My two kids and their antics. Everyday.

3. What was the last movie you saw?

Fly Me To The Moon

Porsche 911. Don't mind the type.

6. Your greatest motorsport success?

Building an incredible team of people around me who ensure I always have the tools to win, provided I do my part. 

7. Your greatest failure?

I've made mistakes, but these are not failures because they have made me who I am.
