Dumb questions

“David what happened? Was there no way you could continue in the race?” No way to continue?” Yes, these are the type of dumb questions drivers sometimes face from the TV crews when they retire. DC was actually this after today’s short, very short race and somehow kept his cool long enough to reply politely, “No the car is on the track.”

Watch out Bernie!

A fortnight ago we brought you a story about our press officer Katie Tweedle and her exploit of running the London Marathon and now it seems she is making a bid to move up in the world. Like all Stewards Reports, the one concerning the qualifying incident when Christian Klien was held up by Takuma Sato was supposed to be signed by the team manager, so the world was somewhat surprised to see the Tweedle squiggle at the bottom of the page. How long before Christian Horner has to move over to make way for the fast-tracking Katie and will she be Bernie Ecclestone’s successor in running the sport? Watch this space.

It’s parliamentary question time in our Energy Station, as the mechanics are planning to go on strike if they don’t get their HP sauce back. HP, named after the Houses of Parliament is a very English acquired taste which is particularly popular at breakfast time. Now it seems the crazy non-Brit caterers are trying to ban it from the Energy Station. Across the hallway in the very Italian Toro Rosso side of the building, no one really cares as nothing but fresh tomato sauce will do for the lads’ pasta.
