So happy to have find back this picture. Quite a few years ago, in Paul Ricard, I was testing on the karting track, Michael was testing on the F1 track. We met him, he signed our overalls, talked to us for a little bit before going back inside the pits. I never thought I would be driving for the same team he was driving for back then. @scuderiaferrari ❤️
