Growing up in Noblesville, Indiana, almost in the shadow of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, 20-year old Conor Daly dreamed of following his father Derek, a veteran Formula One and CART driver, as a professional racer. With a win under his belt at the Indy Light race at Long Beach in 2011, Daly set off to Europe where he competes in GP3 for Lotus GP, and where he eyes an opportunity to compete at the pinnacle of motorsport, Formula One. Daly’s win at the sprint race in Barcelona earlier this year thrust him squarely into the spotlight and positioned him well in the Drivers’ Championship, where he currently sits in 5th place.
Daly and I recently traded off this quick Q & A
via email:
Question: You have been to victory circle once already
this season. Does it come as a relief or does it add pressure in the form of
increased expectations?
Conor
Daly:
I think it is a massive relief. I have proved I can win over here now and
the goal is to keep winning. It was so cool to have the American national anthem
playing at a Formula 1 weekend!
