It would be great to have another Brazilian in the grid,
I know how difficult it is for us coming from Brazil to do all
the career paths and to get the chance to be in Formula 1,
it's an expensive sport, coming from Brazil, support is needed,
and having two of us now, I hope it brings back
that feeling in the Brazilians to start racing in go-karts.
I need to keep going, keep pushing and it's not over yet,
so first we'll try to finish the job properly and then we can enjoy
the rest, but for sure it will be an incredible achievement,
but still, there's still a bit to go.
You've won so many world titles,
do you have any advice for Kimi at this moment?
Slow down.
I remember I was racing with him in China,
for example, last year.
So, no, a big step down for us, a big step up for him.
So, yeah.
Yeah, stress, happiness, proudness.
You know, there is a goal in life, you know, from any karting driver,
which is becoming a Formula One driver
and one day winning the world championship.
And, you know, Kimi is very close
to achieve that goal at a very early age.
So, definitely, it's a wonderful feeling.
We know how good George is, and he's been doing so well against him,
so now he's even surprised me, impressed me, so it's great.
It's been really great to see his performances this year.
He's massively impressive, and he deserves to be the champion.
Going around town, I just ended up saying I'm a NASCAR driver,
because no one really had a clue about what F1 was about back
then, or very few people.
and now I mean it's amazing you see all
these people with merch all these events
around Formula One or on the race teams sponsors
and it attracts like half a half
a million people over the weekend
so it's yeah amazing even to be part of
this isn't a car that you can win
a championship with so I still believe a
wins you know possible this year we just need
a car that is quicker now if you
want to just have a win
but into next year we need a car that's a lot more
drivable, easier to drive
because you cannot win a championship with how
difficult the car is to drive at the minute.
