“It’s a bit weird- I guess if you’re not into socializing, It’s probably really good!” he stated. “You have to enjoy the circus that is Formula 1 because it’s such a big part of your life, so that bit of banter you can have, the interaction, crossing paths, and that, we don’t have any of that at the moment.
“In a way, it feels like school was for me, get there, do what you’ve gotta do, and get out when the bell rings!”
