So is it too early to talk about loftier ambitions?

For me to sit here and talk about the wins is too far away.

So our medium-term target in the next three to five years is basically trying to establish ourselves consistently at the front of the midfield pack.

Only when you get there, then we can look at, okay, what are we still lacking to challenge for podiums on the merit, to challenge for the race wins on the merit.

And if Oli Behrmann continues to impress, can Haas keep hold of him?

If we've done a great job with Oli, and then Oli performed so well that Ferrari really wants to take him the following year, we have to be happy that we've done our job.

What were you up to?

No, because we signed a new sponsor in Thailand, Singer Beer.

And so we went to Bangkok straight after Bahrain to announce the partnership.

And then they're a great company and they sponsor Muay Thai fighters, world champions.

And then I don't do Muay Thai properly, but I just like doing the training.

So I said to them, is there any chance I can train with one of your fighters?

And then they kindly put me with a Superbomb, who is an absolute legend.

So what a privilege to train with them.

So Muay Thai is kickboxing?

It's Thai kickboxing but I think kickboxing kickboxing I think if you say to Muay Thai guys it's kickboxing they get offended because Muay Thai has that cringing I think kickboxing is just punches and kicks but now it's great Jim had a great vibe I mean he's been doing Muay Thai since the age of six

And he's 36 now, world champion.

And he's got great team, really humble guy.

Amazing.

It's always nice to get to know somebody who's at the top of their game.
