The focus of the latest edition of '10 Questions to a Racing Driver' is Israeli youngster Ariel Elkin, who currently races in Italian Formula 4.
Elkin, 16, is statistically the best karting driver to come out of Israel and is beginning to hold his own in single seaters in his rookie year in F4 cars for Jenzer Motorsport.
Could the Haifa born teenager be Israel's hope for first ever full time F1 driver? Time will tell!
