"The thing is, as soon as you step across that red line into 🥀the garage, you l🐭eave behind all the noise from the paddock. And as soon as you went across that red line everything is business as normal,” he said.

"My role remains 🌟unchanged. In that there’s an awful lot… I wear many hats with [being] trackside, I'm the team principal of a high-performing sports team and from Monday to Friday, I'm the CEO of three technology businesses on chassis, engine and advanced technology.

"So, nothing has changed, business as normal."
