So we want to make sure that we don't say, well, you know what, 26 is, was the transitions between chapter A and chapter B, and therefore, no, no, no, no.

We are not at all in that mode.

We are in full attack mode, as we said, not happy about the starting point.

But if you walk in Milton Keynes right now, there is fire in every single department.

There is a burning fire of wanting to go back as fast as possible to a more competitive car, to a better position.

And, you know, we finished the pre-season testing thinking we were forced teams, even though you guys didn't believe us.

It hurts.

We don't want to stay there.

And that's what you feel in Mitton Kins today is that burning drive to get enough understanding and development to the car in a way that we can outperform the development of the competition and get back up.

So it doesn't look like a transition here.

Look, we think it's 360.

So we don't think there is one area or another that is to be focused on.

This, as such, is already an incredible achievement.

The fact that the power unit is not identified as being a specific weakness, but more simply an area like every other area to be improved in order to be at the level of the benchmark, which is Mercedes today, is already such an incredible achievement.

The fact that this power unit was

not existing three or four years ago.

The factory was not existing.

We had no people, and now we are 700 people there.

We have this incredible partnership with Ford.

And we turned up at the first race, and it felt very normal.
