00:00Now I'm embarking on something brand new for me and something I didn't think would happen
00:28when I turn 40 and I'm still like pinching myself.
00:33Next week when I get to the race, I'm going to be starting a Grand Prix in red, like wow.
00:59I think it's a masterstroke, I think he's chosen the right time to go and he's got a spring in his step now.
01:06I think it was difficult for him the last season with Mercedes, it was starting to wear a bit,
01:12the lack of competitiveness I think was clearly showing but now he's got inspiration I think from going Ferrari.
01:18Obviously with Lewis there was quite a lot of attention around the team this winter break but it's great, it's normal.
01:26I mean he's a legend of the sport and joining the most iconic team of the sport so it's normal that it is that way.
01:33You've got to be excited to see how he's able to adapt his time with the team, new team and adapting with the new people.
01:42So it's quite a challenge.
01:44He's one of the greatest sports figures of this century because that's where he reigns.
02:00There's Ali of course, there's Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods but he will be at that level, at the top worldwide.
02:13It's still very surreal, I didn't know and didn't honestly think that I would ever get the chance to be here at Ferrari.
02:23So it's something I'm really thankful for and proud to be a part of.
