I'm really looking forward to working with Stephane as we pushed each other to a high level in 2016 and we got on together as well which is a unique situation for a championship fight. In regards to 2017. I think that working together will allow us to exploit our full potential for a new season in a new car. I'm hoping that we will be able to fight for the championship but Supercup is a totally new experience for the both of us.’ '
