Who is your best friend inside the paddock?
Apart from my team, so obviously friends inside the team… Friend is a strong word that I don’t like using for anything or anyone. My best relationship in the paddock of all the drivers and engineers I would say still Lando [Norris] and some of my engineers that I’ve had – Tom Stallard, Ricky [Riccardo Adami], I have really good relationships with.
This is pretty topical with what we’re doing right now, but if you could form an F1 five-a-side football team, who would be in it and why?
Fernando [Alonso] and me, I think we’re probably the best. Pierre [Gasly], I saw him play quite decently. I would take Gigi. He’s the best defender, like nearly professional he was at his time. If I can get a wildcard that’s not an F1 driver, I’ll take Gigi. Goalkeeper, anyone?
Pierluigi: My colleague, if you want!
What’s your ultimate meal? That’s a starter, main, dessert and drink…
I would say for starter a slice of pizza, for main a smash burger, a good smash burger, and for dessert a tiramisu, gelato, cheesecake, pancakes, things like that…
