i still and always will love this team. everyone was incredibly understanding within the team and hugely supportive. everyone knows that i'm here to deliver for them this year, so that's the focus, it's same as any other year.
it is emotional and every week will be emotional. because, you know, the seat fit, it's your last seat fit with the team and you remember the first one. the winter test is the last that i'll do with the team. so there's gonna be a lot of emotional experiences through the year but we'll do it together.
in January everything kinda turned upside down, in terms of when the option came. and a lot of time alone, trying to make sure you were doing your due diligence and you're making the right decision for yourself. i feel like i've made the right decision. i'm excited, really excited.
from my side, no hard feelings for anyone, this is how sports work. i would have done the same in his position. - carlos sainz
yeah, i second what carlos said, we have a really good relationship. i have a huge amount of respect for carlos. it's not a personal thing, it's what happens in the racing world - lewis hamilton
