Luke We've all been Hitech boys at one point.

Luke How many positions did we make up throughout the whole race?

Edward Obviously, two retirements, but I think one of them is going to be behind you anyway. So six places made up on pace.

Luke My journey started at a local car show.

[hitechboy]

Luke It felt like driving a Formula 1 car again for the first time. The last manual car I've driven on the circuit was a Citroën Saxo, so it was a little bit of a step up from that. A bit different, it was good fun.

[hitechboy]

Luke It feels like the first time driving a Formula 1 car. To think this was once driving around Monaco, and now I've had my boots in it. It's fantastic.

[hitechboy]

Luke I think I look at the way that I've gone through the sport and say, I'm so lucky to have gone through it that way, because if you're a billionaire and you come up against a challenge, why bother continuing to do it? Sometimes being given it all on a plate is the hardest way to do things. Look at Fernando. Fernando has been doing it for this many years. Maybe some people's perception might be it's time to move on. But equally, he's still driving very quickly, still motivated to this day. That's because he had so many challenges to get to where he did.

Luke It was Brands Hatch, once again a biblical wet day. We qualified close to last on the grid, we had no idea what we were doing. When it switched to the race, with so much rain coming down, we just ran through the grid, and we ended up winning the race. The first two races I'd ever driven in single-seater in Formula 4 against the likes of guys like Zane Maloney, but he was with a very well-known team at the time called Carlin. It's been a bit of a path.

Luke Lando is such a funny guy.

Luke It was just torrential rain, biblical. And it was to the extent where the title protagonists didn't bother going out. But it was my one opportunity to show myself. So I was just lapping around all day, aquaplaning through all these puddles at a terrible circuit called Rockingham. And I ended up P1 at the end of the day, mainly because I'd done the most amount of laps and no one else was out there. But it was enough to sell back to the investor at the time, and he ended up taking me through into Ginetta Juniors. It's where Lando started his first step into cars.

[hitechboy]

Luke I've actually known Max before he won a world championship. We spent so much time on the simulator together, and it's the same with Bortoletto. Obviously, he's just joined Formula 1 this year. I walked through with Bortoletto in the previous two years, no one had any idea who he was. Then this year, you couldn't walk with him. It's funny the way it goes in this sport.

[hitechboy]

Luke I went to a show called the Autosport Show in the UK. There was a Ginetta Junior simulator there, and I went on there, ending up being the quickest. Because I couldn't go and test the go-karts, I thought, "Right, I'll do as much on the simulator as I could," and that's actually what gave me my opportunity in the end.
