00:50In a few weeks we'll know.
00:53We haven't really spent a lot of time in terms of actually talking about the car.
00:59We've seen each other at the photoshoots.
01:03But I'm sure it's going to be fine.
01:05I've seen, of course, also Liam grow throughout the junior team.
01:09And he definitely deserves the shot at the team.
01:12So I'm just very excited to get to work.
01:15Just work together with the team. Try to improve the car.
01:18And have a great season together.
01:22Yeah, it's been good.
01:24It's obviously a big opportunity for me.
01:27One that I'm very excited for.
01:29It's the first time I've had a proper pre-season.
01:34So it's been quite strange, to be honest, to have so much time.
01:37It feels like, honestly, now I'm just ready to go racing.
01:42So, yeah, it's just exciting.
01:45To work with this team has been something that I've done for quite a few years as a reserve.
01:50It doesn't exactly feel new.
01:52Because the relationships are all there.
01:54But just to know that, obviously, I'll be racing.
01:57It's very, very exciting.
02:02Yeah, I prefer not to speak about that.
02:04It might get me in trouble.
02:05So it's better not to answer that.
02:09I've just come from that meeting.
02:12Basically, the discussion was, obviously, Monaco.
02:15You can't change the layout of the circuit.
02:17And, of course, as we've seen previously, particularly with these cars as big as they are now,
02:23the race is very much dictated by the Saturday.
02:26And what we saw last year was, if you get a red flag early on and everybody just puts another tyre on,
02:31then it's very static.
02:33So stating that you have to use potentially all three compounds brings in another element.
02:39So it becomes a two-stop race.
02:42And should it rain as well, there would also be a mandatory two-stop.
02:46So it's unique to that race.
02:49And it's really due to the nature of the circuit.
02:55Better for you?
02:56Is it more comfortable?
02:57Or no?
02:58Do you feel that Red Bull will be the champion?
03:02It's better where, obviously, Sergio left in the winter.
03:06Yeah, I mean, we haven't really...
03:13I mean, it would be nice.
03:14It would be nice, but it's impossible to answer right now, right?
03:16I mean, I have to answer in my car.
03:20Yeah, Luke.
03:24Luke Smith from the Athletic Outlook.
03:25Liam, just a question for you about your winter and how you're fitting into the team.
03:30We have separate rooms.
03:31Yes, we have separate rooms.
03:32Come with us.
03:35And then we'll move you guys.
03:38Yeah.
03:43OK, and then we'll do these for ten minutes, yeah?
03:45We've got to keep it quick.
03:47What time do we go?
03:50You get the new plane?
03:51Yeah.
03:52So we have two flights.
