Driver profile

“It’s been a challenging weekend for us, but I feel like we have learned a lot. We’ve been testing a lot of things with the car to try and take the next step, but the nature of trying to move forward is that sometimes you end up taking a step back. But the positive thing is that we have a lot of information and data to take away from the event, and I think we can use that as we move forward.”
