Slow living at home, cameras and cooking: Behind the Visor with Kanato Le

Hitech's Kanato Le has been confirmed for another season in FIA Formula 3 in 2027, but outside of the race track, what does he get up to in his spare time?

Unwinding after a race weekend can be tricky, but Le says he has plenty of hobbies to choose form in order to unwind and decompress.

"When I'm away from the racetrack, I still like to go on my sim quite a bit. But I think if it's nothing related to racing, I quite like to go on a run or cycle also.

"I do bouldering as well. I like rock climbing. So I enjoy that. Since I'm living on my own, I like cooking my own food as well.

"Recently, I started doing a bit of videography. I used to do quite a bit of photography. So I have all the stuff. When I was scrolling on Instagram, I always see some cool videography, cinematography stuff. And I just wanted to give it a try and it's been pretty nice.

"I think the most recent thing I've done was when I was in Austria. Since I had a free day on the Wednesday, we went to a pretty nice place with a lake and some mountains.

"I was just recording some nature stuff. And I think it's really nice just kind of being in that relaxed environment in nature and taking some videos.

"I think I'm quite used to it by now, living by myself. I've been living on my own since 2022. Before that I was in a boarding house. But, it's quite nice. You get some freedom, peace and quiet by yourself.

"You can do whatever you want. I can cook my own food and do whatever, whenever without having to think about other people. I'm quite good at carbonara. It's pretty nice and I really enjoy it.

"In general, I think it takes maybe one or two days just to fully reset after a race weekend. I think it's important to kind of move on after a weekend and just switch off completely.

"I think it's pretty nice just living on my own because I can just chill and just do whatever I want. Go and listen to music or go on a run or whatever. In that sense, I think it really helps me to switch off."
