Yeah, very very cool, and very special to have my own Grandstand.""I'll be on the pit straight and you should be able to see me at the garage and Grandstand. So that'll be really cool, see you all in support, and there are some merch as well, some bonus goodies in there for you. But yeah, had to share that, and really excited to have my own Grandstand. So thanks to everyone behind the scenes who worked on this, and all logistics involved, and thanks for everyone's work in putting that together, and I can't wait to see you all there in March.
