	“My target this season is to become a champion. I hope to grow a lot mentally and in technical skills. I will set up my own pace right from the opening and keep it throughout the season. I will aim at pole-to-win in the opening. I am racing in the national class, but I will keep improving my skills so that I can even match the A class and show impressive and stunning driving. I know there are a lot to learn, but I hope to master the things more quickly and earn more wins than anyone else to move up to a higher category next year. I will have a good conversation with my machine and fix whatever is wrong. I believe that will press me forward. So, I will try hard even in my private life without being satisfied at any time. I will do my best every day this year. I will make sure I will always be modest and remember my original intention, and keep my concentration. I hope to display a powerful and impressive pace. I look forward to your support!”
