hey, christian was a little boy back in 1997.....now he looks a little more troubled.. his parents are part of cart, though. his mum organises the rio race (there's a pic of her and carl haas discussing....i swear she has a brick in her handbag and is ready to use it if he doesn't giver her boy a contract), and his dad, erm......well, he's wilson, isn't he? i'm sure he has something to do with the sport. then there's uncle emmo.. who is supposed to be a vey nice person. someone we know used to be a mechanic for emmo in his sportscar days (or something like that), and as he says (good old dave) emmo's just a friend. as is dan gurney (who went up to him at goodwood, gave him a big hug and uttered some very naughty words at him...). he also knows christian vaguely (on the way to the leavers ball, he was talking about goodwood, and seeing his old friends again, and emmo, and i mentioned i fancied the pants off his nephew. 'christian?' dave asked, and looked knowingly into the distace.....), but it amuses me to think of somone like that socialising with someone like dave.....(he's butt ugly, has decaying teeth (hence his nickname among the family of 'tombstone dave'), but is a very interesting and wonderful person to talk to. he's returned a lion to the wild, he's been a mechanic, and now he works repairing classic cars and running the practical side of a car storage firm.....
anyway, where was i? gil speaks french. of course, he was born in paris..... christian speaks near fluent italian because of minardi, i think... out of curiosity, do you know how gil came to end up in paris? it seems a very odd place for a brazilian to be born... mind you, it makes for an international understanding beyond that of a normal person...
