The others, it's a traveling circus, right?

So everyone else looks around and goes, oh, you've gone for a young driver.

We'll go for a young driver.

Before you know it, you have a section of the grid that are very, very young indeed.

They all shone last year.

All of the rookies had great moments.

Everyone had a great weekend where they were the standout.

And it's really good to have that generational shift as well because it makes the slightly older drivers, you know, sit up and prove their worth again.

It's definitely about the two.

The one thing that I always hear from team principals in modern times is adaptability.

And so if you think about adaptability, that's a lot of technique behind the wheel.

Being able to drive a car that's maybe not working as well.

Can you be adaptable?

If you can only drive one way...

That's going to be a problem.

But of course, mentality comes into that as well, because you have to work your way through a weekend.

If it's not started well and you throw all your toys out the pram, that's not going to work for the people that are traveling with the driver.

If the driver's throwing things about and doesn't have the mentality to improve the car...

No team is going to be interested in them.

And there's always someone who's nearly as quick around or trying to get into Formula One.
