Thanks

Yes, indeed, very interesting. You rarely get to hear the spouse's view of a racing driver. There are probably many fascinating yet untapped stories left to be discovered.

Thanks indeed.

I always thought she was a very impressive lady, and the interview proves it. Loved the bits about "the 84 year-old gentleman", and chauffeuring teenage son around the European circuits.

I just wish that the interview had been much longer (like a book!)

Thanks so much!

I was fortunate to get to know her a bit when Gilles was in the Atlantic series.

She's as special a person as he was.

A couple of pics of them..

Yep, Giulio Borsari.

Somewhere in the interview she's talking about her "youngest daughter". I understand she is not Melanie, isn't she?

[Tim Murray]

Jacques and Melanie have a younger half-sister, Jessica.
