“I have some projects and ideas together with F1. We'll see if they will turn 🌟out or not.
"So I am staying in tou🤪ch. I don't know. It has to be a couple more phone calls an💦d conversations, I guess, to really find out a little bit more.
“But for sure it's oneꦏ of the🌃 best seats on the grid.
"Performance wise, Mercedes has a great track record, struggling a little bit in the last years, but then struggle and you're still second ജand👍 third in the constructors' (championship), it's not like you're racing in no man's land."
