Reflecting on the amicable separation between the two parties after the 2024 season, Binotto"I am getting on very well with Valtteri, and since I started here in August, it has been a great relationship, building it, trusting each other and I think we set up really good communications between us.
"It is a long journey, and that's mainly where we reflected a lot and where I came to the conclusion that maybe we need to have a young driver with us.
