With a smile, he closed the scene saying:  "See you in Imola, pa," thus confirming his participation in the upcoming Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix.

The driver shared his happiness on social media and sparked excitement among his followers.  "The wait was long! HAPPY! We're back," he wrote on his official X account (formerly Twitter), along with an image showing him ready for the big moment.
