Could you ask him to do an AMA (Ask Me Anything) in this forums?

Would you rather have a hand made out of ham, or an armpit that can dispense suncream?

If you give every driver equal cars which drivers do you think would be (excerpt of yourself) on the podium?

Like Erik Comas, you won everything on your way up to F1. Do you see yourself achieving a similar level of success in F1?

So has the phone been ringing more since your Le Mans victory? Have you noticed more interest from other teams?

 

NH: (mumbles) “No.”

Do you work on making yourself a better driver off track and if so what do you do? Sims, reaction times, special exercises, study?

Yeah, I'd ask something along these lines. The general public isn't in tune to the physical and mental demands of driving a race car--F1, WEC, or otherwise. I'd have NH establish what these demands are like, and then have him explain how he approaches them.

 

Go get 'em, toolish!

Ask him if he thinks F1 is becoming a jockey sport and if the FIA needs to look into changing the rules for F1/feeder series so people of a reasonable build/height can get a chance at F1/lower level single seater racing.

"Nico, this weekend marks the 10th anniversary of the tarmac runoff at Pouhon. It's a disgrace, isn't it? When you raced at Spa in Formula BMW, in your first season in racing cars, the gravel trap was still there. This was in May 2005. You were lucky; a few weeks later, the gravel trap was gone. You miss that gravel trap, don't you? Would you sign a petition to have it restored? Please?"

Nico, could you please talk us through a normal race and explain when you are driving at the limit(i'd guess during Q, the first two race laps and just before/after the pit stops you are at 100%) and when(and at which % level compared to full attack mode) you have to be patient and look after the tyres and fuel consumption?
