Delétraz's unlikely alternate career path revealed

This feature explores the alternate side to our racing drivers, with a series of diverse and fun questions. The drivers simply have to roll a set of dice and answer questions that link to the numbers they roll.

Swiss racer Louis Delétraz is up next and he reveals his ultimate bucket list, a rather cool alternate career path and the things which he couldn’t live without.

11. What three things are on your bucket list?

Going to New Zealand, making it to Formula 1 and winning 24 hour of Le Mans.

I have loved the look of New Zealand since I was young. I’ve been to Australia, which was amazing, but I have seen pictures of New Zealand and I love travelling, so that is somewhere that I want to do. I think the second two are self-explanatory!

7. If you weren’t a racing driver, what would you be?

A fighter pilot. I think that it’s a fairly similar career in terms of the adrenaline that it gives you and how fast they go. I love planes in general, how they work and the engineering behind it.

Otherwise, probably an engineer, either in motorsport or on planes.

4. What couldn’t you live without?

Family and racing. I couldn’t live without either of these two, I think it’s these two things together really. They are the two things that make me go forward and without them, it would be very different. I am lucky to have that and the people around me.

3. Where would you most like to live?

I want to visit New Zealand, so I wouldn’t mind living there either! It looks pretty awesome. The only problem is that it is pretty far away. Otherwise, maybe the US, somewhere like New York or Los Angeles.

6. What is your biggest fear?

Not achieving and losing, because I dedicate so much into not only racing, but also everything that I take on. When I do something, I dedicate everything to it, and no one really likes failure. I am someone who wants to win and who wants to succeed. So doing something badly, that is a fear.
