Would you Rather with Martinius Stenshorne
The latest member of the F3 grid to tackle the Would you Rather challenge is Hitech TGR’s Martinius Stenshorne.
The Norwegian gets out of his comfort zone with some singing but feels right at home in the cold. Here’s how the McLaren Development Driver got on.
WOULD YOU RATHER BE A SINGER OR AN ACTOR?
“None of them to be honest! I don’t really like that kind of stuff, but I’d go with singer I guess.”
WIN YOUR HOME RACE ONCE OR THE MONACO GRAND PRIX MULTIPLE TIMES?
“Monaco Grand Prix. There’s no home race for me, but even if there was, I think Monaco. We don’t really have any tracks, and I don’t think there would be any unless it was a street race in Oslo.”
WIN THE INDY 500 OR THE 24 HOURS OF LE MANS?
“I think 24 Hours of Le Mans. I prefer sports cars to ovals.”

WIN FROM POLE OR WIN FROM LAST?
“Win from last on the grid. You’ve done an insane race if it happens and it’s more fun to start last than start first. I would take that every race, but it’s more fun from the back of the grid.”
PERMANENT CIRCUIT OR STREET TRACK?
“I think permanent circuit. I quite like Monaco, but… actually I’ll say street circuit. I’ve done Monaco and Macau, and they’re both fun.”
KARAOKE OR DANCE OFF?
“Karaoke. I’d never do either of them but if I have to pick, I’d go with karaoke. But I’m not doing it!”
FRONT ROW AT FASHION WEEK OR THE OSCARS?
“Oscars. I prefer movies to fashion. I like TV series mostly, Prison Break, Breaking Bad, that kind of thing.”
WIN MULTIPLE RACES A SEASON BUT MISS THE TITLE OR GO WINLESS BUT WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP?
“Win the title. That’s the most important thing.”
TOO HOT OR TOO COLD?
“Too cold. I’m used to it and you can do something to get warm whereas if you’re too hot, you’re stuck like that.”
BE AN ASTRONAUT OR A ROCKSTAR?
“Astronaut.”
FLY TO SPACE AND DISCOVER A NEW PLANET OR DISCOVER AN UNDERWATER CITY?
“Go in a submarine and find the city. Space is ok I guess, I have an orange suit already, but I’ll stay on Earth.”
EAT WITH A FORK OR SPOON FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?
“Fork. I always eat with a fork anyway, so it’s business as usual. I’ll tip the bowl for soup.”
READ MINDS OR KNOW EVERY LANGUAGE IN THE WORLD?
“Read everyone’s mind. Then you know what people really think of you. You could use it in racing, plan what they’re going to do and then do the opposite.”
WET TYRES ON A DRY TRACK OR DRY TYRES ON A WET TRACK?
“Wet tyres on a dry track. You just lose time otherwise. And it’s easier to stay on the track.”
TRAIN FOR A 100-METRE SPRINT OR A MARATHON?
“Marathon. I run quite a bit. I don’t run that far, just 5-10km, but it’s nice.”
UNDERDRESSED OR OVERDRESSED?
“Underdressed.”
