by Alex Johnston In the first of what I hope will become a regular blog, I ask a racing driver 10 questions about racing.
My first guest is Alex Walker who in 2022 is racing in the inaugural GB4 Championship season, where he is racing with the Elite Motorsport team. The 18 year old Brit is extremely highly rated and has been chosen by the likes of Aston Martin, Porsche and McLaren for evaluation for young driver programmes. He was also named a British Racing Drivers Club(BRDC) Rising Star.
A current goal for Alex is to compete in the illustrious 24 Hours of Le Mans race.
Here is Alex’s 10 answers, have a read at what he has to say!
1. Hairpins or chicanes? Chicanes.
2. Long straights or slow corners? Slow corners.
3. Understeer or oversteer? Oversteer.
4. Fast circuits or technical circuits? Fast circuits.
5. Wet races or wet/dry races? Dry races.
6. What’s your favourite circuit you’ve raced? Oulton Park.
📸 Oulton Park, a favourite among British racing fans.
7. Favourite you’ve NOT raced? Tough, but Brands(Brands Hatch) GP was great to test the other week! Barcelona was also great in December!
📸Brands Hatch Circuit.
8. Your favourite F1 livery ever? 2008 McLaren(MP4-23).
📸McLaren’s MP4-23 - driven by Lewis Hamilton, and yes; that’s Glock.
9. Your favourite helmet design ever? Loved the majority of Jenson’s(Button) red, white and blue helmets!
📸 Jenson’s helmets always tended to be eye catching.
10. Who is the best driver you’ve raced against? That’s difficult to name one driver. Everyone at the front of junior karting was always really quick and good so someone from my junior karting career!
A huge thanks to Alex for taking the time out of his schedule to answer these questions! Hopefully I can speak with him again soon and I wish him all the best for the rest of his season!
Catch Alex in action at the next round of the GB4 Championship at Donington Park on the 28-29th of May.
