There are still a lot of points up for grabs on different circuits, so è far from over” began the British team principal as quoted on “FormulaPassion”.

“Every team è different, our rules of engagement are very clear and the goal to be achieved until the end of the year è well defined. We have a driver who is fighting for the world championship. It’s a team sport, so è very clear that Checo&#39s job is to support Max until the end of the championship” added Christian Horner.

Now a new season starts, I know there are high expectations on me and I want to be ready to be solid and continuous” added the’former Anadolu Efes.

Then there was a drop and we lost the match. We are a team under construction, we knew that with Milan it would be very difficult, but we still played our best until the end showing good things” commented Ante Zizic.
