“You never say never in Formula 1, but we feel like we are in a good moment for the team,” he summarised. “We don’t have that much of a huge points difference between Red Bull and [us], so everything is open still.
“We can finish third in the constructors’ championship, we can win it, we can finish second, everything is open. So we’ve got to stay focused on ourselves, just like we’ve done in the last two races because that worked out pretty well for us, so that is our target.
“We shouldn’t get influenced by the fact that things have gone well in the last two races, we just need to reset every weekend and go again. Hopefully that will bring us to similar race weekends as the last two.”
