I am eager to work alongside such an accomplished team and to contribute to our collective success. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who has supported me throughout my career, and to my team for providing me with this opportunity. I am looking forward to representing such an amazing team on track and achieving great results together.”
Keith Donegan – Team Principal:
“It’s great to have Santiago with us onboard for 2023. We were very impressed with his performance in pre-season testing, so I think there is a lot of talent and potential there. I think Santiago can be a real contender this season. We are excited to get going in Imola in April.”
