Question: You must choose a city for a new Formula One street circuit - which city, anywhere in the world, do you choose and why?
Lewis Hamilton: Oh, it would have to be London or Las Vegas. I think Vegas would be more fun. It would be a great weekend for everyone.
Question: What innovations would you like to see in the future?
Lewis Hamilton: I miss the V12 (engines) and the old V10. I would like to have bigger tyres and more gadgets on the car so that it’s like a James Bond car: you press a button and oil comes out the back - that would be really cool. And it would help!
Question: You can only drive at one circuit for the rest of your life - which circuit, past or present from anywhere in the world, do you choose?
Lewis Hamilton: I would chose the Nordschleife. It would be amazing. That 20-something kilometre track would keep you learning all the time. It would never be boring, guaranteed. I drive it every year including this year. It is an unbelievable experience.
Question: You have to design a new F1 circuit, combining all your favourite corners from other tracks around the world. Which three corners are top of your list and why?
Lewis Hamilton: I would have Eau Rouge from Spa-Francorchamps, Mirabeau from Monaco and Bridge from Silverstone. It would make a very interesting track.
Question: If you could pick two Formula One greats of the past (from different eras) to watch race against each other, whom would you pick?
Lewis Hamilton: Juan Manuel Fangio racing against Ayrton Senna. The two greatest drivers of all time - and me looking to see who really was the best.
Question: If you were a team boss, which current driver would you pick first for your team (excluding yourself and your current team mate)?
Lewis Hamilton: I guess I would pick Nico Rosberg. You have to consider the whole package that comes with a driver. Harmony in the team, consistency and all that. As a team principal you have to think about every aspect.
Question: You are given the chance to drive any legendary Formula One car of the past. Which car would you choose?
Lewis Hamilton: The (McLaren) MP4-4. That is my favourite car. I have driven it already, so I know what I am talking about. That was an awesome car.
