Sam Bird
(Picture: Jaguar Formula E)I have been into cars as far back as I can remember. I used to watch Formula 1 on Eurosport and beg my mum and dad to take me go-karting – I’d actually slip letters under their bedroom door saying, ‘Please let me.’
For my eighth birthday they took me karting at Silverstone. I was too small to reach the pedal and had to use foam cushions, but the guy said my lines were good… he told my parents I wasn’t bad.
