Okay, one British Formula Three, and I actually then had to do, well, I went straight into F3 from that point of view, but I only was able to do that through the backing of, I actually got a couple opportunities to go to two different junior teams, and I ended up picking Williams, but this only came through the Mercedes simulator role, so... i'd go down there drive there i lived it was ages to i lived in cheshire at the time so it's a long drive down but i used to look forward to going and driving there and one day i was just really really cheeky um and i just managed to get james viles's number through one of the simulator engineers guys which um actually funnily enough now poor engineer and so

Just going to go for it.
