Although it is a compliment I develop and believe in my own identity. I am respectful, dedicated, a team player, focused, patient, persistent, grateful, humble, competitive, disciplined, calculated, confident and pragmatic. My Formula for success is rooted in my name – Stuart. I push the boundaries for the team and myself. I believe in making the team stronger because then, I become stronger. Without the team I am nothing. F:S represents my identity, purpose and vision. Every trophy is a weekend and more than 130 of them bears witness to the fact. I adjust my expectations according to my achievements and allow disappointments to school me in patience, persistence and determination. I know that every weekend is not a trophy. My future plans and vision – driving F1 or Indy Car but my ultimate north star is winning the Le Mans. I am dedicated and ready to invest in the team willing to invest in me. I see before the bend; I have my own formula for success. I understand sacrifice, I have experienced disappointments, I have tasted success. I know that success has a price which I am willing to pay. Wining or losing, it is all part of the career I call RACING.
