“There was a period that accelerated accelerated regulations (due to the ‘sacred leave’), with the concept we work in the previous few months and there are some difficult deadlines for the meeting.

“The (first) test (from 2026) is at the end of January so the car is ready for that point requires some earlier decision points and clear that everything is new, but there is zero.

“We still discover some cars and some of the weaknesses. I would say that the first four giants are great, the corners of the low speed were probably our weakest part of the trail,” told the Spanish.

“But there are some concerns as bouncing and other things that turn around time. We work hard to improve these.”
