We have had the chance to closely follow Stefano’s career for the last few years, and especially in 2013. What we saw was a very fast and determined driver, who knows how to fight on track and take race wins. We are very pleased that he is joining us for the 2014 season and I am convinced he will be a title contender this year. Stefano is a very pleasant and hardworking driver, I am sure he will fit in well with the team. With Stefano and Lello we have a driver pairing one can only dream of and we are all really looking forward to the start of the season.
