Leighton Aspell: Andrew is a great friend and his record speaks for itself

Andrew has been a great friend for many years. We use the same valet, Phil Taylor, and Andrew has been number one for years while I've been number two.

You always sit next to the same Andrew. Whether it's a good day or bad, even when he's driven 500 miles and ran two laps of the track to do a light weight on a rank outsider. He gives everything every time – he's always the same.

He's great for advice and we had good banter about the ground conditions and that sort of thing. We ran the track a lot to keep our weight down, and we'd talk about where the best ground was and where to avoid. We would always say: 'Hey, me and you know that but don't tell the others. Let them find out for themselves'.
