We're ready for Canada Gp and we have an exclusive interview for our blog with Jennifer Becks, Adrian Sutil's girlfriend. Thank you to Jenny for her kindness, "Behind every great man is a great woman" and Adrian and Jenny are the best example. Enjoy the reading!
Where and when did you meet Adrian? It was love at first sight?
We met about 7 1/2 years ago. He asked for my number and soon after that we were together. Then he started into his first year of F1. After about one year we broke up because time was rare (with him travelling around the world and me working and studying). But we always stayed close friends and tried to see each other as often as possible. After about three years apart we got back together as a couple..And this is where we are now.
You almost always follow Adrian in his races. Did you like Formula One also before to meet your boyfriend?
I did watch a few F1 races before I met Adrian when Michael Schumacher was so successful. Since Adrian started his career in F1 I haven't missed one single race of course.

You've traveled a lot and you've visited a lot of cities. But what is a city that you left in your heart? And a city that you want to visit one day?
There are many places / countries I have not seen yet, for example Iceland, Norway, Scotland or Alaska, which are on top of my list. I am very much into nature and the beautiful scenery of our planet. Therefor I am always trying to see untouched places. Canada is definitely one of my favourite countries, the nature and wildlife over there are amazing. Regarding cities or more typical holiday destinations I would love to visit Rome and the Maldives because I have never been there.
If you could choose, which is the best thing about being the girlfriend of a Formula One's driver? And the worst thing?
To be honest, I don't see any differences between our or any other relationship. Maybe we spend more time together than some other couples because we are mixing up our private and business lives but beside that we are having the same fun and "problems" than anybody else. Of course it's nice to travel so much together but it is also exhausting and usually very stressful as we always live in a hurry between catching flights, races and the normal life - but of course you still get to see interesting places and meet interesting people. One thing which is not nice from a girls point of view is probably the missing time in the mornings. When I get up at around 6:30 I usually have about 30 minutes to get ready until we are leaving the hotel.
When you have free time what do you like to do? Do you have any hobbies?
I like dancing and Pilates. When I am at home I try to do it as often as possible. Also inline skating, hiking in Switzerland and photography are things I enjoy a lot. My heart beats for animals. So I am trying to spend as much of my free time with animals.
Did you meet nice people among the wives / girlfriends of Formula One's drivers?
There are some lovely girlfriends and wives of other drivers, like Chloe, Gaby, Jessica, Vivian or Natalie Pinkham (BBC). They are wonderful women who I always enjoy talking to if I get the chance.
How was your life before you meet Adrian?
Well, I always traveled much - but not as much as in these days of course. Beside that I studied, worked and spent a lot of time together with my sister who I am missing a lot when I'm away.
Finally, what do you hope to yourself, to Adrian and to your couple for the future?
Of course I want Adrian to show his talent in the sport. I want to see him on the podium and winning races. Also I am looking forward to our lives after F1. I would like to live on a farm in a middle of nowhere with animals, surrounded by a beautiful countryside. But until that happens, a few more exiting years in F1 are more than welcome to come.

Siamo pronti per il Gran Premio del Canada e, per questa occasione, abbiamo per voi un'intervista esclusiva con Jennifer Becks, la fidanzata di Adrian Sutil. Ringraziamo Jenny per la sua gentilezza, "Dietro un grande uomo c'è sempre una grande donna" e la coppia formata da Adrian e Jenny ne è l'esempio. Buona lettura!
Dove e quando hai incontrato Adrian? E'stato amore a prima vista?
Ci siamo incontrati circa 7 anni e mezzo fa. Lui ha chiesto il mio numero e dopo poco tempo ci siamo messi insieme. Poi ha iniziato il suo primo anno in Formula Uno. Dopo un anno ci siamo lasciati perchè il tempo per stare insieme era davvero poco (lui viaggiava per il mondo ed io mi dividevo tra il lavoro e gli studi). Ma siamo rimasti ottimi amici e cercavamo di vederci ogni volta che era possibile. Dopo tre anni separati siamo tornati a formare una coppia ed è quello che siamo ancora adesso.
Segui praticamente sempre Adrian nelle sue gare. Ma seguivi la Formula Uno anche prima di incontrare il tuo fidanzato?
Prima di incontrare Adrian seguivo qualche gara di Formula Uno, quando Michael Schumacher dominava le corse. Da quando Adrian ha iniziato la sua carriera, ovviamente, non mi sono mai persa una gara.
Hai viaggiato molto ed hai visitato molte città. Ma se dovessi scegliere, quale città ti è rimasta nel cuore? E quale città vorresti visitare un giorno?
Ci sono molti luoghi / nazioni che non ho ancora visto, ad esempio l'Islanda, la Norvegia, la Scozia oppure l'Alaska che sono al primo posto nella mia lista. Mi piace molto la natura ed i bellissimi paesaggi del nostro pianeta. Perciò cerco sempre di visitare posti intatti, pieni di natura. Il Canada è sicuramente una delle mie nazioni preferite con la sua flora e la sua fauna. Per quanto riguarda le città o le più tradizionali mete per una vacanza mi piacerebbe molto visitare Roma e le Maldive perchè non ci sono mai stata.
Se dovessi scegliere, un pregio ed un difetto nell'essere la fidanzata di un pilota di Formula Uno?
Ad essere sincera, non vedo molte differenze tra la nostra coppia e le altre. Forse noi passiamo più tempo insieme rispetto ad altre coppie perchè uniamo il nostro privato con la vita lavorativa, ma oltre a questo abbiamo gli stessi divertimenti e gli stessi "problemi" di chiunque altro. Naturalmente è bello viaggiare così tanto insieme, ma è anche estenuante e solitamente molto stressante perchè viviamo nella costante fretta tra prendere un volo, le gare e la vita normale. Ma comunque hai la possibilità di visitare posti nuovi ed incontrare persone interessanti. Una cosa che non rappresenta il massimo per noi ragazze è probabilmente il poco tempo a disposizione la mattina. Quando mi sveglio alle 6:30 ho solo trenta minuti per essere pronta prima di lasciare l'hotel.
Quando hai del tempo libero cosa ti piace fare? Hai qualche hobby?
Mi piace molto ballare e fare Pilates quindi quando sono a casa cerco di dedicarmi a questo il più possibile. Ma mi diverto molto anche a pattinare, a fare delle escursioni in Svizzera e a fare fotografie. Il mio cuore batte per gli animali. Per cui cerco di passare gran parte del mio tempo libero con loro.
Hai incontrato persone simpatiche tra le mogli / fidanzate dei piloti di Formula Uno?
Ci sono alcune fidanzate e mogli di altri piloti molto carine, come Chloe, Gaby, Jessica, Vivian o Natalie Pinkham (della BBC). Sono delle donne straordinarie con cui ho sempre il piacere di parlare quando ne ho la possibilità.
Com'era la tua vita prima di incontrare Adrian?
Beh ho sempre viaggiato molto, anche se non così tanto come in questi anni naturalmente. Inoltre ho studiato, lavorato e passato molto tempo insieme a mia sorella che mi manca tantissimo quando sono lontana da casa.
Per finire, un augurio per te, per Adrian e per la vostra coppia per il futuro?
Naturalmente voglio che Adrian possa dimostrare a tutti il suo talento nello sport. Voglio vederlo vincere le gare e salire sul podio. Ma non vedo l'ora della nostra vita dopo la Formula Uno. Mi piacerebbe vivere in una fattoria nel mezzo del nulla con gli animali, circondati da una bellissima campagna. Però prima che questo succeda, altri anni positivi in Formula Uno sono più che benvenuti.
