I hit the kerb, went into the bank and put the car on its side."On his all-time favourite F1 driver"Totally biased. Ayrton Senna by a mile. He was just an awesome character calm, very kind and warm."Sabine SchmitzOn the fastest she"s ever gone in a car"350kph in my friend"s Ferrari F12 on the German autobahn."On who"ll be the quickest around the Top Gear track"The fastest will be the one and only Stig!"On who in history she"d most like to have been driven by"By Mr Bean in his Mini Cooper, especially on the roof sitting on a sofa!

Top down, obvs."On who"ll be the quickest around the Top Gear track"Matt"s set the bar high, but he"s a target to be aimed at.

Don"t diss the 1.0-litre turbo. It"s all about downsizing these days."To read the full interviews, pick up a copy of the new Top Gear magazine, on sale Thursday 25 February 2016.
