Why not?
There's plenty of opportunities here if I do a good enough job.
So I better make sure I do a good job.
Honestly, probably no.
Really?
Yeah.
I was realistic.
And I think until I got to F2, my goal...
I always kind of split into my dream and my goal.
My dream was always to be an F1 driver, but my goal was always to just be a professional racing driver.
I just wanted to race cars for a living.
I didn't really mind if it was an F1 car, a supercar in Australia...
GT cars IndyCar even although with age I'm not so sure I'd go race IndyCar now but I wanted to be a professional racing driver and I was very realistic that you know my chances of getting to F1 are
incredibly small.
So I'd kind of accepted that from a young age.
But I also thought, you know, even if I don't make it to F1, I'm just going to get as far as I can up the junior ladder.
And, you know, if I don't make it, then hopefully there's an opportunity that comes from racing in F3 or F2.
And I didn't really let myself kind of
dare to you know turn that dream into a goal until I got to F2 and started to fight for the championship there that I went okay the next and even then it was kind of more a logical step of going okay well the next thing you know if this goes well say if I win this year the only step left is F1 um
Rather than going like, I'm in F2 now, okay, now I really want to get to F1.
