The time is simply flying by and, to be honest, even if there were 36 hours in the day it would not be long enough. After a short break over the winter, Carlos and Daniil have put a lot of effort into their physical training, even curtailing their holiday time. They have both been in Faenza to sort out their seats, as well as having meetings with their engineers to go through everything that is new for this season. Of course, they also took the opportunity to take a closer look at their 2017 rocket, the STR12.

It’s a case of full steam ahead when it comes to work on the new car and just a couple of days ago, you might have heard a preview of the sound of the new engine. What will the new car be like? You will have to keep wondering until the day before winter testing, when Carlos and Daniil will pull the covers off the STR12 in the pit lane at the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit on Sunday 26th February at 16h30 (CET).

To be honest, Daniil almost managed to give the game away regarding the new car, but luckily we managed to stop him just in time! We definitely don’t want to ruin the surprise…
