“Our principal focus over the last few months has been to carry forward our development plan from last season, and Valencia next week will be another important step in the process to inform our work over the rest of the winter.
“It’ll be really quite exciting in Valencia to see how the progress we’ve made in the simulator and off-track translates to performance on it, and what avenues we need to explore next to go even further.
“I’m looking forward to the year, and I’m feeling very optimistic about the season ahead, and the potential that Mahindra Racing has. It’ll be a privilege to undertake their simulator and development work again, and to enjoy some races trackside with the team.”
