He covers some serious ground from the spark that got him into the sport, to who he's looking forward to seeing come through the ranks in the next few years.

There's also a chance to get his views on Lando Norris' chances of catching Mx Verstappen, some Drive To Survive behind-the-scenes secrets and the impact social media has had on him since he started working in the paddock.
