Hyman’s fear of missed opportunities and love for Pringles

*This feature explores the alternate side to our racing drivers. What’s always in their fridge? What do they do in their spare time? What’s on their bucket list? The drivers simply have to roll a set of dice and answer questions that link to the numbers they roll.

Raoul Hyman is up next…*

5. What is your guilty pleasure?

Salt and vinegar Pringles, any day of the week. I can have a really good diet, at all times, but I can't say no to salt and vinegar Pringles. Salt and Vinegar anything really. Rice cakes as well, they are really good, although they're not Pringles. They advertise it truthfully - once you pop, you don't stop - It is legit.

4. What couldn’t you live without?

Salt and vinegar Pringles laughs! Or, Jamie Dye (Charouz Racing System Team Manager). He sorts my life out on a day-to-day basis at the track.

Other than racing? Church. That helps me to get my priorities right and in order. There are bigger things to be worrying about.

I went to Nepal in 2019, in-between the final test and the first race of 2019, with a charity for my church, which does a lot of work out there. It is called United Vision Nepal. I went to see some of the work that they are doing up in the mountains and the rural areas, where people don't have electricity or running water. They supply wells and water filtration systems and other things like that.

It was good for me, because it gives you perspective on things, and I wouldn't have had that without the connections to the church. I live within racing and you walk around luxury and wealth and then you go to a place like that and it really puts your head straight. A bit of a deep answer, but there you go.

8. What do you do in your spare time?

It has been pretty manic this year with racing - which is awesome. I would rather spend all of my spare time here - but it has been all of the usual stuff other than that. Training and simulator time.

What is nice, is that the workshop is in Prague, so you can go over, use the sim, and it is quite close to the city centre, so you can go in and look around.

I have done my undergraduate in law, and I have finished that now. I have also completed a legal practice course as well. Because of finishing those, I suddenly have a lot more free time, whereas before that, things were crazy.

When I raced in GP3 in 2017, I remember having four exams in eight days and a race weekend in the middle of that. It was pretty intense. Thankfully, it all worked out, so I have a lot more free time and I have been able to focus on the racing, which is pretty awesome.

9. Who is your celebrity crush?

I don't know to be honest... When I was younger, it was Hermione Granger, but that was more because I was mad on the Harry Potter books. That isn't the case anymore now. Genuinely, I am not sure anymore.

6. What is your biggest fear?

Missed opportunities. I am not one to get scared of spiders, and things like that, but, I never want to get to a point one day and think back and think that I could have done this or that. I guess that it is both a fear and a motivation.
