The organization and professionalism of an official team are something unbelievable and despite the high objectives for the season there is no pressure on me thanks also to a strong team spirit that keeps all of us focused on developing the car. Here is where the huge experience of Roberto Ravaglia plays a crucial role but I also found in Biagi and Gabellini two great team-mates that helped me since the beginning with their precious advices. Just two weeks are left now to the season opener: we are happy with the performance shown during winter tests and the fastest time in Vallelunga but we are aware we will have to wait until Monza to see the real values on the field". | |
