Young driver Theo Pourchaire has revealed that Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel are his racing heroes. The 17-year-old French driver is seen by many as one of the most exciting drivers around after he first won the F4 Championship. Speaking to official F3 site,he said: “I really like Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton. “For me, it is impossible to choose just one of them. I watched Vettel at Red Bull when I was growing up a lot, and now Hamilton is winning everything, so he is one of my idols as well. “They both have different personalities, which is why I like both of them." “I have a lot of racing memories, but my first? I think that was the Monaco Grand Prix in 2006,” he added. “I went with my father and I remember it well. I was at the first corner and I remember watching Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso, who were the superstars of 2006. “I was only three or four years old! I was really young, but I remember it, I remember the noise of the cars and everything. I enjoyed it a lot and that’s one of the reasons why I love this sport. “It’s because of my father first and foremost, he put me in a go-kart for the first time, but we watched lots of racing together, like Rally and Formula 1. I have good memories.” source -  planetf1.com
