Seb offered me a lift on a private plane he had organised and we flew together from Delhi to Dubai. There were stories circulating in the media at the time about how we weren’t getting on, I was refusing to help Seb with the championship and so on, so the press would have got a big shock if they had seen us travelling together. It was just Seb, his girlfriend Hanna Prater and me. We chatted about personal stuff we’d never had the opportunity to in our working environment, like our love of dogs, how private he is and how he doesn’t much like the limelight. I always enjoyed Hanna’s company too. She had her feet firmly on the ground and was great for Seb. She was fiercely loyal to him, a quality I admired in her.
