Did I hear/read somewhere that Mclaren were going to give him a ride in one of their cars too. He's a Formula 1 fan.

Also, many of the English cricket squad have thanked him as he's keen on cricket. He should be given free entry to all grounds and competitions when they open up again.

Good evening,

He has been a mclaren fan for years aparently. The young English driver they have now gave him an invite to go up and have a tour of the works at Woking. Whether or not that includes a ride I don't know. Not sure whether they have a two seater or not.
