00:00 Tell me about the moment when you were handed your first chance to drive in a Formula One car on race weekend.
00:07 That was very special. That was a day that I really felt very stressed and nervous.
00:13 Because I was driving for the first time in a Grand Prix weekend on FP1 in Austria.
00:20 I know you are from Austria, right?
00:22 And then as well as a car of Alonso, which was my racing idol since 2005.
00:31 After my first year watching F1 in 2004.
00:35 So he still is my racing idol.
00:38 Stepping on his car, I do feel a lot of responsibility.
00:41 But on the other hand, I do feel like it's such an honour for me.
00:45 Just to have a good chance of showing what I can do as a young driver from the academy of the same company at the time, which was Alpine Renault.
00:56 So yeah, I really enjoyed that.
