“Winning the second title was different, every year there is a different situation, the important thing is to find solutions to the difficulties and we did it again this year, I am very proud of my team and of all the people who they work for me. We did an incredible job to win this title which at a certain point seemed like it was going away due to difficulties that we didn't publicize too much. I couldn't ask for more, winning the race and the Championship was fantastic. I never doubted, I knew 100% that we would be very strong and this helped me a lot."
