There comes a point when your head says, ‘You have four races left so take advantage, because the only things we have clear is what’s going on in the present, and the future we never know’.” Rabat said.
“I know absolutely nothing of 2021, but I have to take advantage of the present because it is the best solution – if there is one – for the future. It is not worth doing anything else. It’s like that. I have to give myself 100%, be focused and get in the way of the other drivers until the end.” Rabat added.
Rabat, currently is sit in 21st in the world championship, he has been dragging this situation out for several weeks. He does not doubt that he has so far.
