| "It was the engine ECU. Never a problem before and there was nothing more we could do. It came from a supplier, so it's not a team problem, we have to trust that the parts we buy are okay. We have learned something though. The most important thing is that the car is good and I feel good in the driving. That's important for the future. We're here to attack at the Power Stage." | ||||||
