How would he fare if we pitted him against Max Verstappen today?
I do think sometimes that you can have a bit of a nostalgia for the all-time greats, but
The world moves forward and new records are being set all the time and the professionalism keeps improving.
Sometimes to the detriment of the sport, I think there's a lot of professional drivers who are not only just very good at driving, but are very good at being corporate spokespeople.
And it used to be quite different.
There used to be more characters in racing that had a bit more personality that they were allowed to shine because there weren't a billion sponsorships on the line that they were afraid to lose.
ridiculous question what's the greatest car ever made or maybe uh what's the funnest one to drive the greatest car for me of all time is the pagani sonda okay i'm looking this up so the pagani sonda was made by this wonderful argentinian called horacio pagani my god that's a beautiful car well it's a gorgeous car you can look up mine it's the pagani sonda hh
Yeah.
So that's a car I had made in 2010 after we visited the factory in Modena and by sheer accident ended up with this car.
But it became my favorite car in the world, basically, when I watched an episode of Top Gear, I think in 2005 or
where one of the presenters was driving the Pagani Sonda F around, and I just thought, that's the most beautiful car in the world.
It is the most incredibly sounding car in the world.
If I one day have the option, this is what I want.
And then I had the option in 2010.
I've had the car ever since.
I'm never, ever going to sell it.
It's truly a masterpiece that stood the test of time.
There's some great cars from history that are recognized as being great in their time.
This car is still great.
Have you taken it on the racetrack?
