Met him as well, I must say I had a different experience. It was however when he was still at Williams.
Went to Budapest for the F1 weekend and saw him walking down the Main Street while drinking something with a buddy. Got up and approached him. He was super friendly and we had a talk for about 10 minutes after which his bodyguard took a picture of us together. I wished him all the best and a competitive car for the future.
I must say he was a champ on a human level that night. Maybe I caught him on a good day, maybe you caught him on a bad day, maybe he still hasn’t gotten over his rivalry with HAM and the stress that came with it.
Yeah might as well be all of the above. He doesn’t seem to be the down to earth nice guy I met in Budapest, whenever I see him on TV. Absolutely rooting for Danny and Yuki. Most of all I just want AT to improve to at least Aston Martin’s level…
