ON THE LADDER
Roberts / JEP
What is the biggest thing you have learned from the Academy?
How to prepare physically and mentally for race weekends and how to deal with disappointment from a mental perspective. The guidance the tutors have given me on the course has been second to none. The nutrition benefits and ideas have been really helpful for my journey, and the whole group of people I spent the two years with on the course made it enjoyable and fun. Everybody encouraged each other and helped build a good team ethic.
What is your biggest challenge?
I’ ve had a few podiums, a win, and a few fastest laps, so given this is my first year in the car, my pace has been extremely strong. I have shown I can be the quickest in the Championship, but I’ ve had a bit of bad luck, and the results haven’ t quite shown that – although I still fighting at the front end of the championship. It was tough finding the sponsorship for this year and the money didn’ t come through until the very start of the season, so I didn’ t get any preseason testing or time in the car before the season started. As a result, we had a lot of mechanical issues in the first couple of rounds that caused me not to finish or affected my performance. They car seem to be ironed out now, though, so hopefully I can have a strong second half of the season.
