"The atmosphere in the team has always been great, but it's just getting better and better. "The important thing is for all of us to enjoy this moment together and celebrate. "I did not swap teams that much in the past, so winning for a new team is always a relief. "Since I joined Ferrari I felt incredibly welcome and together we have worked to improve things.
