WORDS OF WISDOM IN MONACO
invite you to restaurants etc . You have to be concentrated .
: The manager of the RoKit Venturi team is Susie Wolff , a woman . It ’ s quite unique …
Norman Nato ( FRA ), Venturi Racing , during the Pre-Season Testing at Valencia Circuit Ricardo Tormo on Monday , November 30 , 2020 in Valencia , Spain .
NN : I am used to it , because I was part of the team for 3 years and there are a lot of women working for our team ; I can say it ’ s good to have a mix . Women bring something different and I think it ’ s good to have women and men . Our team it ’ s like a family team for me .
: Do you need to be in special physical condition to compete ?
NN : Yes for sure . Being a driver it ’ s not only about driving a car . You need to be prepared mentally , but also physically . My engineer asks me to keep my weight constant during the season , otherwise it ’ s too complicated to change a lot of things . During the off season you have your physical trainer .
: How do you feel about the new generation of drivers ?
NN : Now in Formula 1 drivers are coming into it really , really young . Max Verstappen was 17 when he started to compete in F1 . It shows that he was ready to fight for a world title even being so young . So it ’ s not a question of age , it ’ s a question of if you are ready for it or not .
