He took a sabbatical from the A1 GP to complete his university studies. Adam was asked by one of the students on why he took up such a dangerous sport and not anything else, and he said: “I do agree it is a dangerous sport. But when I’m doing it and knowing that you are good at it, gives me great satisfaction. More than the fast driving, the fact that I’m good at it keeps me going at it. Just being good at something drives me forward.” Adam said that one had to have talent and also needed to work hard to make it big in the world of motorsport. “You need talent and need to work hard at it. You need a base of qualities and from there, you work hard and build on it. There are so many categories in racing and you work hard to climb up each category. You need to keep working at it,” said Adam, who has also raced in the British Formula 3, German Formula 3, Spanish Formula 3, the GP2 Asia series, the Formula Renault V8 Eurocup and the Euroseries 3000. Adam looks up to Formula One legend the late Ayrton Senna and seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher. “I had heard a lot about Ayrton Senna but I did not see him because I was a kid. But he was one of the greatest drivers. I do look up to Michael Schumacher. I was lucky enough to meet him once and he came across as a humble person and a great sporting champion,” said the 24-year-old from Bridlington, Yorkshire, England.
