Martinius Stenshorne: My Ultimate Driver

Martinius Stenshorne has been confirmed as one of the 30 drivers set to compete in the 2025 FIA Formula 3 season, with the Norwegian set to return for a second campaign with Hitech Pulse-Eight.
Before that gets underway though, we have a different test for him as we asked him to build his perfect racing driver.
INTELLIGENCE
“An intelligent driver? I’m not sure to be honest. Lewis Hamilton maybe, he’s quite intelligent. He has managed to win seven world titles, so for sure on his way to that he must be quite intelligent.”

DRIVING IN THE WET
“I would say Max Verstappen. He is really good in the wet, he is really good in every condition if we are being honest but in the wet, he always stands out.”
CORNERING
“Well, Verstappen as well. Actually, let me change my answer I think I will go with Charles Leclerc.”
QUALIFYING
“It would have to be Leclerc again, he is always very special over one lap.”

TYRE MANAGEMENT
“Verstappen is really good with his tyres. But actually, it’s probably Hamilton, he always finds a way to make the tyres last when it doesn’t look like he would be able to.”
BRAVERY/RISK TAKING
“It has to be Verstappen because he is always aggressive. We saw it a lot more when he was younger, it was cool to watch on TV.”
SMOOTH OR AGGRESSIVE
“I always prefer smooth but I have to be honest I don’t know who springs to mind. I don’t know about this one, a lot of drivers are smooth.”

OVERTAKING
“I think for this one I would go with Verstappen again.”
ANYTHING ELSE?
“There are probably others but not ones that I can think off right now, so let’s stick with this list.”
