Would you Rather with John Bennett

Van Amersfoort Racing’s John Bennett is the latest driver on the 2025 grid to tackle the Would you Rather questions.

The Briton talks about his love of space, why cardio isn’t his strong suit and his fashion sense.

WOULD YOU RATHER BE A FAMOUS SINGER OR A FAMOUS ACTOR?

“A famous actor. I like a good movie and I’m not a great singer. So I’d say actor because I don’t want to sing in front of a big crowd, whereas if you’re an actor, a lot of people are seeing you but not live.”

WIN THE MONACO GRAND PRIX MULTIPLE TIMES OR YOUR HOME RACE ONCE?

“Win Monaco multiple times. Multiple wins is always better than one. I’d love to win at Silverstone but Monaco’s hardly a bad place to win at.”

WIN THE 24 HOURS OF LE MANS OR THE INDY 500?

“24 Hours of Le Mans. I’m an endurance racing fan and I think it’s one of the most exciting races in the world. I’d love to race there one day.”

WIN FROM POLE OR WIN FROM LAST?

“Win from pole. The weekend’s going so well that way. If you have a bad qualifying, even if the result is ok, it’s never a great feeling afterwards whereas if you go pole and win, it’s a great weekend.”

STREET CIRCUITS OR PERMANENT TRACKS?

“I hadn’t driven on a street circuit until Monaco, and before I would’ve said permanent circuit.”

KARAOKE OR DANCE OFF?

“I’ll say karaoke. I need to think of a song though… Sweet Caroline.”

FRONT ROW AT THE OSCARS OR FASHION WEEK?

“Front row at the Oscars. Not really into fashion so if I was front row at fashion week, I wouldn’t really know what I was looking at.”

WIN THE TITLE WIN NO WINS OR TAKE MULTIPLE VICTORIES BUT MISS OUT ON THE TITLE?

“Win the Championship. It’s the most important thing. I’ve come second in a championship twice with multiple wins and it’s not a great feeling, so I’d rather win the Championship.”

TOO HOT OR TOO COLD?

“Too cold. You can always warm up whereas if you’re too hot, it’s just uncomfortable.”

BE AN ASTRONAUT OR ROCKSTAR?

“Astronaut. I wanted to be an astronaut when I was growing up, I love space.”

FLY TO SPACE AND DISCOVER A NEW PLANET OR FIND AN UNDISCOVERED ISLAND ON EARTH?

“Fly to space. It would be pretty cool.”

EAT WITH A SPOON OR FORK FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?

“Eat with a fork. Do you have a knife as well? Yeah? OK definitely a fork then. The only thing you miss out on is soup, but I can live with that.”

KNOW EVERY LANGUAGE IN THE WORLD OR READ MINDS?

“Know every single language in the world. If you could read minds, I don’t think you’d want to after a while.”

DRY TYRES ON A WET TRACK OR WET TYRES ON A DRY TRACK?

“Dry tyres on a wet track, it’s a bit more fun. When you’re on wet tyres on a dry track you just start sliding around and it just gets worse and worse. I guess it depends on the kind of weather and how wet it is.”

RUN A MARATHON OR 100-METRE SPRINT

“I’d say marathon as I’d do better than in a 100-metre sprint. A sprint is over quicker, but I’d still say marathon. I don’t enjoy cardio while I’m doing it, but I like it after I’m done.”

UNDERDRESSED OR OVERDRESSED?

“Overdressed. It’s always more awkward if you’re underdressed, whereas if you’re overdressed, it’s a bit more normal.”
