I am very honoured to join D’station Racing and Aston Martin this year. The World Endurance Championship is a childhood dream I
have been working towards for a very long time. To ﬁnally have the chance and to be a part of the WEC with a manufacturer who wrote
history within the championship is an unbelievable way to do it. I cannot wait to get to Qatar and hit the track with Marco and Clément
next month!
