This.
I've met my share of F1 drivers and they are pretty nice off the track for the most part. The coolest I've met is David Coulthard. Talk about a party animal and regular guy. Nico Rosberg isn't as fun. I'll just leave it there. Oh...Norbert Haug...he will grab the mike, hit the turntable and drive the party to a new level.
My best memories were meeting Niki Lauda and secondarily Ross Brawn.
