Our experts' guide on how you can become a better racing driver

A lot of young racing drivers emulate the approach used in Formula 1, which they probably should because that's the pinnacle. But you need to get the right balance.

It may be old school, maybe just even normal school, but I don't think it's particularly different. It's just not what we maybe expect to see in motorsport. I don't think too much about what I write and put on social media but I try and make sure there's a purpose to it and it's not just boring drivel - 'this is my office for the day', the amount of times you see that shit is very, very boring.
