@SophUKYis stikk haven’t found the picture so I’ll tell the anecdote an try to find it for another time. It’s like around 2012 I was at the Castellet with my grandad for an event. Alain Prost was there, Romain Grosjean too. Lot of people… we went to the press room to talk with a woman that work for the racetrack and when we went back outside there was a lot of people and we got close. It was Romain Grosjean that was signing autographs etc. My grandad pushed me under the stanchion and when a security guard came to us he showed a card from the Prost club membership and talked our way out. Then he said “Romain I’m a friend of Alain Prost can you take a pic with my grandson” everyone was looking at us like aliens cause Romain didn’t take any pictures with fans except me
It used to be cheaper before the Americans took over the FIA, well my grandad was going to the France one for free cause he always talked his way in lmao
