When I started karting in 2005, Anthoine Hubert was the guy. “O.K., it looks like it was Hubert and Correa who were involved in the crash. As our debrief began, I tried to focus on gear ratios, braking points and strategy, but my mind couldn’t process any of the information. So, I asked our team manager to let me know as soon as he heard who’d been involved. In my heart, though, I could feel something was deeply wrong - my body just knew. I remember thinking that, you know, maybe somebody had just been seriously hurt and would be out for the rest of the year.
It was really difficult to tell who had been involved in the crash, and Jenny and I had to head to the debrief before any word came down.Īs we were walking, I saw the red flag waving on the circuit to signal the end of the race. If something goes wrong at that speed, it goes very wrong. There were car parts all over, and I knew that on that part of the track, those cars would have been going over 250 kmh. On the second lap, as soon as the camera cut to a mess of debris, it was clear there had just been a big wreck at the top of Eau Rouge. We were standing below a TV, necks craned up at it, watching the cars fly off the line. So that day, as Jenny and I were walking back to the garage, I asked her if we could wait a few minutes to watch the first couple of laps of the F2 race. And I always make sure to keep an eye on one of my best friends, Anthoine Hubert. I always try to make time to watch the start of the Formula 2 races on Saturdays. That day, right after quali, I had an appearance with some fans, and then I had about five minutes to get back to the Toro Rosso garage for our team debrief. assistant, makes sure I get to everything on time. On race weekends my schedule is packed - each minute is accounted for, so Jenny, my p.r. Spa was my favorite circuit in the world to drive. It was the Saturday of the Belgian Grand Prix. But for you to know me, to really understand who I am, we have to talk about the day my life changed forever - the day my old life ended, and a new one began. There are a lot of things I’ve wanted to say for a long time. There is what you’ve heard, what you’ve read - what you think you know.Īnd I promise: In this story, I will tell you the truth.
