I think he seems a fantastic person and he's also a fan, just like us.

He may not yet know how to fill the void, but he will use his intelligence, humility and curiosity to do so with aplomb.

All the best to you, Seb.
Wonderfully written!

Has he always had zeal for the sport's history? I don't remember hearing that before. Also was surprised to hear he had purchased an ex-Mansell Williams*, and he is a 'Red 5 fan.' Also, videos of him doing demos in old Aston GP cars floating around.

There certainly seemed to be something different about him recently. The hair. The plunging into bringing more light to social problems.

He does seem like an interesting guy and that he will enjoy life.

* I do realize that owning an ex-Mansell Williams-Renault has an investment component along with the collector/fan behavior.
