“I am super happy, it is a lot both at the pilot level and at the image level. For me, being part of A14 is a step forward in my sporting career and an opportunity that I have to seize with open arms”, added the Barcelonan, who runs with the Campos Racing team. The young driver highlighted the role he has played alonso in him as a teacher.
“I’m getting to know him little by little. My relationship has always been with Genis, and since he has such a good relationship with Fernando, little by little I’m getting to know him. He is my idol, I appreciate him a lot and any little advice he gives me…”he explained.
Marti He gave a concrete example: “He had a question about the braking of the 9-10 before Friday in Bahrain, which is where he overtook Hamilton, because I asked him about the wind directions and if the line varied a lot when you have a headwind, crosswind or tailwind. He answered my question and whether you want it or not, that from the next day you start to apply it and look for it.
“These are things that you learn over time. When you are younger, a year ago the wind took it very little into account and I was more of a reactive pilot than a preventive one. I reacted to the wind more than knowing what it was going to do to the car, and little by little you learn things. Now comes the point where before the runs I ask my engineer the direction of the wind”settled.
