This set of rules is here with us for five years, so it's not about the first race or two, it's about the next five years.
Again, extremely confident we have the right people, we have the right tools, we have the right processes, we have the right partners, so I'm very confident, extremely confident for our future.
Yeah, so for us, Barcelona was mostly shakedown, so it's testing a lot of new systems.
Everybody's talked about the fact that it's a new chassis, so a new set of regulations, new tires, new power units.
But for us, for Cadillac, we're building everything for the first time, the fuel system, just all the pieces on the car.
And so a lot of it was just reliability-focused.
As we go into Bahrain this week, we're very excited to now start to push the limits of the car and to see what we have planned.
Well, I think some of their feedback's similar to the other drivers.
There's a lot less load under the set of regulations on this car, which just means there's less downforce.
The car's gonna feel a little slippier to drive.
And it's going to be a whole new technique as they figure out how to use this power unit with the electrification piece and the combustion piece combined.
So again, it's a very different car to drive this year.
And so everybody's in a big learning curve right now.
So it's really leaning into a new fan base.
So if you think about the success that Drive to Survive has had, or F1 the movie, which just crushed every record, it's created a lot of F1 curious fans in the US.
And that was really the thought behind the Super Bowl commercial.
It's a big stage.
And we wanted to get to people that don't maybe consume F1 every day.
If I want to speak to the diehard motorsport fan, it's very easy to.
That media ecosystem is very developed.
