What is the worst thing you’ve ever heard over the radio?
Last year, racing in Formula 3, I heard “oh you have a five second penalty” and I think “oh, sh*t!”. I was driving really nervously after that.

Weird? [Looks puzzled] Some strange dream…no, nothing like that!
Where do you keep your trophies?
I don’t know to be honest! Honda or someone…there’s a few trophies in my house but not a lot, the others go to some sponsors or my grandparents’ house.
