China was my first time going there last season, so there was that, but

it was a real struggle.

And then this year to get my first pole and win the race there, that was, you know, we went into that weekend expecting things to be tough again and expecting there to be a lot of learning to do.

So to then have my first pole, first win of the season at a track that was very tough last year,

That, for me, was already a really good sign that things are working a bit differently this year and in a good way.

I think Spain is probably a good example.

I think Bahrain is probably the weekend that I rate as my best for the year.

But I think Spain is a very good one for a similar reason.

It was a struggle last season.

We kind of found some things...

outside of my control let's say that went a bit wrong last year in spain but i think this year was again a tough race of tire management of of pace of uh you know all kinds of things that last year you know there was some things that went wrong but there was also some things that went wrong that were in my control

So to then have that weekend we had this year there was phenomenal.

And I think that was a really good confidence boost.

But to be able to do that at more than one track this year has been the real kind of confidence boost.

He's in the wall, he's out of the race.

Oscar Piastri into the barriers and his Grand Prix ends on the opening lap.

What an absolute nightmare for Piastri.

Baku.

You had such a brilliant weekend there last year, one of the best wins of your Formula One career.

This year didn't go so well.
