Martinius Stenshorne Takes on the 'Would You Rather' Challenge in F3

In an engaging segment of the popular 'Would You Rather' challenge, Martinius Stenshorne, a promising talent from Hitech TGR in the FIA Formula 3 Championship, shared his unique preferences and insights on a variety of topics, showcasing his personality beyond the racetrack. The interview, conducted on June 17, 2025, provided a glimpse into the mind of the Norwegian driver, who is known for his competitive spirit and strategic thinking.

Stenshorne, who has already claimed two podium finishes including a notable win at the Monaco Sprint race in 2025, was posed with a series of dilemmas that tested his decision-making in a light-hearted context. When asked whether he would prefer to be a singer or an actor, Stenshorne humorously admitted, "None of them to be honest! I don’t really like that kind of stuff, but I’d go with singer I guess." This candidness is emblematic of his down-to-earth personality, contrasting with the high-octane world of racing.

The challenge also touched on his aspirations and values as a driver. When presented with the option of winning his home race or the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix multiple times, Stenshorne chose Monaco, stating, "There’s no home race for me, but even if there was, I think Monaco is unmatched. We don’t really have any tracks, and I don’t think there would be any unless it was a street race in Oslo."

Stenshorne's choices reflect his competitive nature and passion for racing. He expressed a preference for winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans over the Indy 500, highlighting a fondness for sports cars rather than oval racing. This preference aligns with his performance and development trajectory in Formula 3, where endurance and strategy are crucial.

In a thought-provoking moment, Stenshorne was asked whether he would rather win from pole position or from the last spot on the grid. He opted for starting from the back, stating, "You’ve done an insane race if it happens and it’s more fun to start last than start first. I would take that every race, but it’s more fun from the back of the grid." This perspective underscores the thrill and unpredictability that he embraces in his racing career.

The segment also delved into more whimsical choices, such as whether he would prefer a karaoke session or a dance-off. Stenshorne admitted a preference for karaoke, but humorously added, "I’d never do either of them but if I have to pick, I’d go with karaoke. But I’m not doing it!" This lightheartedness adds a relatable layer to his persona, making him more approachable to fans.

Stenshorne's insights extended beyond racing to personal preferences, revealing his interests in television series over fashion or movies, as he expressed a fondness for shows like 'Prison Break' and 'Breaking Bad.' When confronted with the choice of being an astronaut or a rockstar, he leaned towards the former, humorously noting, "I have an orange suit already, but I’ll stay on Earth."

As the FIA Formula 3 Championship progresses, Stenshorne's performance and personality will undoubtedly continue to capture the attention of fans and analysts alike. With a keen focus on his racing career and personal growth, he embodies the spirit of a modern athlete navigating the complexities of competition and identity in the highly competitive world of motorsport. The insights shared in this challenge not only entertain but also provide a deeper understanding of the man behind the helmet, making him a notable figure to watch in the coming seasons.
