Sir's words on his next team, Ferrari
"Not being in the fight for the championship is not something we like, but we knew it would be difficult. I am grateful for the results we have achieved, for example in Silverstone, but I am not looking at the fight between Ferrari and McLaren, even though I am very interested in what my future holds. And I am very impressed by Ferrari's progress."
"At the beginning of the year, if you look at China, the Red Bulls had a one-second advantage per lap. It was incredible to see McLaren and then Ferrari recover, I'm very encouraged by their progress at the Scuderia. I'm keeping an eye on everyone's cars."
"It's been a turbulent year, the car sometimes takes steps backwards in terms of performance and aerodynamics. I hope to be able to repeat what we did in Mexico, there is definitely potential and I hope to be able to exploit it to the maximum on a track that has a renewed asphalt"
