did Sutil mention his race last weekend? He must still be pretty disappointed. What were they doing together?

 

Which is you & which is Lewis?

 

Very very cool! You can tell Hamilton is a chill guy from that top gear episode.

 

Thanks for all of the kind and fun comments guys. This was a good day for me and my boy.

I know you didn't mean anything by it. But I'm not in denail about my little weight problem. I have actually lost about 45 pounds since January - beleive it or not, I used to be even bigger!

My son is 13-years old and is 5'9" - tall for his age but not a giant. He was taller than Lewis and he kept mentioning that to me on the way home. My son was shorter than Sutil but probably outweighed him by 10 pounds.

These guys obviously have to be a bit like jockeys when it comes to size and weight.

Oh yeah. Lewis is the guy to my right. Others have commented that we have quite a resemblance. An easy way to tell us apart is that a Formula 1 driver must actually be able to fit in the car in order to participate. That should help.


I am not sure why they were travelling together. They seemed like pals though. At one point I could have sworn they were conversing in German with Lewis rattling on fluently. I could be mistaken but it wouldn't suprise me if Lewis does know several languages - at least well enough to chat with his F1 pals.

Sutil did talk to me about the race in Monte Carlo. He was still very emotional about it. But in the end, he said that he didn't blame Kimi and that it just wasn't their day. He was very positive and assured me that their day would come very soon. He had a great attitude about it.

I was every bit as impressed with Sutil as I was with Lewis. It was great meeting them both!

For those curious about what my B55S looks like:



Not everyone's cup of tea. But I love it and it is blazingly fast. Lewis enjoyed going over all the mods with me (it has about 20 Brabus mods including the B55S engine performance kit) and was featured in two magazine articles (Coast and Best Life). Lewis seemed genuinely interested and impressed with the work.

Thanks for everyone's kind comments. Yesterday will remain in my good memories for a long time.

 

lewis and adrian are close friends, they were teammates in F3. lewis tried to get mclaren to sign him instead of heikki btw.

 

Your B55S looks killer. Very cool that they were down to earth a lot of drivers are real asses.

 

Killer weekend. What a treat for both you and your son. Awesome.

 

That's really cool! Did Lewis or Adrian mention what they were doing in Cali? I suppose just relaxing a bit before the Canadian GP?

 

Yes. I think they were just relaxing in the LA area. Lewis noted that he had been having a lot of fun and loved the weather. They left from our meeting and went directly to LAX to catch a private flight to Montreal.

 

Honestly, what are meeting two guys who can drive a silly looking car fast when you can show us pics of that GORGEOUS red B55S. I'm not a MB fan, but it's pretty damn cool. I wouldn't mind seeing some more pictures.
