A Formula 1 car at Macau.
Your greatest race?
When I got the podium with Sauber at Suzuka in 2012.
The worst car you’ve driven on the road and on track?
Up to now I have been happy with all cars I was driving.
What do you still want to achieve that you haven’t yet?
Win Le Mans.
The best advice you’ve been given?
I cannot remember any good advice to be honest!
What would you be if you weren’t a professional driver?
