Moreover, he feels that the strategies haven’t been the best either as he said, “Or a road-race event from the strategy side of it to being able to pit the car like we want to, to having the exact balance. Hopefully, we get there, but I still think we have some work to do.”

Now all his fans can do is hope that the driver gets a perfect setup for the weekend.
