Did you get some comfort from that?

It's like, yes, because this can happen.

Would have been more difficult if I was the only one.

But at the same time, looking back at the way it happened, I think it was nothing I could have done really.

What doesn't break you makes you stronger?

Yeah, it does.

You feel stronger after that experience?

In junior categories, when you have really low moments, I think it feels harder than Formula 1 because you're aiming for F1 at that time, and you know every setback you have is actually pulling you back from that target.

Whereas you make mistakes in Formula 1, as long as you know you're a solid driver, you know you're good, you can stay around.

It's not the same pressure.

Honestly, I remember going into the car for qualifying in Formula 2, I had so much more

I was more anxious than ever.

Whereas Formula 1, I have stress, but it's the good one.

It's the one like, okay, I'm going to fight.

Whereas in F2, it's just so much things out of your control.

I think it's much harder to handle.

So when you're used to that at such a young age, you go into Formula 1 quite ready.

Let's end this just by throwing it forwards.

Where are your hopes?

It seems such a sort of flippant question, but what are your goals for the rest of the year?
