Would You Rather with Laurens van Hoepen

Back for a second season of FIA Formula 3, Laurens van Hoepen is ready for the challenge in 2025, and that started with the ART Grand Prix driver taking on the Would You Rather Feature.

From choosing which historic race he would prefer to win, to whether he would prefer to do karaoke or a dance off, the Dutchman had some tough decisions to make.

WOULD YOU RATHER BE A FAMOUS SINGER OR FAMOUS ACTOR?

“Actor because I am really really bad at singing so I guess if I was a famous singer it would be because I was so bad at singing.”

WIN YOUR HOME RACE ONCE OR MONACO GRAND PRIX THREE TIMES?

“A tough one because both are insane to win. Zandvoort, winning that would be amazing, but Monaco is really special, so I can't choose with that one. I'd win both.”

WIN THE INDY 500 OR THE 24 HOURS OF LE MANS?

“24 Hours of Le Mans, definitely. That's so cool. I remember as a kid watching the 24 Hours of Le Mans, it's definitely iconic.”

WINS FROM POLE OR WIN FROM LAST ON THE GRID?

“Win from pole and fastest lap as well. You want to win everything.”

DRIVE ON A PERMANENT CIRCUIT OR A STREET TRACK?

“I always like the street tracks, but I think in the end, permanent circuit.”

KARAOKE OR DANCE OFF?

“Karaoke for sure, it's more fun. Even though I am a very bad singer it's more fun to do karaoke than a dance off.”

WOULD YOU RATHER BE FRONT AT FASHION WEEK OR AT THE OSCARS?

“Oscars because I feel like it's a really special evening.”

WOULD YOU RATHER WIN THE TITLE WITH NO WINS OR WIN MANY RACES BUT NOT WIN THE TITLE?

“I guess win the title. Winning the title means more than winning just a race.”

TOO HOT OR TOO COLD?

“Too hot. I hate being cold, I am always cold.”

BE AN ASTRONAUT OR A ROCKSTAR?

“An astronaut. I think it's cool, I feel like space is nice.”

FLY TO SPACE AND DISCOVER A NEW PLANET, OR GO IN A SUBMARINE AND DISCOVER A NEW UNDERWATER KINGDOM?

“A kingdom is cool to discover, but I would say fly to space and discover a new planet.”

EAT WITH A SPOON OR A FORK FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?

“Fork. A spoon is just annoying. I know I can't eat soup but I'll just have to live with it.”

COMMUNICATE TELEPATHIALLY OR KNOW EVERY SINGLE LANGUAGE ON THE PLANET?

“Know every single language on the planet. I think it would be very nice to know every single language. I already speak Dutch of course, English, my German is alright, it has its ups and downs, and my French is getting better.

“My team is joking that I speak full French and that I just don't want to let them know, but it's not fully perfect yet. My Italian used to be good, but I lost it since I stopped karting.”

DRIVE WITH WET TYRES IN THE DRY OR DRY TYRES IN THE WET?

“Well, I've driven with wet tyres in the dry at Silverstone last year, so maybe I am traumatised from that. So, I will go with the dry tyres in the wet, but that's scary as well.”

TRAIN FOR A 100-METRE SPRINT OR A MARATHON?

“I think a 100-metre Sprint. It's a cool event.”

BE CHRONICALLY UNDER-DRESSED OR OVERDRESSED?

“Always better to be overdressed, I think.”
