MP Motorsport’s Bruno del Pino tackles the Would you Rather questions and gives his insights on running, acting and his favourite racing tracks in the world.
Here’s how the Spaniard got on.
WOULD YOU RATHER BE A FAMOUS SINGER OR ACTOR?
“Famous actor 100% I’d like to play a role in a movie for sure. I’m a bit dramatic so that would be cool to do. Singer – ok when you’re singing your song in front of a crowd and they’re all singing too, it would be cool, but an actor is much better for your life, you don’t have to fly for concerts all the time.”
WIN YOUR HOME RACE ONCE OR THE MONACO GRAND PRIX MULTIPLE TIMES?
“Monaco Grand Prix. Actually…if you can win once, it’s quite good but three times would be legendary.”
WIN THE INDY 500 OR THE 24 HOURS OF LE MANS?
“24 Hours of Le Mans. I watch a bit, the highlights, and I think it’s a very historical race. That and the Daytona 24 as well.”
WIN FROM POLE OR LAST?
“Win from pole. Then you’ve done a perfect weekend I’d say. If you start last, it’s because you’ve done something bad.”
PERMANENT TRACK OR STREET CIRCUIT?
“Permanent track. My favourite track is Zandvoort. It’s a tricky track because there are narrow parts. Maybe Red Bull Ring as well.”
KARAOKE OR DANCE OFF?
“Karaoke.”
FRONT ROW AT FASHION WEEK OR THE OSCARS?
“Oscars. I like movies, and there’s so much going on at the Oscars that sitting in the front row would be cool.”
WIN THE TITLE WITHOUT A WIN OR TAKE MULTIPLE WINS AND MISS THE TITLE?
“Win the title without winning races. The title is the most important thing.”
TOO HOT OR TOO COLD
“Too cold. If it’s really cold weather then you can manage it but if it’s really hot, you can’t leave your house.”
BECOME A ROCKSTAR OR ASTRONAUT
“Rockstar. I couldn’t live in a spaceship, that’s too claustrophobic.”

DISCOVER A NEW ISLAND OR FIND A NEW PLANET IN SPACE
“Travel to space. I already have an orange jumpsuit so I’m ready. Finding a new planet would be cool.”
EAT WITH A SPOON OR A FORK FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
“Spoon because you can still have soup, but you can’t with a fork.”
READ PEOPLE’S MINDS OR KNOW EVERY LANGAUGE
“Read people’s minds. I don’t know… I think it would be to see if someone is nice to me. Would be helpful for negotiating too!”
DRY TYRES ON A WET TRACK OR WET TYRES ON A DRY TRACK
“Wet tyres on a dry track. Nobody wants dry tyres on a wet track.”
TRAIN FOR 100-METRE SPRINT OR MARATHON
“100-metre sprint. I wouldn’t last for a marathon, I’d get bored after like five kilometres. I did two 10Km races, that’s the max for me, I’d get bored otherwise. The sprint is over quickly.”
UNDERDRESSED OR OVERDRESSED
“Underdressed. Better to be relaxed, overdressed is too much.”
