Continuing on preferences, he adds on Tutomotoriweb : " my favorite circuit is Phillip Island. It's a fantastic place to run, surrounded by nature, ocean and it's a fast track ". But if we talk about food, then this is another country that stands out: “ I would say that Italy is a good place to eat ". An interesting assessment from a man raised on French cuisine. Or not ?
