“We’re not happy because we don’t have both cars in the points, and a point is always good,” reflected the Luxembourger, who This reflects the situation they are in now. They are in the stage of understanding improvements

and remain the fifth best team consistently.

They look at Spa with enthusiasm

But it’s not all bad news. Spa is coming, a completely different scheme, and they are very pleased to see that the updates have borne fruit. “With the new package we’re going to Spa, a completely different track, with a lot of straights, a lot of ups and downs, a lot of high-speed corners, and I think that plays much more into our favour and our strengths,” he admitted.

I think Spa plays much more in our favour and given our strengths.
