Two new F1 drivers this weekend.

Brian,
Jack is a Pom but he has an Aussie twang and a few Aussie idioms to his speech. Do you or anyone know how/where he picked that up?
tia,
Haven't found anything definite, but I remembered that he has a brother
named Max, so a search for that name also brought up some mentions of
the F1 Paddock Club, and Sam Power Racing Ltd.
I can't access LinkedIn, but the brief text summary from the search
list says, "Max Aitken Formula 1 Expert Host and History Student London, United Kingdom 235 connections. Join to Connect. Sam Power Racing

Given his name it's no surprise Jack is half Scottish (mother from South Korea). He attended Westminster School, which is an expensive
establishment, so a rich family. As a test/reserve driver he would have probably been in Oz back in March.
