“That rounds off our on-track running for 2025. We did a lot of laps today with the 2026 Pirelli tyres which is definitely important to do and gives us plenty of things to look at over the winter. It has been a long year for all of us. Some highs, probably too many lows, but that is how it goes and I know we will come back stronger in 2026. I know everyone is ready for a rest, me included, but we have a few more weeks of hard work before the break and everyone at the factory is putting in huge amounts of effort ahead of next season. Thanks to everyone at the team for their incredible dedication and effort, especially at these busy past few weeks.”

“What an amazing experience for me. Firstly, thanks to the team for the opportunity and for all their effort in helping me prepare and executing a really solid day. Everyone at the team has been super to work with, so professional and I have learned a lot today. I felt comfortable and I could just focus everything on completing the run plans, lap by lap. The car ran well, it is just so well engineered and nice to drive, so physically it felt good, but maybe I will have some fatigue in the coming days. It was really cool to have Pierre next to me; he is probably the best driver coach to have so thanks to him too. I think today will take a while to sink in and I am just really grateful to have had this chance.”

“Today was our final on-track running of 2025 at the Abu Dhabi post-season test. Kush has had a smooth day in the car, for his first time in a full test session with the team in an official capacity. He worked very hard with the engineers in preparation and has given us some very good feedback from his running, so well done to him for his enthusiasm and professionalism. Pierre has been in the mule car with 2026 Pirelli tyres. This is useful work for both Pirelli and for us as we have our full focus on next year. We have a lot of useful data for our preparation over the winter which will help us when we start back on-track in just over a month's time in the new car. Preparations are well underway for the 2026 car back at the factory and we have a busy couple of weeks until the winter break to make good headway for next season. Well done to the entire team for their dedication in recent weeks across the two different projects."
