WOULD YOU RATHER BE A FAMOUS SINGER OR A FAMOUS ACTOR?

WIN THE INDY 500 OR THE 24 HOURS OF LE MANS?
“Indy 500. I have watched it a lot because Takuma Sato, he is my racing hero.”
WIN FROM POLE OR LAST?
“Win from pole, of course. I’d prefer to be dominant.”
DRIVE ON A PERMANENT TRACK OR STREET CIRCUIT?
“I would say street track. I drove at Macau last year and I was really, really happy with it as a street circuit, and I was fast as well. I hope I can go back again this year, but I'm also looking forward to driving in Monaco.”
