"I spent a lot of time in the factory getting prepared in the simulator in order to get used to the car.

"[There was] a lot of media attention, but I wasn’t really nervous, just happy that I was finally driving for a top team

"In the end we managed to pull it off. It was an incredible feeling once I passed the finish line, especially in your first race with a new team."
