So you pretty much have these permanent iterations about how you will go about it, about what people you want to take with you in the adventures.

Not to mention that I knew the team from 10 years before, you know, when I used to work there.

So when the adventure starts, which is pretty much when we did the interview two years ago, when the adventure started,

you are already in execution mode.

You know, you, you are there, you, you have this, this plan, you reconnect with the people and you try to, to execute the plan.

Starting with the record racing was the exact opposite of all that.

There was obviously no warning.

There was nothing like having the time to think about it or pick up your team or referring to what you knew of the team from prior experience.

So everything you knew about the team principal drum, pretty much you have to throw it in the bin.

And the only priority was let's try to meet as many people as I can.

Let's try to understand how this team is working.

Let's try to see how we can support.

And that's what happened the first few weeks.

And Montserrat trying to meet all the incredible people, opening all the doors of the campus in Milton Keynes and try to see all the magic, all the secrets that his team is known for in inventing these fast cars and meeting the people behind it.

So a completely different approach compared to what had been the debut in racing bulls.

But it's an incredible feeling because we are in a people business.

You meet incredible people.

Getting this opportunity makes you meet unbelievable people.

And you don't win as much as Oracle Red Bull Racing has won in the last two decades by luck.

You win because you have geniuses behind every door.
