Hi Everyone,

Just thought I'd put a little message out about the up coming FOTA Fan Forum on 30th June at *cover your eyes* the McLaren Technology Centre *uncover your eyes*

Did anyone else apply for tickets? and was anyone else lucky enough to be invited?

If so see you there!

Not sure how well a Ferrari T Shirt & cap will go down... :)

I have a feeling yours wont be the only one :ferrarifl:pass

Congratz bro :-D
Its a FOTA forum, not a McLaren forum, I'm sure they can't kick you out:-G

Please let them know that their green ideas are lame and boring and we want more powerful engine.

Have fun mate! Please just make sure you turn up in FULL Ferrari gear, head to toe! ;-)

And just let them know we hate all this talk of the green crap and just bring back the monstrous V12s! :-)

Sad to say I was the only one wearing red today...

none the less it was a great day, met Ferrari Press Officer and guru Luca Colajanni. Very very nice man, Scuderia through and through.

I'll get some photos online soon!

Loved the bit where the Red Bull guy says it's understandable to have guys standing at the back of the car then Paddy Lowe says they know exactly what's going on and he likes to send him a picture of their floor after the race!!

Lmao at Kobayashi too! "Kamui, Was Senna important to you" "No"

Here's the video from youtube:

p.s. not sure if it's just me, but this kid is disrespectful both to "Michael" and Eddie Jordan!
You'd think they were his best friends and it was OK to "tease" them! :-!

Yes I got that feeling, also he was fiddling about with his water all the way through, yet he disappeared so quickly I don't think he had any of it in the end!

I don't know, I found the bit about Eddie Jordan quite funny and true to the character.

Or... maybe, Rhianna was waiting for him and he didn't want Nicole to know?:lol

I don't know, I found the bit about Eddie Jordan quite funny and true to the character.
Possibly... I think my blood began to boil when he made it seem like passing Schumi (or Michael as he called him) to be no big deal,
so I may have taken the Eddie comment overly serioiusly!! It's just that he acts like he's best buddies with everyone when it seems
that he believes he's better than everyone else. That kind of arrogance makes "innocent" and "cute" comments seem offensive.

Apologies if I'm being overly critical... but...

He meant passing MS with the DRS was no big deal as it was too easy with the system, nothing about MS really.

I've been sent this picture which is pretty cool :) It's with Luca and his counterpart at McLaren, Matt Bishop - he used to be the Editor at F1 Racing Magazine and Autosport...
