“Integrity has always been an important factor in my time with Triple eight, but in this stage of my career, I think it is the best decision for my future.

“It’s rare that anyone works with the same people for 10 years, leaving 20 alone, so to be able to look back with the same racing team and the way we shared all the memories are very special.

“They are the most part of my career today to be part of the team for their formal years and through them to become a powerhouse.

“And during that we have shared amazing success and huge milestones in our career together – I can only say ‘thanks’ to all those who have been part of the journey, as well as inside the team.”
