This color photo shows Steve in the pits talking to other drivers and mechanics. I think Steve felt more at home and comfortable with other drivers and mechanics than he did with his celebrity. Generally Steve was very reserved and just didn't want to be bothered by adoring fans. Another factor that might have contributed to his disposition was the fact that his left foot was in a cast and he was in constant pain and didn't want to have to stand around talking to the general public or posing for photos.
