Time for my first interview of 2023! My guest on this edition of '10 Questions to a Racing Driver' is Dutch teenager Robert De Haan!
Robert is yet another young talent on the conveyor belt of Dutch drivers following in the footsteps of Max Verstappen as racing continues to be increasingly popular in the Netherlands.
📸 Like Verstappen, de Haan has represented Van Amersfoort Racing.
Robert spent 2022 racing largely in Spanish Formula 4 as well as a stint in the F4 UAE championship. In Spanish F4 he ended the year 10th overall, taking 1 podium; a third place at Spa-Francorchamps racing for Monlau Motorsport.
