The AT&T Williams race team says goodbye to seven people today. Paul Singlehurst, Nick Matthews, Jez Cave, Eddie Corr, Gareth Crowther, Aaron Bowler and Nigel Hope will all be doing different jobs next season. Some will leave the team altogether; some will take factory-based jobs and some will switch to our exciting Jaguar C-X75 project. Thanks to each and every one of you for your hard work this year!
Nigel Hope, one of our truckies, had a surreal experience this morning when pop goddesses Macy Gray and Jessie J accosted him! They wanted to see his tattoos and he was only too delighted to oblige, although he says he only showed them the ones that were easily accessible!
Ronaldo, three times FIFA Player of the Year, really loves Formula One. After putting in an appearance at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix two weeks ago, he was back in the AT&T Williams garage at Interlagos this afternoon with his friend Rubens Barrichello. Judging by the looks on their faces, Rubens’ kids Eduardo and Fernando were suitably impressed!
The 2011 season might be over, but Pastor and Rubens aren’t rushing anywhere. Both of our drivers are staying in Brazil this week, prior to taking part in Felipe Massa’s charity karting event at Florianopolis next weekend. Rubens is a veteran of the karting extravaganza, but it will be Pastor’s first time. Still a few days to get in some practice, Pastor!
Members of Sky TV were out in force at Interlagos today and we were delighted to welcome them into the garage and show them around. They have big plans for F1 in the UK next season, as demonstrated by the full-page newspaper adverts planned for tomorrow’s newspapers!
Thank you for following iWitness this season. See you again in the New Year!
