It was the year 2001 in Australia's Albert Park.
I, Gerald Smith, was ready to test drive for Minardi F1 team to possibly replace Nigel Gervall who refused to retire from Formula 1.
The english driver had been driving in Formula 1 for 20 years and he had driven for Lotus, Benetton and now he was with Minardi.
Nigel had been with Minardi for a few years and he wanted to have one last ride with them before he retired.
The 40-year-old driver didn't want to retire and stop driving for Minardi but he did want to do something good for his last year on the tracks.
He wanted to give a young driver a chance to get into Formula 1 and learn how it all worked.
Nigel didn't mind being the second driver and having a reverse driver help him out.
I was more than happy to be his reverse driver as I had looked up to him since I was a young boy.
I used to watch him on TV all the time when I wasn't racing when I was younger.
I watched him race for all of the teams he used to drive for and I used to pretend I was him when I was racing, even though I used to drive go-carts.
