What happens when you pull together all of the press officers in the pitlane and take them to Fogo de Chao for dinner with the BBC and Pirelli? Yup, you got it: a massive party! There were sore heads all round this morning after a top night of dinner and drinking. Nice karaoke, Alex Schieren! And Martin Brundle did particularly well to make a coherent speech after drinking four caipirinhas…
AT&T Williams is proud of its family values, so we were delighted to welcome Rubens’ children into the paddock today. Eduardo and Fernando both looked fabulous in their AT&T Williams t-shirts and they got to sit in their dad’s FW33. A lot of buttons were pressed, so we’d better double-check the settings before tomorrow’s final practice session!
Rubens and Pastor both introduced new helmet designs today. Rubens is using the colours of his hero Ayrton Senna, bringing the number of drivers using those famous yellow, green and black stripes to three. Lewis Hamilton and Ayrton’s nephew Bruno are the others using the iconic design on what is the 20th anniversary of Ayrton’s third and final world title success.
Great to see former Williams river Nelson Piquet at Interlagos today. He looked in fine fettle – and so he should! He’s going to demonstrate his title-winning 1981 Brabham-Ford on Sunday morning and then wave the chequered flag at the end of the race. Let’s hope he does a better job of waving the flag than Pélé, who completely missed race winner Michael
