Those were very kind words. He’s like a little brother to me, I’ve said that on many occasions, and I love him to bits, he cracks me up, I think he’s just a really good, genuine guy. And another thing I’ve said, which I don’t mind repeating, is that this is an environment where it’s very difficult to make friends, it’s a very superficial environment, a lot of people out for what they can get out of it if you like, and to make a real friend like Felipe, probably I would say my only true friend in Formula 1, it’s really special. Everybody talks about will I miss him, will I not miss him, I don’t really think about it to be honest. I think I’ll miss having him around on a Friday night, Saturday night when we can sit and have a bit of dinner together, talk about the wives and the kids and the ridiculous amount they’ve spent this week… but I don’t really think about it because he’s a mate, and I’ve got plenty of friends back home in Blighty who I don’t miss because I see them every couple of weeks or couple of months, so it’s a little bit like that.

He’s a great engineer, great professional, great friend, maybe even a brother, I would say – he will stay my friend, my brother, for my whole life I’m sure. And I think maybe he knows a lot from me than maybe a lot of other people! And it’s been really a big pleasure to work with him.
