When did you start racing? I started driving karts at the age of 6. I lived in a cul-de- sac and every day I used to take my kid kart out and drive it up and down the street and in and out of the cones my dad had set up. I did this until a local racetrack was opened in my town where I could actually race karts. I did not start competing in races until I was 13 years old. By the age of 16 I had won 2 national shifter karting championships in my country.

What advice do you have for aspiring race car drivers? To always stay focused and to never give up. Many days things may not go your way as some incidents may be unavoidable. Always keep pushing and learn from your mistakes. In addition, be willing to listen to what others have to say, good communication and networking are important. Also always surround yourself with a great team, friends and family. If you do these things I think you can achieve any goal in life. 

Do you have a pump-up playlist? Can you give us five songs that are on that list? Yes I do have a pump up playlist I listen to before every race to help me focus.
