“My first year with the team taught me so much and we were able to make a lot of progress with every race.

“I know that taking this experience and confidence into 2024 is going to be massively valuable for us, and I truly feel like part of the family here.

“I can’t wait to hit the ground running this winter and see what we can do for next season.”
