What time do you wake up?

Normally I wake up around 9 am when I’m at home, but when I’m at the circuit around 7 am.

What is the first thing you do when you wake up?

After I wake up the first thing I do is brush my teeth.

What do you usually eat for breakfast?

When I’m at home I like to have an omelet with cucumber and cheese but at the circuit toast with ham and cheese. 

What does your working day look like?

I go to the gym for anywhere between 2–4 hours per day. I also go on the simulator at home in the afternoon. 

What do you eat for lunch?

For lunch, I like to eat something different each day. I like fish, steak, grilled chicken with sides but I’m not a big fan of vegetables. 

Do you have any hobbies that aren’t related to motorsport?

Yes! I love skiing, especially freeride, bike-riding, swimming, and many other things. I like riding my enduro motorcycle and doing some off-roading. 

What do you typically eat for dinner?

It depends if I’m ordering food or preparing something at home but sometimes I’ll have pasta or pizza. Sometimes meat, or sometimes only a toast.

How do you unwind after a day of work?

Driving my sim with other guys is relaxing, but also chilling with my friends or talking to them on facetime. 

What’s your favourite part of your day?

I like everything I get to do but I would say my favourite part is taking the time for lunch. 

What time do you go to sleep?

I tend to go to sleep between 11 and 11:30 pm.


It’s interesting to see that a day in the life of a top-level athlete isn’t too dissimilar from the typical uni day, seeing friends and eating good food. Maybe not the 2–4 hours in the gym though…
