Stupid Questions with Seth Hill

#194 – Oliver Askew, Formula E Race Car Driver — Speed, Stillness, and the Search for What’s Real


Listen Later

In this episode, I sit down with Oliver Askew — a former IndyCar and Formula E driver who’s lived at 200 mph and still somehow found peace in the slow moments. We talk about growing up homeschooled in Florida, chasing adrenaline through motorsport, and the lessons that come from burnout, belief, and beginning again.


Oliver opens up about the mental demands of racing without power steering, the pursuit of flow state, and what it’s like to carry both pressure and purpose inside the cockpit. He also shares how faith, friendship, and reflection have reshaped his definition of success beyond the track.


It’s a rare, honest look at what happens when the helmet comes off — a conversation about drive, discipline, and discovering who you are when the race ends.
