I was tasked with doing stage interviews with Max Verstappen, and I'd obviously seen a lot of Drive to Survive and how he was sort of portrayed—the things they caught on camera, the way he spoke to journalists, and the way he kind of interacted. So, I was so nervous to be speaking—to have to interview him and to be speaking to him—because I thought, you know, is he going to be that kind of short and almost aggressive as it seems he is?

He was one of the most professional, nicest guy—super welcoming. He just got the job done, and that, I think, will stay with me. That has continued through my career of speaking to Max Verstappen as well. He is the most professional in an interview, even when, you know, he hasn't had that many tough times in recent races. But he's super professional—really kind, warm, nice, friendly guy.
