“The other teams, especially the Nordic ones, may have more ice-driving experience, but we will try to make up for that with our motivation and resilience over the days of the event. Either way, I so very much look forward to meeting all the other drivers and spending time with them during the Race of Champions weekend.
The snow and ice promise to make this ROC event extremely special, and I am more than sure the drivers will have a crazy good time together in Sweden,” said the Haas F1 driver.
