At 18, this quiet, mild-mannered British racing driver has already spent a decade racing on four wheels, progressing from go-karts to Formula 3 cars. To make a success of his chosen sport, he\u2019s skipping A-Levels, a university degree and any sort of vocational training to focus on making it to the front of the grid. If he doesn\u2019t get there, he will have very little to fall back on.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Spacesuit-Media-Shivraj-Gohil-Callum-Ilott-August-2017-5D6_2489.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Spacesuit-Media-Shivraj-Gohil-Callum-Ilott-August-2017-5D6_2489.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s probably been my biggest sacrifice,\u201d says Ilott. At first, &#8216;sacrifice&#8217; might seem a strong word for someone who gets to blast around in fast cars every week. There\u2019s much more to it than that, however.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I got to doing my A-Levels, that was a deciding point for my family and I,\u201d he goes on. \u201cThat was the point where I was putting so much effort into my school work that it was affecting my racing. I missed my last year and I\u2019ll miss out on university.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a brave move. Fail to move up the ladder from F3 to F2 and eventually into F1 \u2013 Ilott\u2019s goal \u2013 and it could be a short-lived career, without any other qualifications to help transition to another.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Spacesuit-Media-Shivraj-Gohil-Callum-Ilott-August-2017-5D4_2407.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Spacesuit-Media-Shivraj-Gohil-Callum-Ilott-August-2017-5D4_2407.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>That\u2019s not the only sacrifice Ilott has already had to make in his quest to emulate his racing heroes by becoming an F1 driver. \u201cYou miss out socially but it\u2019s a choice you make,\u201d he says. There is so much time spent travelling to races, training in the gym, practicing on a simulator, getting enough rest and avoiding alcohol that it can become a pretty solitary experience. \u201cI\u2019m not out partying like other people my age would be and you\u2019re always busy \u2013 but the sacrifices really are quite little compared to what other athletes go through, even if they do seem like a big thing at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Spacesuit-Media-Shivraj-Gohil-Callum-Ilott-August-2017-5D4_2417.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Spacesuit-Media-Shivraj-Gohil-Callum-Ilott-August-2017-5D4_2417.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Whereas many 18-year-olds might have spent the summer worrying more about which festivals to attend and whether they\u2019ve made it into uni, Ilott\u2019s chosen path requires a far different mindset.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be a successful racing driver, the hard work is the thing that makes a difference,\u201d he says. \u201cYou reach a stage where almost everyone has a similar amount of talent and the difference that means you get to F1 or not is the hard work.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Spacesuit-Media-Shivraj-Gohil-Callum-Ilott-August-2017-5D4_2135.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Spacesuit-Media-Shivraj-Gohil-Callum-Ilott-August-2017-5D4_2135.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>That work involves mental preparation. In a sport which has become progressively more scientific in its approach, the demands placed upon the driver have changed dramatically over the past few decades. \u201cNow, you\u2019re aiming for perfection in a lap,\u201d explains Ilott. That\u2019s perfection measured against forensic data rather than any seat-of-the-pants sensation. \u201cYou\u2019re looking at thousandths of a second instead of the tenths they were looking at [in the past]. Now, you\u2019re programmed from such a young age to find the small differences. All young drivers are brought up to be the perfect driver.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Spacesuit-Media-Shivraj-Gohil-Callum-Ilott-August-2017-5D4_1574.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Spacesuit-Media-Shivraj-Gohil-Callum-Ilott-August-2017-5D4_1574.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Outside an intense programme of driving preparation, other skills are required. \u201cAway from driving, you\u2019ve also got to be the whole package,\u201d Ilott confirms. \u201cIn F1, it\u2019s not just about the driving. If you\u2019re open to sponsors, it makes you more attractive to teams. There\u2019s a large element of the media side of things too.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Spacesuit-Media-Shivraj-Gohil-Callum-Ilott-August-2017-5D4_1688.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Spacesuit-Media-Shivraj-Gohil-Callum-Ilott-August-2017-5D4_1688.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Racing drivers must be lightweight but have incredible strength and endurance. Reaching those goals is a challenge in itself. Ilott makes use of a Ninja Warrior-style climbing frame and a personal trainer to keep his strength up and his weight down, as well as a targeted nutrition programme. \u201cYou want to be as light as possible without sacrificing your health during the race,\u201d he says. \u201cIn F1, they reach 5 Gs through some corners \u2013 so your neck has to cope with five times the weight of your head normally, while dehydrated and at 40 degrees. You\u2019re pushing your body to the max. It\u2019s a different type of conditioning. You also need to eat the right foods to give you the right sort of energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Spacesuit-Media-Shivraj-Gohil-Callum-Ilott-August-2017-5D4_1892.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Spacesuit-Media-Shivraj-Gohil-Callum-Ilott-August-2017-5D4_1892.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Whereas the future may seem like a long way away to other youngsters, Ilott\u2019s focus is always on the next race, the next weekend and the next result. \u201cTo win, for me, is a necessity,\u201d he says. \u201cWhen you go into competition, you go in to win. But winning is not always about coming first. You set your goals and then you try to achieve those \u2013 and, if you do, that\u2019s a win. People say failure is part of success. It\u2019s about the small things and learning from those. If you come back from those, you come back stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yes, the career of a racing driver might seem fabulously glamorous at first glance \u2013 but the utter dedication, determination and sacrifices required from a very young age to get there are a sobering reminder that, really, nothing in life worth having comes easy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Spacesuit-Media-Shivraj-Gohil-Callum-Ilott-August-2017-5D4_2373.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Spacesuit-Media-Shivraj-Gohil-Callum-Ilott-August-2017-5D4_2373.jpg\" alt=\"Callum Ilott training\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you become the next Senna, Schumacher or Hamilton \u2013 and what happens if things don\u2019t turn out the way you\u2019ve planned?
