I am happy to be at the start of the 2017 Blancpain GT Endurance. It’s undoubtedly the most fascinating motorsport championship at the moment, both for the high level of the drivers and for the prestigious car manufacturers involved.
After the last year experience at the 24 hours of Spa, I literally fell in love with endurance races and I would like to thank McLaren GT for giving me this chance in the endurance series.
The opening race in Monza, my home town, will give me more motivations to start the season on a high, I can’t wait!
