But rightly so, Isaac is trying to stick to his feeling of the car right now, because that's what he should be doing with the relatively limited experience he has.

Whilst Max, after all these years and all this success, is very often trying to go to the next step in helping us linking what he feels with what he thinks may be the reason for it.

It's probably early days.

Again, back to the qualifying chat.

It's early days because the cars, certainly our car, is so far, and when I say car, I say chassis plus power unit.

It's so far from the ideas we have had in the past years of the perfect car,

ideal lap, we are so far right now that it's too early to say, I want that from the car, that from the car, because we are very, very far from ideal.

So ask me the questions again in other races.

I'm pretty sure they are still talking.

Maybe not at 7 a.m., but maybe a bit later in the day.

Helmut has remained very open and available to us.

I am, they are.

I'm sure we are all having chats with him.

and getting guidance for him, even though you don't see him turning up at the racetrack.

I think back to your earlier point, the level of pressure you put on yourself is the one dictating how you feel about things.

It's very rarely coming from outside circumstances or persons.

So I don't think they are putting less pressure on themselves now because as racing drivers, you will never be happy until you are at the right level.

But, you know, you can't turn the page of Helmut that has been building this young driver program for two decades with incredible success.

You don't turn that page quickly.

So we are living on his legacy right now.
