The Argentine, with his 22 years, had to sit in the armchair with Fernando Alonso, who will meet 44, and with Nico Hülkenberg, 37. Between Spanish and German there are 652 races in the highest category.

“In Formula 1 we have a lot of support from our teams, our engineers, technology, data. So I don’t think it’s a bad place to work as a pilot and try to improve every day. It is true that we all want to win. And if you reach Formula 1, it is because in your past you had opportunities to win in Karting or in the lower categories. Then you have the opportunity to reach Formula 1, and then you arrive at Formula 1, and there is usually only one pilot that wins for a period of five or six years, because they are dominating. So this is the only thing you have to manage and control, that frustration, you have to continue delivering 100% knowing that you will not win. ”After his speech, Hülkenberg was speechless.
