Well I have been in the pitlane during a race. It was the 1986 Adelaide Grand Prix. I was thirteen years old and a lucky guest in the Clipsal box. The rear stairs led straight into the McLaren garage. I entered many times at free will. Nobody ever spoke to me, I think they all assumed I was the offspring of somebody important.

At the time I didn't appreciate it. Now I would cut my arms off for such access.
