When are the first pics of Alonso in red hitting the press?Joe Saward wrote: Today was a slow news day because I set off at long before dawn to fly to Italy and then get up to the ski resort of Madonna di Campiglio for the annual F1 and MotoGP Press Ski Meeting. The aim of the week is to meet the riders and drivers and other team members and to do it is a relaxed atmosphere. A lot of the journalists will be skiing as well. I am just going to be hammering away at the computer. Skiing is all very well but I have no desire to break a leg or a head as if I do that earning a living will be a great deal harder… I arrived this afternoon and was happily sitting in the media centre typing away when Giancarlo Fisichella came wandering in. A little while later there was Fernando Alonso all decked out in Ferrari gear.
The event is a great one which also allows the F1 journalists to meet their counterparts in the MotoGP world, a rare opportunity to hear some different views. Tomorrow is a bike day so there is a conference with Nicky Hayden and Casey Stoner…
