Sergio knows what our plans are and what we’re trying to do for the future. And for him to say ‘I want to be here for three years’ is a big deal. In years past it was always year by year by year. So that’s an indicator.

I think it’s great. He knows us as well, he knows the team, he knows what we’re trying to do and on a Sunday he’s a great driver.

He did a great job in Spa, very calculated overtaking manoeuvres, doesn’t take too many risks. In all the years I’ve been working with him he’s got a very cool head, knows what he’s doing. I think he’s only lost it once which was in Singapore when he went into one of the Williams, Sirotkin. But apart from that cool head, very good on a Sunday, great overtaking, defends well.
