Lewis Hamilton is usually pretty self-absorbed on the grid before a race, saving any interaction for his team and engineers.
But when megastar Mariah Carey came to visit the Mercedes driver on the Baku grid on Sunday, he extracted himself from his 'zone' and graciously offered her and her son a few moments and a snapshot.
Sky F1's Martin Brundle wasn't as lucky unfortunately. Spotting the sparkling diva during his grid walk he boldly enquired: "Mariah, may I have a word for Sky TV?"
"No, no, no," shot back a member of Carey's entourage, leaving poor Martin hanging.
