Meeting the legendary Sir Jackie Stewart when he was in Perth, Western Australia last week. He is one of my heroes and his inspirational talk in front of a packed room gave me goosebumps. A very accomplished and humble man.
Not only did I sit 1m away from him at the business lunch he was hosting (pure luck that we booked the table next to the one he was sitting at, out of 58 tables of 10 people each), but he signed my copy of his autobiography, and this poster which I brought along hoping he would sign it... Which he did!
We spoke briefly and I asked him why he was wearing 2 Rolex watches.. it was so he could have one on European time and the other on Australian time!
