He shares his thoughts about his Tequila Patron-ESM co-drivers, Brendan Hartley and Johannes van Overbeek, and how their driving styles compare, as well as confidence. Then we talk about race driver coaches, and specifically how to find the best one for you.

Oh, and we also talk about astronauts and how Michael communicated with them in space, as well as his incredibly varied background.
