“I didn’t have any tattoos but I🍷 thought this was a good one.

“In this phase of m𒆙y life, something is﷽ about to finish. There is something new coming.

“🐈What’s next? That is💮 what people should ask themselves, and find the answer.

“For what’✃s next, I am in no rush to get into anything.

“I need to look at all the opportunities 𒁃for what’s best for me, looking some years ahead to have different paths from 2026 onwards, whether that is for Formula 1 or something else.

“But now looking back? If that’s it, I can be proud꧃.

“I always gave it aܫll that I had. That’s the main thing. No regrets.

“Life is not all about driving in circles in a rac🍰e car. There needs to be other things.

“It doesn’t mean that I don’t take this sport seriously, because I definitely do. It is my passion. I give♏ everything for it.

“But at the sam🌜e time wไhen I’m off, I have some fun…”
