Like the rest of the grid, Cian Shields has headed off on a much-needed summer break after a very busy opening 10 rounds of the 2025 season.
But before the AIX Racing driver jetted off on his holidays, we caught up with him and asked him some Would You Rather questions.
WOULD YOU RATHER BE A FAMOUS SINGER OR A FAMOUS ACTOR?
“A singer. I quite like the idea of going on a world tour, I think that would a quite cool and you don’t get to do that when you’re an actor.”

WIN YOUR HOME RACE ONCE OR MONACO GRAND PRIX THREE TIMES?
“I have a home race, so I suppose Monaco three times. But even if there was a race in Scotland, it would still be Monaco three times. “
WIN THE INDY 500 OR THE 24 HOURS OF LE MANS?
“Indy 500. I think I’d be more interested in that than sportscars, plus it’s a solo job, so maybe it’s a little bit more special.”
WIN FROM POLE OR WIN FROM LAST ON THE GRID?
“Last. Hundred percent. Makes it more fun.”
DRIVE IN A PERMANENT CIRCUIT OR A STREET TRACK?
“A permanent circuit. I really like Spa and Silverstone.”
KARAOKE OR DANCE OFF?
“Preferably none, but karaoke probably.”
WOULD YOU RATHER BE FRONT ROW AT FASHION WEEK OR AT THE OSCARS?
“Not really interested in either one of them but probably the Oscars. Not really sure why, but I will go with the Oscars.”

WOULD YOU RATHER WIN THE TITLE WITH NO WINS OR WIN MANY RACES BUT NOT WIN THE TITLE?
“I’d say with the title without any wins. Race wins are special, but I don’t think anything would be as good as winning the title.”
TOO HOT OR TOO COLD?
“Too cold. It’s quite obvious why.”
BE AN ASTRONAUT OR A ROCKSTAR?
“A rockstar. I wouldn’t want to go to space.”
FLY TO SPACE AND DISCOVER A NEW PLANET, OR GO IN A SUBMARINE AND DISCOVER A NEW UNDERWATER KINGDOM?
“Go in the submarine. I’m not interested in space or the sea to be honest, but an underwater kingdom would be quite cool.”
EAT WITH A SPOON OR A FORK FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?
“Spoon. You can eat anything with a spoon.”
COMMUNICATE TELEPATHICALLY OR KNOW EVERY SINGLE LANGUAGE ON THE PLANET?
“Speak every language in the world for sure. I only speak English, but I can order something to eat or ask for a table in most languages. That’s all I’ve had to do.”

DRIVE WITH WET TYRES IN THE DRY OR DRY TYRES IN THE WET?
“Dry tyres in the wet.”
TRAIN FOR A 100-METRE SPRINT OR A MARATHON?
“A marathon, I think.”
BE CHRONICALLY UNDER-DRESSED OR OVERDRESSED?
“Overdressed probably. “
