Comment of the day

‘Kimi felt unwell on Sunday morning. Probably it was related to something that he was eating the day before. Yeah, it was a very difficult race not to feel 100% of your energy but he did pretty well. We’ve seen all the drivers very tired after the race. So another good step of learning for Kimi. And they’re going into Miami now.’
