Q & A with Giorgio Mondini

Giorgio Mondini: "To be driving the world championship winning car is an extraordinary opportunity. My first aim was to enjoy the experience, without making any mistakes. It is not easy to understand how a car like this works in the space of a few hours, but it was really enjoyable."

Q. What impressed you the most?

GM: "When I got into the car, to think to myself that I was in such a prestigious position was a strange feeling. At the wheel, the braking power and the downforce in the quick corners are what really take your breath away."

Q. How do you evaluate the progress you made?

GM: "I understood something more each time we put on a new set of tyres. There are lots of things that don't come naturally when you drive the car for the first time, like the traction control. You think you are on the limit, but the electronic systems let you go even further. You need to have the confidence to do it, and that only comes with experience."
