Another interview, another all new guest! This time it's German driver; Jakob Bergmeister!
18 year old Bergmeister spent 2023 racing in the Euroformula Open Championship, finishing an impressive fifth overall, falling short of a race win but mustering up three second place finishes. He also began the year racing in the F4 UAE series.
