The former world champion is at last year Williams took on the role of senior adviser, but was forced to spend most of his time outside the garage due to cunning measures. In his situation, however, kovid’s actions were even more uncomfortable as he participates in Sky F1 to the commentary team, which, however, had to "Live" in its bubble. Therefore, outside the garages, we very rarely saw conversations between team members and drivers.

I admit, 2021 was not the easiest year. I just got permission for the catering space, the team catering space, and I can actually spend time there with the engineers and Jost. “
"It's a great team," he added. “They have a good team of people. And I will spend a lot more time with them, with the drivers, with the young drivers program. So they now have some good young drivers on the list. I will also spend some time with the guys in the simulator room. I don't drive, but I would! But, the most important thing is to see how they will tackle the races and how they work with the team. I can help them here because I have a lot of experience in this field. ”
