What is your favorite food and drink? Pasta and plain water (laughs)
What do you know how to cook best? Pasta.
What's on your MP3 player and what are you listening to right now? Not much at the moment. I mostly listen to old songs, so I'm not very up to date with music.
What's the last movie you saw? Ayrton Senna biography.
What would you like to have as a first car? (Laughs) Of course I wouldn't mind having a Ferrari, but with my means, I don't know at the moment. I'm thinking about it.
What job would you like to do if you had to stop your career in motorsport? Motorsport engineer.
If you could relive an important event in motorsport history. Which would you choose? The battle between Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost at Suzuka for example.

The media on karting are few but very popular among insiders (kartcom, kartmag). Are you interested in what they can say about you in their articles? Yes, it's always important to have a good image even if what is said is not always true.
Who are the drivers with whom you preferred to fight in karting? Max Verstappen, Ben Hanley and all the great KZ drivers because it's exceptional to fight with people like them who have a lot of experience.
After all these years have you made any real friends in the paddock? In karting, finally, in motorsport, I think it's always very difficult to make very good friends, but I have friends, since I get on well with everyone. My only real friends in karts are Ben Barnicoat and Valentin Moineault.
A new career starts for you next year with single-seaters. Are you rather impatient or a little nervous? For now I'm just happy. Not nervous? Not nervous.
Do you have time to follow the Formula 1 season this year, and who do you think will be world champion? No, I haven't had time to follow everything, but I think Sebastian Vettel will be World Champion since everything is in order for him.
