The McLaren driver’s future has been in the spotlight with all the drama involving Oscar Piastri’s contract situation at Alpine. The 33-year-old admits that like every good thing, this will come to an end as well.
However, he wants to enjoy every minute on the grid and keep learning. He also mentioned he’d be interested in growing the DR3 wine in the future if the opportunity persists.
“I give it a bit of thought, but for now if I’m having fun and and enjoying the opportunity and learning from it. I’ll continue to do it and if it grows into something that I can continue after F1, awesome.”
