In the previous volume I have launched the Q&A and have selected few questions.
Q : Where is your favorite circuit? Of course my favorite is Suzuka, even though
I haven't run so often I had good results, and also I enjoy it because it is in Japan.
My second favorite is Spa Francorchamps in Belgium. Their characteristics are the numerous high-speed corners.
Q : Do you ride bicycle ? Sometimes I ride bicycle as part of my training.
When I was in middle school I use to ride so I totally can.
Q : Which circuit corner you enjoy the most?
Well this is related to what I said in the first question
but what I enjoy the most isthe S-corner in Suzuki
and also the Istanbul circuit
I think it was the 7-8-9-10 the high-speed corners that turn to the left side,
I really enjoyed that too.
Q : The stroll on your helmet...?
There are two things you can see on a helmet:a stroll or a wiring.
In my case I rarely drink
so I don't have a stroll thus it must be the wire.
Q : What do you like the most after F1?
I have a wide range of interests so I can be easily into everything.
I am the kind of person who tries everything so if you give me any idea
I would love to take up the challenge.
Q : In the future I would like to work as an engineer within a F1 top team like Mr. Komatsu (Lotus F1 team engineer)...
This is a serious one !
Well Mr. Komatsu is not the only one, actually there are quite a lot of Japanese engineers in F1 team.
Most of them are in Japanese team doing mechanics or engineering,
and in the meantime they are learning racing vocabulary in order to go abroad
and become either mechanicians or engineers.
But most of Japanese people willing to become one of them would first gain experience inJapan.
Q : Which country's cuisine do you like the most?
I would say Spanish food without doubt.
Everythingis tasty
but meat dishes are generally very good.
I usually don't eat fish,
I eat meat most of the time.
If you like meat, I would totally recommend!
There are a lot of charcoal grilling for example.
Q : Do you think the time difference between each team is caused by the engine or the aerodynamics ?
To be honest, as for now it is due to both engine and aerodynamics.
But I do think that 80% is caused by the engine.
However each team is not in a perfect situation so it will be interesting to see how we can race in Melbourne
and how we will manage to reduce the time gap while developing the quality.
Q : Are you going to upload a live video on YouTube or on nikoniko douga?
It can be interesting to have a live channel
but as for now I chose to diffuse on YouTube
and develop it little by little
as I want to target people worldwide since F1 is an international sport
and I have fans all over the world as well.
I would like to invest and focus on Kamui TV on YouTube.
Q : How about Funeda manager as a Q&A assistant?
We will know each other top much and will be closer so no he better not ! (Laugh)
Q : Is the tiger logo on Kamui Tv related to Hanshin tigers(Japanese pro baseball team)?
Not at all. Simply because I am the year of tiger.
But I am considering removing it because it is true that it looks like the logo of Hanshin tigers.
Q : Is there any Caterham exclusive simulator?
Yes. In the future
I also would like to upload some video of the simulator.
Please bear with me as I am trying to take it from different angles in order to share with you.
Q : I heard that you smell good. What perfume do you use?
Indeed I use perfume and from several brands
so difficult to tell... I'm often at the airport so I buy very randomly.
Q : What's inside of your bottle ?
I often have mineral salt mixed with fruit juice to make it tasty.
50% of water with salt and fruit juice.
Q : Do you have any pre-racing superstition ?
Not at all.
Not interested in superstition so I just jump in the car and race.
Q : What do you do right before the race?
The most important thing is to avoid using your brain
so 20-30 minutes prior to the race I try to empty my mind,
close my eyes and calm down. Then I will do some warm up.
Then I will do some warm up.
Q : What is your dietary habits?
I am not taking any carbs, I mainly eat salad and meat, like chicken or beef.
Q : What is your food consciousness?
I'm not being conscious but I eat a lot of red meat.
We have come to the end of the first Q&A. For the English version, I will upload it when I will have more questions. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions on the YouTube comment box.
