“I can never say enough nice things about Sebboth as a human being and as a pilot” Buscombe explained. “I could never have imagined, ten years after meeting him and with him already retired, saying positive things about him because in 2012 I was at Ferrari and we hated that man“.
“He and his finger were the worst thing. But we were very excited that he was joining Ferrari. He was just too good, the rival par excellence”.
“I didn’t know he would become my friend and one of the most important people in my life. She gave me great life advice as well as packing extra snacks for plane rides, which is what you want from a human being. But yes, it was really special.”
