00:23We know that it's a pretty expensive sport,
00:28but thanks to God we have a great work group,
00:31we are always touching the doors of all companies,
00:35private and public,
00:36and at this moment we are working with investors,
00:40touching doors in Colombia, Mexico and the United States
00:45to be able to follow the dream of Formula 1
00:48and alternate with this new GT3 project.
00:57I think one advantage that I have is that I am a pretty calm person
01:01and I know to find those difficult points
01:07and more than all, to work with all the projects that I have.
01:13I could say that this year is a year
01:16in which I have become happy and calm as a pilot
01:21because this opportunity that Mercedes-AMG gave me to be doing
01:25the Special Touring Card Trophy,
01:28it gave me the opportunity to do a complete season,
01:31to be leading the championship.
01:32The last two years were difficult
01:34because I never had the opportunity to do a complete season,
01:38I had to jump in the races
01:40and I always felt that desire to be able to be
01:43again to be able to be in the circuit,
01:45and to be running.
01:50In this moment I only need to finish my training process,
01:55in this case it would be the Formula 2,
01:57that would be the last before Formula 1,
01:59and the season would be around 2 million euros
02:04with a team who can fight the championship,
02:06and to be able to win the test.
02:08Basically, depending on how I get the tests and everything,
02:11I usually get the teams to help me,
02:15sometimes they give me better prices,
02:17but at this level you are competing with people
02:20who have the budget,
02:22who are very good people,
02:24and we are working on that focus,
02:27to be able to get that money
02:29to be able to do Formula 2.
02:31We are playing with investors in the United States
02:33and we are looking for that opportunity to go to Formula 1.
02:36The Formula 1 in this moment is making a big change
02:39to give the opportunity more to young people.
02:45It is a sport where only 20 people reach out in the world,
02:49they are the best players that have,
02:52and I hope they have the opportunity to be together with them.
02:55I have played with the 50% of the race in this moment in Formula 1,
03:00Max Verstappen, Daniel Ricciardo, Stoffel Van Dorn,
03:04Esteban Ocon,
03:06I know a lot of people like Checo Perez,
03:10I know a Kimi, a Vettel,
03:11and I know that I have the potential to be there,
03:15and I hope I have the opportunity.
03:16What is the most important sport?
03:21Well, no, it is a sport that, if you see it,
03:24there are very few opportunities and very few seats,
03:27so, yes, not only the talent is worth it,
03:31which is important, yes,
03:33but also when you are in a sport of these,
03:35you can do the talent you can do yourself,
03:40you can do the training,
03:42you can do the preparation,
03:43because there are pilots who do not have the opportunity
03:45to train the same as others.
03:47I had the opportunity to be with a Russian pilot
03:50who had 40 days of test in the year,
03:52so, when you have 40 days in a circuit,
03:55driving the same car that you are going to run,
03:57then, in some way, you take the feeling,
04:01you understand how to manage it,
04:02you start to take the speed,
04:05so, there are a lot of things,
04:07but I think in my case,
04:10I prefer to have the qualities of doing it very well
04:13before the money,
04:14because I am one of those who think
04:17there is much more than just the money.
04:27.
