That’s when it all starts with a blank sheet of paper, with a new generation of race cars. And if there is going to be a significant change in the balance of power, then definitely in step into this new era.”Let us further note that the contracts Lewis Hamilton, Valtteria Bottas in George Russell completed at the end of 2021.
