(He reflects.) No, I don’t think so. We managed to get the most out of it, and then there was this philosophy, this way of making it sharper (his hand mimics the plunging single-seater the way Red Bull used to design its single-seaters). I loved it. Are you having more trouble today? (He smiles.) No... I don’t mind. I can adapt. But these 2021 cars, they went faster through the slow corners, they moved better. I was having more fun. When they say you can drive any car, what would you do behind the wheel of a Haas (last year’s runner-up)? (He smiles.) I don’t think I’d win a race. Not even a podium? Normally not (he reflects). Probably not. But I’d try to do a better job than anyone else, that’s for sure. After that, if the car’s slow, it’s slow. You seem to have become unbeatable since the advent of ground effect cars .Do these single-seaters require special driving techniques and do you adapt better to them? I don’t think so. If I’m successful, it’s because I’ve got a great team around me who have built these fabulous cars.
