Zsolt is a supernice guy: I thought he's gonna sign some autographs, get some pictures taken and then leave. But no! He stayed with us and chatted with us for almost an hour! (In Hungarian, of course.) Despite his successful race, he remained very modest. He also had no trouble switching from Hungarian to English or to German during our chat (he speaks 4 languages besides Hungarian). He kept giving autographs and kept smiling for pictures for everybody who asked him for one. He remembered exactly where he saw Hungarian flags waving on the grandstands and he thanked us for our cheering and support. He shook hands with each and every one of us there. He is just one really nice, down-to-earth guy - a rarity amongst F1 drivers. It was a thrill to get to know him better. I am really, really proud that Hungary is represented in the F1 by such a great person! He may be driving for the worst team out there, but he is one of only 20 people who can claim to drive a car in the most elite class of racing and that's quite an accomplishment by itself.
