But what is your plan next year? I heard maybe there will be some more action also happening in what you do for a living otherwise.
11:31
I plan to start my new feature firming sometime in November.
11:36

Now, the Nürburgring, tell me, how do you feel about it? What is your experience that you had over the past few days with testing and qualifying?
12:08
Of course, Nürburgring, a lot of history behind the circuit, right, including the Nordschleife.
12:12
And to be driving here, I was here last year.
12:15
I drove the GT4.
12:17
A wonderful circuit, very technical and loving it all the more because the week so far went very well for us, for all of us including me.
12:28

22:09
Look at Lamont, for example.
22:11
All this would not happen without the support of the local governance, of the local bodies, and primarily the people.
