"Sergio has a lot of experience behind the wheel of cars formula 1 and can reach the finish line by caressing, ideally speaking, the tires", stated the Team Principal of the Austrian team. “He's a fighter and we hope his skills bring balance within the team. I hope to see a situation similar to the one faced in the period of cohabitation between Max Verstappen e Daniel Ricciardo".

"Hopefully Sergio has the opportunity to sit in a good car,” he continued. “It's up to us to make it available to him. It was an unusual gift to have a driver like “Czech" on the market. The situation did not force us to act quickly. We were able to carefully evaluate the best choice for our team. In the end, evaluating everything, we considered the couple Sergio Max was the right one for us."
