Time for another ‘10 Questions’ guest! This time it’s Singaporean racer Nikhil Bohra! American-born, Bohra, 17, races in ADAC and Italian F4 with US Racing as he embarks on a first full year in European single seater racing.
📸 In action; Nikhil Bohra.
At the time of writing, Nikhil is sat in 13th place in both series’ he’s running in this year, managing points on four occasions in Italian F4, and once in ADAC F4, though he has missed two rounds(Zandvoort and Nurburgring) compared to those around him in the championship.

Onto Nikhil’s answers!
1. Hairpins or chicanes? I find chicanes more fun, they’re usually faster.
2. Long straights or slow corners? Probably slow corners. Any corner is more fun than a straight haha!
3. Understeer or oversteer? Oversteer. I feel like it’s easier to use oversteer to gain an advantage than it is with understeer.
4. Fast circuits or technical circuits? Personally I prefer fast circuits as they typically flow better and it’s more fun to be at the limit in a high speed corner.
5. Wet races or wet/dry races? Wet/dry races as the track changes every lap so you need to be super precise and take any advantage possible.
6. What’s your favourite circuit you’ve raced? Spa is one of my favorite circuits and it is beautiful to drive.
📸 “Beautiful” Spa.
7. Favourite you’ve NOT raced? I’ve only tested at Mugello, but I feel like I’d love it once I race there.

8. Your favourite F1 livery ever? It’s hard for me to decide between the 2009 Brawn livery or the 2020 BLM Mercedes livery.
📸 The 2009 Brawn GP car, won 100% of the championships it entered, as Button led the team to a shock victory.
9. Favourite helmet design ever? Lando’s basketball helmet.
📸 Lando’s basketball helmet didn’t bring much luck as he crashed out of the Miami Grand Prix. Looks cool though.
10. Who is the best driver you’ve raced against? Gabrielé Mini and Andrea Kimi Antonelli are two of the strongest drivers I’ve raced against.
📸 Already signed by Mercedes, Antonelli is expected to go to the very top.
Thanks to Nikhil for taking the time to answer my questions, hopefully we can do something again sometime!
Nikhil is next in action at the Lausitzring, Germany on 19-21st August in ADAC F4 action.
