00:00It was quite early that there was this possibility and this discussion with Lewis and everything was very transparent.
00:27I was the first one to say how much it was a motivation for me and a challenge.
00:57How he motivates the team, inspires the team. I've been privileged to sit there and watch how this champ does it and what has made him so successful over all these years.
01:08You can't win that many world championships and not be recognised as an all-time great.
01:27Some people get off at the wrong time. They carry on and want to hold on to it until they lose what people think. They forget some of the other stuff that happened before.
01:41It was a surprise. But as I said before, we went open eyes into this phase of our relationship.
02:00It's obviously been emotional. It's very surreal to be here. I came here in 2013, so 11 years with the team, starting in my 12th. It is such a privilege to work with a group of people where you see the work they're doing over winter.
