NL: O f all the drivers, James was the one I was best able to communicate with because I knew him from when we raced against each other in F3 - before Fl. So, I had a good relationship with him. I liked the way he lived his life.MH: He was like you; a bit o f a rebel. Is it true that, when you were fighting for the title at Watkins Glen, you actually had hotel rooms that happened to have an adjoining door and on race morning you marched in, fully kitted out in overalls and helmet, into his room, gave a salute and said: “Today I vill vin ze championship!’’ and then marched back out?NL: [Laughing] I cannot remember that exactly but it’s possible because we were always doing things like that and making jokes about each other and him being bloody British.
