00:00I'm really excited to get going into this season.
00:03Obviously, there's been so much hard work going into producing this car.
00:07The power unit's been in production for a number of years now,
00:12and obviously this car, everybody at Brackley's been working so hard
00:15over the last 12 to 14 months to prepare it,
00:19and just really excited to go racing now.
00:21I think you need to go in with an open mind
00:22because we've been driving a lot on the simulator,
00:25but until you drive the car properly at different circuits,
00:29understanding what the challenges are,
00:31understanding the new power unit with the overtake mode, the boost button.
00:36We obviously got an opportunity in Silverstone and Barcelona to drive the car,
00:40and the new power unit, I think for all of the teams, is just so fast,
00:45and when you use that boost button down the straight
00:46and you've got the full 350 kilowatts from the engine, the thing flies.
00:50So that's really, really cool, and with the active aerodynamics,
00:53it just looks, I don't know, it looks racy,
00:55and I like the look of the cars, a bit smaller, they feel lighter,
00:58they feel more nimble through the corners.
01:00So for us, it's more enjoyable to drive,
01:03and hopefully it's going to produce better racing for everyone to enjoy at home.
