Monaco Grand Prix 2013. Am feeling very lucky to meet Jaques Laffite again. He is a wonderful character, always joyful and fun to be with and a champion, winner of six Formula 1 Grand Prix.

His great buddy and my F1i partner at the time, Pierre Van Vliet is with me, picture here-above (and a guy we don’t know). The French racing legend is in good spirits (as always) in the impressive Red Bull facility, located in the Monaco harbour.

We talk about the good old days and I remind him of the 1979 season where he was partnered with Patrick Depailler. “Patrick was very fast in 1979 when we drove together at Ligier,… but I was even faster !” said Laffite with a huge smile. Fantastic Jacquot!
