Nobody was sitting with him, so we just went over and asked if we could join him. We ended up spending most of the afternoon with him and his son. It was truly unforgettable, and especially so when we started talking about COTA and what the various drivers were doing in the F1 practice sessions

I met son Paul when he was at Duke in the mid-Eighties. Sir Jackie came and gave a lecture at the school about exceptional performance.

Wonderful man and family. Thanks for sharing!

She got pictures with Sebastian Vettel and David Coulthard while we were walking around. We passed Brad Pitt, who was wearing a very ugly bucket hat, but she was too shy and starstruck to ask for a picture with him lol. Sir Jackie told us that Pitt is about to begin filming a movie related to F1, and he is at COTA for research.

What an incredible privilege to spend so much time with Sir Jackie; a true legend of Motorsports. An unforgettable moment of time. Congrats!

It was definitely a rare privilege. And as an added bonus, he is hilarious!

Very nice, I just can't picture JS sitting alone at an F1 weekend! He was the first driver I followed, and I've enjoyed reading his books.
