Secondly, I love the track. It’s one of the most famous in Formula One and known for its out-and-out speed, big braking zones and some amazing corner combinations. And, finally, of course, it is where I won my first Formula One race back in 2020. A memory which will for sure last a lifetime and something I reflect on regularly.
