This has been a really busy month. It started off with the filming of my Channel 4 Special with Andi Peters - I had great fun doing this but it was a rush as they had to transmit it less than a week after filming finished. Anyway it's on air again on Sunday 13th July so if you didn't catch it at the beginning of June watch out for the repeat. My favourite filmpiece however was for GMTV as it took place at the Jordan Garage. It's a shame really as you won't have got to see what a fantastic time we had at Jordan but we ended up spending virtually the whole day there and Eddie Jordan himself escorted me around and let me into a few of his secrets. Secretly, I was hoping that he'd take me on as his new driver as Damon Hill had announced his retirement the day before I got there but for some reason Eddie wasn't forthcoming with the invitation... odd that!!
Anyway, I also made a couple of trips to Germany and Italy during June and it was good to see some familiar faces amongst the European fans. I had a great time performing at Festival Bar in Italy but the moment was spoiled as The Sun newspaper decided to print a picture of me with The Cartoons with a really unfair and nasty caption. I wouldn't mind, but when the picture was taken with The Cartoons we were all mucking about and having a good laugh (you only have to look at my double chin in the picture to see what I mean!). Anyway, I asked the photographer to send me a copy of the pic and the next thing I know it's being reported that I threw a tantrum and didn't want anyone to see the picture. Cheeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrssssssss!!!!!!!!!
Anyhow, at least The Jordan Team had a successful time at The French Grand Prix and to put things in perspective, there are only two weeks to go until the British Grand Prix... remember Eddie I'm still available if you're one driver short !
