Our experts' guide on how you can become a better racing driver
A lot of young racing drivers emulate the approach used in Formula 1, which they probably should because that's the pinnacle. But you need to get the right balance. If I was in Formula 1 I'm sure I'd have to be a lot different - I haven't had a personal sponsor in four years and I can write on Twitter what I want because I'm not bringing any company down into disrepute with me!
It may be old school, maybe just even normal school, but I don't think it's particularly different. It's just not what we maybe expect to see in motorsport. I don't think too much about what I write and put on social media but I try and make sure there's a purpose to it and it's not just boring drivel - 'this is my office for the day', the amount of times you see that shit is very, very boring.
