“It’s been 12 years. It’s not only the longest driver-team relationship the sport has ever seen but one of the longest relationships any sports team has had with a player. And one of the longest relationships personally with a person.
“Obviously that creates attachment, trust and those values in this day and age are rare. That’s why it’s a period of time we will hold close to our hearts.
“And one of the best periods that I have personally had, and the team,” the Austrian concluded.
