Sit back and get comfortable, it’s time to speed date.
We know that many people would love to sit across from Oscar with a delicious pastry in one hand and a mug of hot coffee in the other and get to know him better on a speed date. So grab a flat white and treat yourself to a croissant and allow yourself to fall into this scenario.
To help you get to know our newest driver a little better, we asked him a series of classic rapid-fire questions in Bahrain, from the strangest food to his animal of choice. Here’s what he had to say…
Who is your inspiration?
I don’t have one person who particularly inspires me. Instead, I have a few competitors and other athletes, and I try to draw inspiration from them in many areas.
