Mary McGee spotted at Canadian Grand Prix

Ted Kravitz revealed more about McGee and the documentary after the Canadian Grand Prix, describing her as the ‘star of the day’.

“Let me tell you about some more details about what I'm sure you’ll agree with me, was the other star of the day apart from Max Verstappen and all the racing drivers, was Mary McGee, the racing driver on the grid who Martin spoke to,” Kravitz said on Sky Sports.

“Because, she’s 88 years old, she was a sports car racer, then a bike racer and Lewis Hamilton actually has produced a documentary about Mary’s story. It’s called ‘Motorcycle Mary’, Lewis is one of the executive producers.

“I think it’s on, it’s part of ESPN films so you can watch on there if you’re watching in the US and I will promise you for everyone not watching us in the US.
