Dino Beganovic: I don’t need to name the most unfriendly one, but one of the nicest, I’d say- if you leave aside Bortoleto and Bearman, who I’m very close friends with, is Max. A lot of people don’t realize this because he’s a bit of a joker(?), and he doesn’t come across as super-friendly in the media, but he’s genuine off the track. I’ve done a lot of simulator driving with him, amongst other things, and it’s as if we’ve known each other for ages; he asks loads about Formula 2 and he asks an incredible amount about how things are going for me specifically, not that it’s about him, mind you- and I was actually visiting Gabriel in Monaco a few weeks ago and bumped into Max after I’d left my car in the car park. And it was him who came over, he was there with his little daughter, walking down the street, and he asked loads of questions and was just so, so kind; one of the most humble drivers, I’d say.
