01:00It's still very, very surreal, just never, never didn't know and didn't honestly think
01:18that I would ever get the chance to be here at Ferrari.
01:20So it's something I'm really, really thankful for and proud to be a part of.
01:26And then this car, it's going to be my car and Marlon Childs' car, but I've driven the
01:32old car, a couple of the older cars that were built for other drivers, but this one's been
01:37built for me and Childs.
01:39So it's really, just that alone is really, really cool.
01:56We announced that I'll be joining at the beginning of 2024, so I had a long, long year and lots
02:06of questions, lots of thoughts, lots of trying to imagine what it's going to be like when
02:10I do eventually get to Ferrari, what the factory would be like, what the people would be like,
02:16what the welcome would be like, so many things.
02:19And I don't approach anything with an expectation, but it's definitely, I tried to imagine it
02:25and it's that and so much more.
02:29The sheer magnitude and size of the team, the passion when you actually get in to the
02:34team and feel it, it's something real and almost quantifiable.
02:41I remember when I moved from McLaren to Mercedes, that was a big leap, but it was still the
02:48Mercedes engine, so it was, you know, there were some similarities.
02:54But coming here to Italy, everything is just so different.
03:01And the tools in which we use, the language element, but everyone's been amazing to work
03:08with so far and clearly very, everyone's very, very hungry, super driven.
03:14It's kind of seamless working with Childs, it's not been, there's been no dramas.
03:20Obviously, I knew that I was coming here, but also before it was even announced, Childs
03:26and I would always chat over the race weekends.
03:30And I think there's always been a common, a mutual respect between us two.
03:44Okay, I'm going to try something.
03:48Sono felice di iniziare questa nuova avventura con voi in Ferrari.
04:02Sono molto emozionato.
04:08That's about it.
04:09I'm like learning bit by bit.
04:13I agree with what Enzo Ferrari used to say.
04:16At the end of the day, in our sport, we always try and analyse what can be done better.
04:22And for this new car, we've done everything in order to do a step forward.
04:26And it's definitely a step forward.
04:28So yes, however, it still remains to be seen whether it's the best or the rest, which is
04:33eventually what counts in Formula One.
04:36It's a relative sport and we want to be the best.
04:39Having come just short of the Constructors' title last year, yeah, there's only one goal
04:45for me and this is to be, to obviously win the Constructors' Championship with Ferrari.
04:52That would be incredible.
04:55And win the Drivers' Championship as well, which is a dream I have since child and that
05:02I would love to achieve one day.
05:03So yeah, winning the two titles are the goals this year.
05:09We get on extremely well together.
05:11We've already spent quite a bit of time together in Maranello.
05:17I think the word surprise is not the right word because whenever the most successful
05:24driver in F1 history comes to the team, you expect, I expected already Lewis to do a lot
05:30of things outstandingly well that will justify all his success that he's had in his career.
05:37And obviously there are lots of things for me to learn from him.
05:41So it's a very interesting moment because it's obviously the first times I get to see
05:47how he works behind the scene and it's very, very interesting for me.
05:51So I'm trying to learn as much as possible and I cannot wait to be racing alongside him
05:58very soon for Ferrari and hopefully we'll win the title together.
