What are your favorite hobbies outside of racing?

What are your favorite hobbies outside of racing?

I have a couple; racing is obviously my favorite hobby though. Other than racing, I really like drumming, as some people have seen. I do that a lot – it’s one of my favorite things to do when I come home from school. I also play basketball. I like to play video games, but I mostly play racing games. (Laughs) I also like to make other kinds of music on my computer. But I really don’t have many other significant hobbies – just racing and other stuff.
