Quote at the launch:"'I know that people were expecting the new car to look different, but what matters is the result on the stopwatch. It does look similar to last year’s car, which if I remember correctly was quite good and won both championships! Now we must wait and see how the winter testing goes, when we will have a better indication of its potential.. The next season is always your toughest, but I am as motivated as ever, for the simple reason that I love to race."
