Here's what new boss Andy Cowell had to say: “We’re really lucky. We’ve got Lance and Fernando. Great experience and they’re on long term contracts. The key work for this team is to great a fast race car. We didn’t great that for them last year and they get a lot media pressure because of that.
“The pressure should come in our direction. We’ve got the job to create a fast race car and I am absolutely certain they will both deliver.”
