And it was just queues of people just wanting the ability to touch it for a few seconds and have a photo with it.
And that's what meant the world to me.
There are individuals who have literally given up their life for Williams and for myself and for our journey.
And it's a tiny, tiny reward for them on the way back.
At the end of last year, you said often that you thought you had the best driver pairing in Formula One in 2025 and beyond in Alex and Carlos.
Having worked with Carlos now, do you stand by that comment?
Because you've worked with a lot of great drivers.
And has Carlos surprised you in any way?
I still stand by my comments.
I know it bores the world when I say it, but Williams is bigger than me, it's bigger than Carlos, and it's bigger than Alex.
But all three of us will give our all for Williams to be a successful entity again in the future.
That doesn't exist with quite a number of other drivers on the grid.
My goal in all of this, as is Alex, as is Carlos, is to leave our DNA, our fingerprint inside the team for it to be a championship material, which then allows them to go on and win championships.
But what I mean by that is our two drivers deserve to have an ego.
Frankly, they're performant and they're fast.
Neither one does.
It's an absolute pleasure working with them because there's something far bigger than the three of us, which is the organization.
As to what surprised me with Carlos, really good way of working with engineering teams.
Very clear, concise feedback that directs us
where we need to be.
