They welcomed me into their program when I was just 16 and allowed me to enter Formula 1 at seventeen and then gave me the chance to race with them and have a dream first race. They have always supported me. Their support, that of all the guys from those in the factory to those in the garage, regardless of the result on the track, has always been 100 percent. We even had some fun moments! I am very happy to further commit myself to Red Bull Racing and look forward to great successes in the future,” she commented shortly after the announcement.
