Keep reading to find out more… On biggest racing movie pet peeves and his own F1 film: “Racing movies I feel like it’s very hard to capture them…you can’t have a truck following, filming us at 20 mph, it’s all kind of faked at a slower speed and they speed it up.

But this is all real time, real speed. I think if you go back to Steve McQueen for example, back then they would have men lying on the front of a car with a camera…but now we have all this amazing new technology so I feel like Joe (director), honestly, he’s gonna blow people away.” On “hunter vs hunted” mentality: “I think it’s easier to hunt…But I got to a point where I learned how to maintain the chase – so what I used to do is I just used to picture me further up ahead and so I was just chasing myself.

So that seemed to keep me on the straight and narrow.” On race track attire in streetwear/drivers’ sense of style: “I remember when I was younger particularly like race suits, the old race suits were really cool from back in the late ’80s but obviously it’s got more and more technical so as it got more and more technical, it got less and less cool.
