1. How will you be spending Christmas this year?
“I will be spending it at home with my family”

"Traditional turkey dinner followed by Christmas pudding and lots of custard!”
4. What is your favourite thing about Christmas ?
“That’s an easy one for me - spending time with family.”

“I can't remember… clearly memorable!”
6. If you could spend Christmas with two other WEC drivers, who would they be and why (you're not allowed to pick your teammates!)
“Tom Kristensen (because he might like to share one of his 9 Le Mans winning watches with me…? ) and Yannick Dalmas- so that I can spend time trying to convince him to call me Anthony, instead of David!”
7. You get a new car as a surprise Christmas gift.…. What is it?
“My championship winning TS040”
8. Will you have any New Year's Resolutions?
