New team in name and management but everything will remain the same inside the garage, and that’s a good thing. That’s how Raúl Fernández sees the year 2024, where he will have greater stability in his career as a pilot for the first time.
The pilot spoke about it at the team’s presentation to the fans: ‘We will keep the same team: the same mechanics and engineering chiefs, and that is a good thing. We will arrive with our suits to the garage and we will see the same faces, which is very good for us, because it is the second year with the same people and that is something positive, especially in my case because it is the first time in my career that I will have two years with the same people’.
About his new team, Fernández admits it is too early to have a formed opinion, but he assured that the enthusiasm shown by the project was contagious:
– Honestly, it was a big surprise for me when they were in Madrid, where we had a meeting at the end of last year. When I spoke with them, the sensations were very good and I was impressed with them. Their mentality is impressive and we took a big step forward in that aspect at the end of last year’s world championship. They are very professional, but honestly, I can’t say anything more now. Maybe in one or two races, I can have a true impression from them.
