What Is He Doing in 2017?
Cars are the most important thing in winning a race and Fernando, who has won two world championship, is enjoying his car 2017 despite the problems in McLaren and disrupted testing.
I think they are two separate things. One is how you enjoy and how much adrenaline these cars are giving to you on the cornering speed. Comparing with the last couple of years, I think it’s a good step forward. Not only for us drivers but also for the spectators: for the people here in the grandstands and watching on television, they look spectacular, and that’s a positive thing.
Aso Fernando continued to share his joy of competitiveness and said,
“And then, yeah, naturally I think all sportsmen, we are competitive, and when you arrive to race like we are doing now in the first Grand Prix of the year, you know that joy is together if you are competitive. Let’s see how competitive we can be this year. At least when you are driving alone, you are enjoying. Then when you have a car close to you and they go much faster than you, that’s a little bit less enjoyable.”
