The end of the year is coming and a time to reflect for a lot of us. On a personal level it’s been the worst year possible for me, but one weekend brought some light in all the darkness I’ve felt (and feel).
After supporting Lewis before this man even made it into F1 I finally had the honor to meet him in Zandvoort this year. While they always say you shouldn’t meet your idols, because they can only disappoint, that doesn’t go for him. Lewis truly was so sweet, nice and patient with me. Asking me questions and taking his time for me.
The following day I met him again (short this time), but Angela was about to drive away and (even if it might be in my mind/head) the moment I said: please Lewis? He signaled and she stopped and he took his time for us to take pics and sign some stuff (a small and patient group not the one below).
I thought the highlight of the weekend would have been getting posted on his Insta and Twitter, but just hours later I was finally face to face with him.
I wish I could have told him how much his Instastories motivated me this horrible year and how he pushed me to do even the smallest things. How proud I am to have seen him as a junior and now as a 7-time world champion. And even more: of all that he does besides this sport. But I’m glad I was able to meet him as the most humble idol ever ♥️.
