Delighted to share this edition of '10 Questions' with F1 Academy star and fellow Scot, Chloe Grant! The ART Grand Prix driver had a quick chat with me to discuss nothing but racing ahead of the F1 Academy finale at COTA.
Chloe is one of 15 drivers in the inaugural F1 Academy series, a Formula 4 level championship organised by Formula Motorsport Limited, built with the aim of helping women reach the pinnacle of motorsport.
📸 Chloe(left) with a few of her fellow F1 Academy competitors Amna and Hamda El Qubaisi, Emely de Heus, Carrie Schreiner and Léna Bühler.
Chloe herself moved to the series having raced in the UK based GB4 Championship in 2022 where she raced against fellow F1 Academy drivers Megan Gilkes and Jessica Edgar and finished ninth overall, showing incredible consistency.
Onto the interview!
1. Hairpins or chicanes? Chicanes.
