🔵. Racing at Zandvoort this weekend was intense from start to finish. I gave everything at the start, almost lost the car in turn two with all the sand, but managed to stay in the fight. Starting on the softer tyres helped me early on, and after Lando retired, I crossed the line in second place. Still, it was clear we didn’t have the speed compared to the McLarens and even our sister team. In the fast corners I had to lift while others went flat out, which showed exactly where we’re lacking. The hard tyres felt awful in practice, so I committed to running softs and mediums, which gave me a bit more grip and kept me in contention.

Even though the race wasn’t perfect, the experience of standing on the podium at home made it unforgettable. The crowd at Zandvoort was unbelievable—the sea of orange, the cheers, the energy, it truly gave me goosebumps. Sharing that moment with the fans was very special. I also want to congratulate Isack Hadjar on scoring his first-ever F1 podium as a rookie. That’s a huge milestone and he did a great job. Moments like these, with the highs and the challenges, are what make racing so meaningful to me.
