When not on her film sets, Sonam is either on the ramp or the Formula One race track!
I was shooting for Delli 6 all this while and I am happy now that the film is over, I can take a breather. My trip to the Singapore Grand Prix was extremely impromptu. As far as walking the ramp at ICW is concerned I enjoyed the experience. I was just myself. I am enjoying my break free time.

But how come you were seen on the Formula One circuit all of a sudden?
(Smiles) I love fast cars and hot guys! I have been a Formula One fan since Michael Schumacher times. Even after his retirement I like Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa. I am a huge fan of these drivers and when I got to know that Singapore is hosting the first night race of F1 I decided to be there. Besides I love the Singaporean food. I have lived in Singapore for two years and love Chicken Rice and Chilly Sauce there. I was also told that Imraan and I will get an opportunity to drive a vintage car there which we were not allowed to later on. But I had my friends there too so all of us had a great time.

How was it having Imraan for company?
He knows all about the aerodynamics of the car etc. He can even be a good automobile engineer! He was busy focussing on the technical aspects of the car while I was busy looking at their sexy drivers (laughs)! I met Shilpa Shetty there too and the atmosphere was just electric on the track.

So which F1 driver was smitten by your beauty?
I am sure they thought I was just another pretty girl.

Are you passionate about something other than f1?
I love to play Burn out Revenge on my X-Box. I like speed. I’ve also always wanted to go backpacking all across India. I can meet so many different people. I believe your perspective towards life widens when you travel. I want to do something for my country.

What is next on the cards?
Since I am starting to promote Delli 6 in December I am going to visit dad in London for four days as he is shooting for 'Slumdog Millionaire' there. I am also planning to launch my own website soon where I will write blogs etc. I will also announce my forthcoming films when the right time comes.
