Hi there

Well, my Japanese F3 season is now over but I'm planning on staying on in Japan for a while longer and will hopefully fit in a few breaks in Asia before returning to the UK!

In between two Japanese F3 race weekends, I popped over to join A1 Team GBR in Brno for 48 hours!  It was a fun weekend and good to see A1GP from a very different perspective in my role as pit-lane reporter and commentator!  I'm used to being in front of the camera, but found it a completely different experience when I was the one asking the questions!!  It was certainly much harder than I had anticipated and I think it goes to show what a great job our current pit-lane reporters and commentators are doing as they make it look so easy.  The audio work and commentating in the studio was much easier as it was more what I am used to.

Overall I really enjoyed the weekend as a whole but I can't wait to get back to my role as a racing driver for A1 Team GBR!

Hi! 

After a long break away from A1GP, it was great to be back testing the car again last week.  It was also a good chance to catch up with all the guys at A1 Team GBR and the other drivers from last season - its definitely a great environment in the A1GP paddock!  The test went well for A1 Team GBR but one thing thats become clear is that this season is set to be the most competitive yet!!!  But I'm delighted to have been announced as the driver for the opening round and hope to continue our good form from last season. 

With a month long break in my All Japanese F3 race calendar, its fantastic to have the whole of September back in the UK to catch up with friends, spend some with the team and generally get myself ready for Zandvoort at the end of the month!

Hello All,

Currently here at Eastern Creek in Australia.  Great to be back with the team after having to miss the Taupo race due to other commitments.  Unfortunately the weather hasn’t quite been what I expected but I had a fantastic first couple of days here at Bondi Beach and in the Blue Mountains.

After the morning practice session today, I feel that as a team we’re in an extremely strong position and with Robbie’s prior knowledge of the circuit anything less than 2 podiums will be a disappointment.  I initially had to carry out duties for the team in terms of bedding in new discs and pads for the races on Sunday and therefore the lap time wasn’t as competitive as it could have been.    However, the car feels really good and the important thing is that we gained valuable data that should aid the team over the weekend.  Hopefully we’ll have some good news to report back to you come Sunday evening.
