“If they had told me I was going for two podiums in first seven races I would have signed straight away, so I think we are happily surprised with car. We are trying to get best of everything we have,” he said. “If you work in good atmosphere, it gives you
extra power to work more. We have been working, we have been always there, always at front, always fighting for good positions, now we are trying to get extra bit to go for the win. If we keep working as well, doing and learning, then we can get it.”
Above and beyond, they are confidently looking forward to perform well in the British GP which is to be held at Silverstone Circuit on July 8 and it will be quite exciting to see how the season progresses for all the contenders.
