Thank you so much.
And what a lovely intro.
Well done.
I wrote letters to actually all teams.
I wasn't even being picky or selective.
There was 11 teams back then.
I wrote 11 letters.
I was at university.
I was studying mathematics and computer science.
It was the 90s.
It was sensible subjects to be doing because the world would need those.
But I couldn't see myself behind a desk
for eight, 10 hours a day.
It just didn't feel like me.
I loved Formula One.
I watched it on TV.
That was my connection to it.
I loved the fact that this human machine melding with a team behind the scenes and that everyone's pushing themselves further than they ever thought before, surrounded by peers doing the same.
And so I wanted to be a part of that world and wrote letters because that's what you did back in the 90s.
Two of those really provided me some helpful guidance.
