“In past contracts I had a lot of respect for them and Honda has always had the first option. I haven’t spoken to anyone, only Honda. And if you respect them, they won. If you don’t respect them, they won, I don’t respect you.”
“So we’ll see what happens in the future. You never know. Honda is Honda. My dream is to stay with Honda. But my biggest dream is to win the championship”
