"Lovely. I mean, to be driving Niki’s old car, his championship-winning car, it's so special, it really is. I knew Niki quite well. So to be in here sitting in the same seat and just trying to think what he must have been experiencing and how he's prepared himself before the start and everything, really special," he told the Goodwood Festival of Speed livestream.
The 65-year-old man from Stratford-upon-Avon decided to leave Red Bull Racing. Several stories have circulated about the new destination. For instance, the Briton is said to have already held talks with Aston Martin, and he is said to be interested in Ferrari. A final choice has still not been made.
