Another week and another guest! This time Malaysian driver Alister Yoong steps into the ‘10 Questions’ hotseat!
The young driver is the son of former Formula 1 racer Alex Yoong, who raced for Minardi in 2001-02 and is currently working towards finding a full time race seat to add to the experience he has driving Formula 4 cars.

At 19, he’s had on track sessions in a number of series’, as well as having a crack at some eSports racing experience.
Anyway, onto Alister’s answers!
1. Hairpins or chicanes? Hairpins.
2. Long straights or slow corners? Long straights.
3. Understeer or oversteer? I like a fast car, and a neutral handling, if there’s an imbalance it’s my job to drive around it.
4. Fast circuits or technical circuits? I like fast but I think I’ve done better at technical tracks.
5. Wet races or wet/dry races? Dry but the wet is fun.
6. What’s your favourite circuit you’ve raced? I have to say Sepang in Malaysia or maybe Abu Dhabi with the new layout.
📸 Sepang was always a fan favourite circuit, and is Alister’s favourite to race so far.
7. Favourite you’ve NOT raced? Nordschleife or maybe Macau.

8. Your favourite F1 livery ever? The 2006 Renault.

9. Your favourite helmet design ever? I like my dads and mine, love the old school striking simple look.
📸 Alister and dad Alex’s helmets both feature the Malaysian flag.
10. Who’s the best driver you’ve raced against? Haven’t raced technically but the best driver I’ve shared sessions or a weekend I’d say either Zhou(Guanyu), Jack Doohan and Jamie Chadwick.
📸 Alister shared the track with current F1 driver Zhou Guanyu.
Thanks to Alister for taking the time! Hopefully we can chat again sometime.
