I wish someone had told me when I first started out that there is no one right path. Everyone working in this industry takes their own path and their own timeline, there is no one right way to do it

I was 13 when I first became interested in being in a paddock, but I was 20 before I considered a motorsport career. I was already 2 years into a seemingly unrelated degree, but was still able to work for the most successful f1 team at the time for 5 championship winning seasons, before setting off to travel the world with multiple smaller teams and championships.

I did none of the things people in the industry will tell you that you need, i just pursued what I wanted with a passion and a faith, and now I am living the life I dreamed of 10 years ago!

What's one piece of advice you wish you knew sooner?
