Did you pass your driving test first time?

I didn't, I got 0 minors and 1 major! I was furious, so... I was told I was in the wrong lane at the roundabout and I when I finished my test I drove home with my parents, I was in the left lane to turn right which sounds dodgy, but it was painted on the ground that you could turn right in that lane. I went back and told her, she wasn't having it!

Who was your favourite racing driver growing up?

Schumacher, it was his golden era so Michael Schumacher.

Chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream is definitely my favourite pudding. I used to say pizza was my favourite meal, I quite like burgers these days, so burger.

If you could choose any driver past or present to be your team mate who would it be?

Probably Lewis Hamilton to be honest, I think he's one of the best so yeah, Lewis.

Which 4 F1 drivers past or present would you choose to go in a boyband with you?

Ha ha! Probably Danny Ric, I reckon he's got quire a decent voice and he'd be a good laugh. Probably James Hunt, I reckon they'll be pretty cool going around with him. Nikki Lauda as well, he has an amazing personality and um 4th one, I don't know... Nigel Mansell to mix it up, I can imagine he's a drummer or something.
