“It’s easy to say: ‘Yeah, I could do it.ꩵ’ But that is yet to be proven. Do I believe I could do it? Yes. But it’s a very competitive environment.💖”

“I’m very open-minded. I said💖 that in the beginning. I just se💝e what is out there.
“You ൲know, I speak with a lot of people, I still🎶 have a lot of friends. Obviously, I’m not involved operationally, but just people call me up and have a chat and things like this.
“But I’m in no hurry. I’m not going out to shop myself around. But if people ask, and then you look at it and say yes or no aওnd talk with them.”
The Italian also revealed that a number of team bosses reached ﷽out after hi🥀s departure from Haas.
