While we wait, want to learn a bit more about Lewis Hamilton? Here’s our recent interview with the F1 champ, in which we learn a bit more about Lewis as a person. Watch below:
We also recently sat down with Red Bull racing driver Sergio Perez, to take a look at the new season as well as look back on his career, with revealing insights into what makes him tick.
Read a sample of our conversation with F1 star Checo below:
How do you feel that you’ve changed as a driver and as a person over the years?
I think I’m more mature. Things that I used to worry about, dealing with time, and realizing there is only so much you can control in your personal life, and in in the sport itself. You want to use energy and things that you can influence, and the things that you can use. You just learn to keep things away from you.
If you career ended tomorrow, would you be satisfied with what you’ve accomplished, or are there still goals you’ve set for yourself that you would be disappointed not to achieve?
I have a lot of goals to achieve in sport. I want to be a world champion. That’s what I what I came here for. But if things were to finish tomorrow, I will also be very satisfied, because this is a very difficult sport. You are against the best drivers. I think you can go home satisfied as long as you gave everything with all the opportunities that you’ve had. But if things finish tomorrow, I can leave and move on to the next chapter of my life very happily.
What are the things you’re most proud of? Is it the wins? Or is it something else?
With the career I’ve had throughout the years, 12 years in the sport, it speaks for itself.
