That was an eye opening interview ... He's only 19! Notice he said culture shock numerous times? I know first hand what that means ... And italians don't speak English? That will make everyday, simple life very rough over time ... Good thing his mechanics speak English... With his past history of concussions, that team could have easily have canned him ... Good to hear they stayed with him and did not cut him like a piece of salami and instead are giving him a chance to heal and make a comeback.. He sounded like he is gonna alright and put forth a big effort ... But, it sounds like he is about 1 crash away from retirement from racing if his head gets banged again ...
this team and race program is on a 5 year plan, thats a good plan for an all new machine based team and factory effort. Go Michael!! Go Lupino the Little wolf!! and go Cervellin!!
