“I feel very comfortable in this great team. I have officially been here for more than 18 months and I have always intended to build a long-term project with the team. Although the season has been difficult on the track so far, I remain faithful to the project”commented the main interested party, whose results have recently improved after a dark start to the season in 2024.

We will take our time to choose Pierre’s future teammate and we are excited about the options available to us,” added Bruno Famin.
