00:00We are full of ambition. We have a long championship in front of us, but it's bringing new motivation and positive energy to everybody.
00:11I don't have to be confident or not, I have to push, I have to do the job, I have to improve step by step and we are on this path and we'll see at the end where we are.
00:20Ferrari is right at the top ready to go, they just need a little bit extra. Lewis will give them that. So they are ready to take off. I think Lewis will pip it. I hope so.
00:32Do you know what, he's got so much going for him at the moment, he's got so much talent, he just needs a bit more motivation. I think going to Ferrari, Ferrari is going to embrace it.
00:40It's very exciting. It's 12 years that we had together, the longest driver, a team pairing. It's so lovely to see him here also because he's a friend.
00:51I think it's a master stroke, I think he's chosen the right time to go and he's got a spring in his step now. I think it was difficult for him the last season with Mercedes, it was starting to wear him a bit.
01:03The lack of competitiveness I think was clearly showing but now he's got inspiration I think from going to Ferrari.
01:09Lewis with the Ferrari, going to be excited to see how he's able to adapt his time with the team, new team and adapting with the new people.
01:20So it's quite a challenge. It depends a lot on the driver, the human personality, what they feel, what they're going through with their life.
01:31Sometimes the driver is good to change and go to another team, that way they get extra boost, extra motivation for performance.
01:40I think that's what Lewis is feeling, so I think it's great for the sport in general.
