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. I sat on Alain Prost's car. When he won the race the crowd were throwing flowers at him. I was standing next to him and started throwing the flowers back into the crowd. He laughed at me and also started throwing flowers. Thats right. Alain and I had a moment. Needless to say I was hooked on F1. Now I require binoculars to see into the pitlane. At the time I didn't appreciate it. Now I would cut my arms off for such access.
