Teaming up with fellow enthusiast Aaron Mozes (pictured with Hamilton), general manager of Pearle Vision Broomfield in Colorado, we literally ate breakfast just a table over from Hamilton at the Mercedes Paddock Club dining room. Other VIP treats included an intensely detailed pit area tour, constant monitoring of all racing and race prep activities, and even being on hand as Hamilton checked the computer stats while still in his F1 racecar after pulling in to the pit garage.
ECP Mozes’ meet-and-greet was an event highlight as were the resounding number of fans eager to buy Hamilton shades. Note as well that he constantly wore his signature shields every day at all events. Can we get on line for dibs to next year’s race?!
