If you don't mind me asking, what's your technical background? You seem well versed in the technical side of things (plus, you read HN!). I had kind of assumed your background was mostly racing.

BTW, I really enjoyed the Medical Car feature on formula1.com last year. I moonlight as a paramedic, and as part of that I'm often an ambulance driving instructor. Your quote about having some "capacity in reserve" is something I incorporate in my teaching now.

Although I've spent the majority of my professional life driving around in circles, I have always been interested in technology, and worked in IT before I started racing professionally. Learning about materials, electronics, and manufacturing have been mainly through trial and error over the past 2 years, and working with some very talented people in their respective fields.

Great to hear that there's been some value in something I've said in an interview!

Alan, if you put your email in your profile, or email me at mine, we can get in touch with the HN mods and get an AMA together. I think it’s really worth doing.
