You betcha Katherine!
I was at the Adelaide GP during his time with Benetton (I think it was 94). For reasons completely out of my hands, luck fell on me at that GP - and I ended up in the "Paddock" area. After a good look around, and a tour through the Ferrari pit (also meeting the wonderful Jean Alesi), I ended up sitting on the edge of an airport travel container, which was along the main walking path in the "paddock" and watching the buzz of activity going on around me. Schumi was walking along and, of course, me being a fan of his, I said hello! He gave me a huge smile and we had a small typical chat about Australia, the weather, the usual banter etc etc.
I found him polite and very friendly, and obviously not worried about giving a fan five minutes of his time to say hello - it made my year
I hope one day you get to meet him too!!
Cheers!
