“One of the reasons I love this job is that there’s no two days the same. There’s always surprises, there’s always curveballs, and that’s when I thrive. When the race starts, you have no idea what the story is that you’re about to tell. But also, the platforms on which we communicate change all the time. Now it’s social media, chasing the algorithm all the time. For me, the everchanging landscape is where I thrive.”

“I’ve worked with lots of race teams and I’ve loved every single one of them, but for me, where I am in my own life and how I am as a human, combined with this project and where it’s at, is just the perfect timing for me. We’ve all started a project together, all representing two of the world’s biggest brands in Porsche and Penske. We’ve also done amazing things together in motorsport to now go and rewrite the history books together, and that’s a real honour.”

“As a huge sportscar racing fan, I’ve been watching it since I was a child, but Porsche has always been a dream brand for me to work with. Obviously the LMP1 car, the Porsche 919, in terms of a piece of engineering, was absolutely incredible. I would be absolutely terrified to drive that, however! Let’s say that I can drive a car, I’d like to drive the Porsche 919 Evo - it was never raced but I’d like to race that.”

“If we’re counting motorbikes, when I was around four or five, I got my first motorbike - a tiny little 25cc Yamaha - and I used to ride that around Shropshire, which is a very rural area of England on the border with Wales. The British Motocross Championship would come to near where I lived and we would take my bike up there and I would ride around the car park and up into the hills around there to watch the motocross bikes whizz around the forest. That was probably my earliest, and then as I got older and could go out and about myself a bit more, I would go and watch the rally stages in Wales.”

“If I had to swap jobs within the teams… I would be rubbish on the pit crew, I’m quite good at data, I think I’d be a data engineer. If it’s outside motorsport, I’d be a gardener - hands down, every day, no doubt about it. I’d be out on my own, no other humans, just me and my dog being paid to garden would be the absolute dream.”
