As part of a press conference where kids played the role of journalists, Daniel shared his goals and aspirations for the season, talked to the Grid Kids about the importance of teamwork and quality fuel and design.

This led to a discussion about the science behind Mobil fuels and lubricants and their role in Formula 1 racing.
