Goals for the season ahead:

What do you want to be doing five years from now?
Formula One

Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso – but also Michael Schumacher when I was growing up. I’m also a big fan of Valentino Rossi (in fact I used to have ‘The Doctor’ and ‘46’ all over my helmet and overalls when I was younger.
To relax I like to…
Spend time with my family, play Xbox with my little brother and watch movies.
If I wasn’t a racing driver I’d be…
I don't know. All I ever want to do in my life is to be a driver.
How can the Red Bull Junior Team programme help your career?
To guide me to achieve my ultimate goal which is becoming an F1 driver and most importantly, to give me the financial backing to be able to race and build my career towards F1. Without Red Bull Junior Programme, I certainly can NEVER do this!!
