The meaning of Porsche Motorsport for me started way before I ever signed a contract with them. I remember watching the cars on track as a kid, seeing the winning mentality and the aim of constant improvement, which is why I'm always trying to be the best on track. And that feeling definitely stuck with me until today. So for me, Porsche Motorsport means responsibility and achieving results while extracting every bit of performance, working with maximum precision, even if you are under big pressure in a competition, and all of this is done at the highest level of motorsport. Every single lap you are out on track, it's about focusing, getting the most out of yourself in the car while representing the brand as well as the legacy of Porsche Motorsport, and I am proud to be part of this Porsche Motorsport family.
