Ayao Komatsu

You know, 2016, it was nothing like now.

So he came in that more, let's say, I wouldn't say difficult time, but more challenging time.

And then he went through that COVID period of 2020 and 2021.

came through that stuck with us and then now he's enjoying it more he's enjoying some success he's just more fun element is there as well as being competitive and he understands formula much more than before and he's absolutely committed yes

Yes.

So our foundation is Ferrari, right?

The way we set up from day one, we couldn't have done it with Ferrari.

We don't exist without Ferrari.

So we have our power supplied by Ferrari, gearbox and suspension supplied by Ferrari.

So Ferrari is our foundation.

And then we also have an amazing technical partner in a company called Dallara.

So we work together on the chassis side.

We now do lots of designs, but at Dallara still does brilliant job in manufacturing.

We work all very closely together.

So those are, let's say our foundations, technical partners.

But if you look at the areas that Ferrari

doesn't touch or cannot touch because of regulation or the areas that is not Dallara's expertise there are still plenty of areas that we are just doing it on our own and we really I thought it would be really beneficial to have a strong technical partner to help us move forward in those areas that either Ferrari or Dallara is not working with us so that's where Toyota comes in

So I actually have an amazing partnership with these three great technical companies.

See, again, that's one clear, clear advantage because we always wanted a TPC team because not just running the TPC car, but actually educate people, grow people.

and then giving opportunity to younger drivers that again we couldn't do it by ourselves but thanks to our collaboration with Toyota we could do that so that's huge and also the simulator we use a simulator in Maranello but that's logistically it's quite challenging
