a very sweet article about k-mag written by matt bishop ❤️
my favourite things from the article:
despite never having met matt's mother, kevin wept when he heard that she had died of cancer
k-mag bought fifty copies of matt's book to help with sales and donate the proceeds to the charity made by matt
kevin drove 300 km (almost 200 miles) in the middle of the night to pick up matt
i really love the ending as well ❤️
"kevin magnussen is a dear friend, as i say, and he is also a good person. he is a loving husband and father. he is a very experienced f1 driver, he is extremely fit, and his battle scars have made him not only wiser but also shrewder than he used to be; yet he is still only in his very early 30s. he is almost as embedded at haas as max verstappen is at red bull. more’s the pity, perhaps. he could still win grands prix, and even f1 world championships, if the right opportunity were to knock. but, sadly, it almost certainly will not."
this story matt bishop shared this week about lewis calling him after his mom passed away reminded me so much of james allison’s story about lewis’ reaction when his wife passed away…
