Recalling one such moment when he wanted to meet, H-Town Hottie, Megan Thee Stallion, he said, “Last year, Megan Thee Stallion came to the Circuit of The Americas (COTA) race, so that was cool. She had huge bodyguards next to her so I didn’t say hi! I don’t listen to her music that much but I hear it about the place – most of the songs are TikTok trends!”

When asked about his favorite karaoke song, he admitted to not being a fan and that he gets a bit shy. However, he made some revelations about McLaren driver Daniel Ricciardo’s singing skills. He said, “Daniel Ricciardo likes a good jam, though I wouldn’t say his singing… well, it’s Daniel”.
