Matías Zagazeta is next to take on our would you rather questions and the DAMS Lucas Oil driver rises to the challenge.

The Peruvian talks space, spoons and why a different kind of race could be on the cards soon.

BE A FAMOUS SINGER OF ACTOR?

“I think famous actor. I’ve always wanted to do a bit of acting. When I was younger, I was in some drama classes and had to do a play. It wasn’t great, but my singing is worse!”

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

“Oooh, I don’t have a home Grand Prix at the moment, but if we did, I would for sure want to win my home race. No doubt. It would be the best experience of my whole life, a national holiday incoming for sure!”

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

“24 Hours of Le Mans, 100% and it’s a race I really want to do. With DAMS being based there, you get a little bit of the vibe of it. Hopefully one day.”

PERMANENT TRACK OR STREET CIRCUIT?

“Hmm it depends. I think my favourite track is either Melbourne or Monaco, so I think street track.”

KARAOKE OR DANCE OFF?

“Karaoke.”

FRONT ROW AT FASHION WEEK OR THE OSCARS?

“Front row at the Oscars. I’m not very interested in fashion week, and I like movies more.”

WIN THE TITLE WITHOUT A WIN OR TAKE MULTIPLE WINS AND MISS THE TITLE?

“I want to win the title. I think that’s what everyone wants to do.”

TOO HOT OR TOO COLD

“Too hot. I think in Peru, we’re a bit more used to warmer weather and I hate when it’s too cold. I’ve lived in the UK, and I know what it’s like to be too cold.”

BECOME A ROCKSTAR OR ASTRONAUT

“Astronaut. I’m already prepared for the rocket launch and the G-Forces.”

DISCOVER A NEW ISLAND OR FIND A NEW PLANET IN SPACE

“Discover a new planet for sure. Like the last question, if I’m being an astronaut, I’d rather fly to space and find a new planet.”

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

“Fork. Wait, no! I’m not sure… if I’m eating something with sauce, I want a spoon… oh my god, spoon! More versatile.”

READ PEOPLE’S MINDS OR KNOW EVERY LANGAUGE

“Know every language in the world. I don’t really want to know and invade people’s minds. If you know every language in the world, you could talk to anybody.”

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

“Dry tyres on a wet track. It’s way more fun. You get a bit more sideways but if you have wet tyres on a dry track, you just understeer off with no grip.”

TRAIN FOR 100-METRE SPRINT OR MARATHON

“I think probably a marathon. I want to do one at some point, so I’d say marathon. I think Mari does the most running in the paddock, but I could train for one.”

UNDERDRESSED OR OVERDRESSED

“Overdressed for sure. Got to be looking sharp no matter what.”
