“I think it will come down to both,” said Mick Schumacher.
“The team and I understood what comments I needed to make to work better and get the right response, and made the right changes to the setup.”
“In that sense, we are really thinking of our way. It will help us in many ways next year.”

“It’s important to enjoy work. Everyone is here because they love sports and have a passion for it.”
