F1 drivers and their brief cases

Post

Hi,

This might be a stupid question, but it really intrigues me! Everytime I was pictures of a GP on Thursday the drivers are walking in the paddock with a brief case. What is inside that?? Most of them are too small to put a race costume or clothes for after the race or practice or so in it.

Only Fernando Alonso doesn't have a brief case but a little trolley (little suitcase on wheels) and Tonio Liuzzi has a shoulder bag.

I'm really curious...I would really like to know what they carry inside :oops:

hmm interesting question...

I'm not sure but in case of Schumacher it could be some blocks of gold for ballast :D Anyway that guy has a very oldfashioned leather briefcase, I don't like it.

All in all I have no clue at all what may be in there :s cellphone maybe or something like it?

A cellphone and wallet alone don't take that much space and Fisico's suit case of today was really full! I really don't know what could be in there! I want to know!!!! :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: (female curiousity)

Maybe it simply the strict necessary for hygien concerns: teethbrush, soap, shampoo, perfume...

Ok it sounds stupid because that sort of things are probably carried along with their clothes. :oops:

Or it contains their identity cards, passeport, super license etc, since most of times they wear sport or light clothes with no room for wallet. As Jason likes to say, who knows :?:

EDIT: Damn I just figured it out! It contains reports on others team's technologies stolen last race from spying :P

Probably the weekends timetable....practices, briefings, interviews....etc!

Probably some data from the track and car setup.

Probably a few autographed pics...they always work when you get held up by police!

A pen...wallet...cell phone...a book/magazine...Monstrobolaxa's cell contact (always important)!

No as I said here before he has a litlle trolly (that's bigger than a brief case :P )

I really would like to ask that to the drivers once, as I don't think that other reporters or so have done it....I'm really fascinated by it

:oops:

The stuff inside the briefcase is obivous..... Boobie Tassles !!!
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

Perhaps it are their beautyproducts :P But than Tonio Liuzzi's shoulder bag should be a lot bigger since he's so vain! :P

Could be a merchandising arrangement? they make them wear stupid ugly caps at any opportunity, why not make them carry a designer briefcase, even if it is empty?
Strange that Alonso has a wheelie suitcase, but that definatly fits him better than one he would have to carry, still I thought he would be more of a man-bag kind of guy. :wink:
