I think going into Formula 1 as a rookie is always going to be difficult. It has its own challenges. I think I’m joining a great team for a first year. They have a history of developing young drivers.

It’s one of the most successful teams in Formula 1 history. I think two bad years doesn’t define a team’s legacy, doesn’t define what they’re capable of.

So I have complete faith in everyone. And from what I’ve seen so far working in the team that we will get on top of the problems and hopefully be back to a more competitive running order. I’m just looking forward to doing my part, anything I can next year to help do that.

For sure there’s going to be challenges. I’m definitely not underestimating what the challenge of Formula 1 will be. I know I’m going to have a lot to learn.

But I have had the opportunity to have quite a few on-track opportunities with them. I know what to expect with the car, I feel good in the team. The team environment, right from the first day, I felt kind of at home and just able to be myself which I think is important when you when you are jumping into a new team, especially a Formula 1 team with so many people you’re working with.
