24 May
Summary
- Castroneves, a four-time Indy 500 winner, faces a new challenge: not speeding on roads.
- He credits his teenage daughter for encouraging him to drive more responsibly.
- The Brazilian driver also shared a unique piece of Brazilian trash talk related to sugar cane.
Helio Castroneves, a celebrated four-time Indy 500 winner, recently discussed his driving habits off the racetrack during an appearance on "Planet Tyrus." While accustomed to extreme speeds on the track, Castroneves revealed a past tendency for high-speed driving on public roads, often resulting in police stops.
However, Castroneves stated that he has become a more responsible driver, attributing this change to his now 16-year-old daughter. He humorously noted that he "has to behave myself" now, implying a significant shift in his road behavior.
During the interview, Castroneves also shared insights into his preferences when renting cars and recounted a unique piece of Brazilian trash talk. The phrase, "cana of," relates to sugar cane and implies being taken advantage of or losing.
Looking ahead, Castroneves is preparing for the upcoming Indy 500, where he aims to become the first driver to achieve five victories at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
