Jolyon takes to Twitter to answer fan questions.

Jolyon took to Twitter this morning to answer questions from his fans ahead of this weekend's GP2 action at Spa. Read on to see a selection of the Hungary winner's answers!

Q: Which is your objective of this year?

Jolyon : It was to win the championship, but now it's to win as many races as I can.

Q: Who is your biggest idol from F1 history?

Jolyon: James Hunt. I cannot wait to see Rush - He's a legend.

Q: Are you superstitious?

Jolyon : No. :-)

Q: If you could add one more circuit to the GP2 Calendar, which one would it be?

Jolyon: Definitely Brands Hatch Grand Prix. It's the fastest track and you need the biggest balls :-)

Q: Do you feel you have achieved what you wanted so far this season?

Jolyon: No. It's been a fun season, but I hoped for a bit more. Hopefully I still can...

Q: How much did your dad influence your career? Is he giving you any pieces of advice?

Jolyon: Not so much anymore, but he was very helpful in my early stages.

Q: Your little brother Will is a driver too. Do you predict him a promising future? Hope he'll be as good as you are.

Jolyon: Of course! :-) He's very good because he's got the best coach: me...:-D

Q: Do you keep the same race engineers through different teams/series?

Jolyon: You can do, but I've had three different ones in GP2 and they're all very good.

Q: Can you win this weekend? If not what would a good result for you?

Jolyon: Of course, if not then second place would be a good result I guess :-)

Q: Hi Jolyon, which is your favourite track/turn of the championship?

Jolyon: Hi Alberto! Swimming pool in Monaco is a very good one!

Q: If you could have any superpower what would it be?

Jolyon: I would be able to fly... But actually, transportation would be a better one so that I could avoid all the flights!

Q: What kind of music do you like?

Jolyon: Sort of Indy/Easy listening/chilled music.

Q: How tall are you? What's your favourite food?

Jolyon: 6ft tall that's much taller than most of the other drivers. Gazpacho soup is my favourite food.

Q: Who would be your ideal F1 teammate?

Jolyon: Button or Webber would be the best ones. They seem like good guys.

Q: What do you think is your greatest strength?

Jolyon: I'd say it's overtaking. I've had quite few good ones this year!

Q: If you got an offer to race in F1, but the team is not too good. Are you going to accept?

Jolyon: I'd love to race in F1 and it would be tough to turn down any opportunity.

Full coverage of rounds 15 and 16 of the 2013 GP2 season at Spa-Francorchamps, including live timing, will be available on Jolyon's official website, while TV coverage of all sessions will be available on Sky F1's HD Channel.
