As I continue to work through my list of interviews completed, my latest guest is 2022 RoKit British F4 racer Joel Pearson!
I spoke with Joel earlier this year and he answered the '10 Questions' with me!
📸 Joel's design is eyecatching.
Joel ended the F4 season 16th overall as he completed a half season on his inspirational return from treatment for a rare form of bone cancer. He was also sidelined by injuries sustained in a crash during the season.
Onto the questions!
1. Hairpins or chicanes? Chicanes are more fun.
2. Long straights or slow corners? Long straights.
3. Understeer or oversteer? Oversteer all day long.
4. Fast circuits or technical circuits? I like both but I’d say technical.
📸 Joel in action.
5. Wet races or wet/dry races? I love wet races.
6. What's your favourite circuit you've raced? Donington is my favourite.
📸 Ayrton Senna's 'Lap of the Gods' happened at Donington.
7. What's your favourite you've NOT raced? I’d say Le Mans.

8. What's your favourite F1 livery ever? I really liked the blue Toro Rosso’s.

9. Your favourite helmet design ever? I can’t remember who it was but I remember seeing someone with a KFC bucket helmet! 😂
📸 Sean Gelael ran this KFC design!
10. Who's the best driver you've raced against? I’d say Zak O’Sullivan, I raced against him in 2019.

Thanks Joel for your time and sorry for the speed I've gotten it done!! This was a great chat and I'd forgotten about that KFC design before this!
