Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak: My Ultimate Driver

Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak is all set to return for a second campaign of FIA Formula 3 in 2025, with the Thai racer set to drive for Campos Racing next season.
However, earlier this year we sat down with him and asked him to build his ultimate racing driver, and with the help of Nikita Bedrin and Joshua Dufek he did just that.
INTELLIGENCE
“I'm going to go for my teammate Nikita Bedrin. He's very intelligent, he's just a smart guy on and off the track, so I'd say he is intelligent.”

DRIVING IN THE WET?
“Max Verstappen. Every time it's raining, he always seems to be at the front, even when he doesn't have a good car, so I’d say him.”
QUALIFYING
“Verstappen. Everything could be him.”

CORNERING
“Through the corners? It's usually always the best driver, and at the moment that’s Max, so I will go with him again.”

TYRE MANAGEMENT
“I will say Lewis Hamilton for this one. There is no specific example but just watching him over time he's just the best at managing his tyres.”
BRAVERY
“Nikita Bedrin. If you want an example, look at what he did last year in Melbourne, he risked a lot. Just go back and watch it and you will see.”

SMOOTHEST
“I will say Taylor Barnard. I don't have a specific reason for this but the way he drove always impressed me.”
OVERTAKING
“It’s hard to pick for this one, there are so many drivers who are good at overtaking, so I can’t pick.”
