Kacper Sztuka: My Ultimate Driver

We know how quick Kacper Sztuka is behind the wheel of Formula 3 machinery for MP Motorsport, so why not give him a new challenge of designing the ultimate racing driver.

The Polish rookie gave his view on who he thinks is the smoothest and best over one lap, and why he thinks Max Verstappen is so brave.

INTELLIGENCE

“I think for this one I would go with Niki Lauda. He was just so calculated, and I think he was a very clever guy. So, because of that, he was always calm and this means he would not break under pressure. So, for me he is the one.”

DRIVING IN THE WET

“I think I would go for Ayrton Senna, he was great in the wet. I have seen some races of him in the wet from the past and every time I watched I kept thinking he was just so talented and fast.”

QUALIFYING

“I would go for Lewis Hamilton here. We have seen so many quick laps from him during the hybrid era. So, for me I think he is the one.”

CORNERING

“For this one, it’s usually the fastest driver. So, currently I would go for Max Verstappen as he is winning at the moment.”

TYRE MANAGEMENT

“It has to be Sergio Perez. I think we have seen some very good tyre saving performances from him in the last few years, so I would pick him for tyre management.”

BRAVERY

“Max for sure. He is so brave on the track. I think it is something you are born with it, but I also think it can be developed with how your career goes. So, for example, how you are taught to race from when you are young and how much you learn from that.”

OVERTAKING

“Again, probably Max for this one. Actually, maybe it is Daniel Ricciardo. He is so good at overtaking on track, and we always remember what he did in China 2018.”

SMOOTH OR AGGRESSIVE

“I always like the smooth drivers and I think for me the smoothest one is Hamilton. The most aggressive I would say Max, but they are both very very good.”

ANYTHING ELSE?

“I would probably say defending. Sergio Perez, the Minister of Defence, he is great at defending, we have seen it a lot of time. Actually, I have to pick Fernando Alonso. I think this one belongs to Alonso actually. I will go for him, he is so good in defence.”
