One of the most intelligent drivers in F1 history in and out of the car, and also one of the nicest. He always maximized his strengths and fiercely competed against extremely talented drivers. I really admire Jenson, thanks for the interview.

[@TheUntitled100]

Regarding the 2000 German GP, Jenson actually came in for wets a lap earlier than the majority of the field and it was at exactly the right moment as the rain had just started to downpour at the stadium, which makes his 4th place even more noteworthy on more used wets.

Love Jenson, what a really likeable guy. Glad to see he's still involved in F1 and hope he sticks around in one way or another for a long time to come. His dad was just the nicest guy as well, you can see where Jenson gets it from. I still miss seeing his dad around, but I'm just so happy his dad lived to see Jenson become world champion. He seemed to be one of the most popular people in the paddock, papa smurf almost seemed like murray in that he was friends with everyone.

@@BlueflagAlpha your opinion is probably coming only from Suzuka. But watch the whole season. He challenged his teammate with an inferior car and was still in position to win the title with one race to go. Even if he didn't win at Suzuka, he would've won the title at Adelaide. The odds were in his favour.

[@bhaskaranthenkurissi870]

What a beautiful interview. I remember seeing an interview of Jenson at Top Gear. From a raw young teen to an elder statesman with oodles of experience he has come around a long way. In Jeremy's words, british world champion, a really fast racing driver and an all round nice guy. A small feedback, the questions are a bit repetitive and Tom Clarkson should look at a little more probing where some spicy stuff comes out. Most of the things discussed are what we as fans know in some form. It would be really nice to know more from a drivers perspective.

I couldn't have wasted my time any better than by listening to Jenson's light-hearted recollection a of an enviable career. I would be genuinely interested to hear why he has so little interest in Indycar, I thought it could be a very interesting challenge.
