And then, yeah, there was a few technical things, you know, a few tracks at the end of the year where I had to drive the car very differently, um, that I probably didn't get on top of as quickly as I should have.

Um,

probably some things as a team we'd do again in a slightly different way as well.

So, you know, there's little bits everywhere.

There wasn't one glaringly the obvious thing, but you put enough of those things together and sometimes it doesn't quite happen.

I think generally pretty good.

You know, definitely the few days after Abu Dhabi weren't the most enjoyable in my life.

But I think in some ways having such a big reset this year was...

a good thing because you know I think for me I kind of reflected on last year and you know firstly obviously again going back to the looking at things when you're winning versus losing you obviously look at the things that were painful and the mistakes and then reflected on the things that were good and the things I you know want to try and maintain for this year

And then once you do that, then the challenge of the regulations this year was so massive going into it that

for good or bad, you almost didn't have time to dwell on last season that much, which was perfect for me because I had the kind of two weeks in Australia to see my family, see my friends, reflect on 2025, and then get stuck into the challenge of this year.

Obviously, the first two races this year didn't go well in that I didn't start them, but

I think Japan was in some ways a more just reflection of where I feel like I'm at this season and the hard work we put in in the off season, the way I kind of switched my focus from last year into this new challenge this year.

I think that was a really helpful thing for me to be able to just focus all my energy on.

So, yeah, I've enjoyed in some ways having the new challenge.

In some ways it's been a bit of a headache.

But, yeah, for me I feel like I used my time efficiently to reflect on last year but then channeled that energy or any –

I would say it's more just letting it be there.

I think it's very hard to force things in general.

Yeah.
