I am really thankful to them for putting their trust into me and I will do my best to repay them with the best possible results on track.”
Thijmen Schutte: “This is my first season with an F1 Esports team and I’m really looking forward to the challenge against the very best sim racers in the world. It’s an honour to join a team with such a rich history in the competition and I can’t wait to get started.”
