I read a reference today that the eternally modest Uri Geller acted as mentor to some F1 drivers...
Over the years, Geller has attended a few races and appears to be a fan. He has lunched with Bernie Ecclestone and Nigel Mansell attended the ceremony to renew the Gellers' marriage vows. And in 2008, "Formula One sensation Lewis Hamilton last night summoned the powers of spoon-bender Uri Geller and the spirit world in his bid to become world champion." (Daily Star, 19 Oct 2008)
The most popular Geller/F1 story describes bending a spanner whilst on a visit to the Tyrrell pits as a guest of Ricardo Rosset (presumably 1998 season).
Can anyone spill the beans on Uri's contributions to the sport?
