It was exciting having that unknown hanging over my head, as I haven’t really had that before – I’ve always known where I’d be the next year. It was great going through the season knowing I had something I was fighting for. I think it’s safe to say that if I didn’t get a drive after last season, I would never get a drive…
The weirdest thing for me, and this is going to sound quite silly but it’s true, is going to be pulling on a white racing suit and sitting in a white racing car. I’ve been driving a blue car with a blue suit for the best part of a decade. I’m getting into that iconic BMW livery, the car that Winkelhock, Soper and Ravaglia raced, so it’s going to be pretty special.
All in all, I’m thinking about it on a year by year basis. I’m just going to go out and have fun. I absolutely loved this year, and usually by this point I’m ready for some time off, but I’m ready to go again. I loved the fight, especially when it got a bit spicy, and I loved saying what I thought – if people like it, great. If they don’t… great!
From now on, though, we look ahead to the 2020 season. We’re heading to MIRA for our first test today, but the programme really starts in earnest in February, where we can get stuck in and really start pushing on for the upcoming season.
I can’t wait, I’m ready to get stuck in!
