Goodbye racing, hello life!

The last races of the season are now over. Austin was awesome and I spent way too much money on cowboy boots, clothes and peanut butter m&ms! Americans are so enthusiastic, even about things like f1 which they don't really know anything about. I packed to go away with summer clothes and it ended up being freezing there! An excuse to buy more jumpers :)
Then onto Brazil where we should have got a 1-2 but these things happen. I hope Lewis does well with his new team.

Brazil was my last race in F1. I am now back to being factory based from next year and am looking forward to getting my life back. I can now get back into photography and see my friends and spend time with people when I want to.

It's been an experience. Being the only girl amongst 40 guys was tough at times but you get used to it and I've learnt a lot about men! And I thought girls were bad!!!!
The last 2 years has been a huge roller coaster. I started the job blindly and 2 years later have gained a lot of experience as well as visited countries I never would have had the chance to go to. I've met a few great people and a few, not so great... But overall it's been interesting!
I'm glad I finally had the opportunity to do what I wanted to do and experienced the madness of racing.

I'm totally shattered now, physically and mentally... And am going to Burma for 3 weeks for Xmas to chill ou and explore. I cannot wait.
The new year brings new beginnings and I'm going to find new challenges. Who knows what 2013 brings...
