"I have done two seasons now with the least top speed of the whole grid and I must say it has made me stronger," he said. "[Compared to] the beginning of last year, I'm not the same driver at the races."
"I have learned how to manage many things in the race and I think my results lately prove it," he continued. "I'm able to extract that tiny bit more that maybe I was not expecting to extract."
