"After winning the world title, my next challenge is defending it, and I am in a great position with complete trust in Ludo and the team to achieve more victories together."`
With technical harmony and proven race management, the champion enters the upcoming season fully prepared to fend off fierce challenges from the hungry grid of young talents.
