My friend is working on getting us access to the garages in the days before the F1 race in Texas this November. I give him a 50-50 chance of success. I'm excited to see (and hear) the machinery up close. But what am I going to say if I meet a driver? More importantly, would I even be able to pick Max Chilton or Giedo van der Garde out of a line-up?
Let's start with Mercedes, an easy one.
To Nico Rosberg: Dude, you're my favorite driver on the grid! Congrats on Monaco!
To Lewis Hamilton: It's great to see you thriving at Mercedes!
What would you say to them?
You could also ask them both the following and then compare responses:
ReplyDelete"At what point did you feel that your soul was 100% a corporatized commodity? Was it gradual or did you feel it happening all at once?"
Haha I'd expect a blank stare, maybe even a "pfff" in response. Still Jim, I double doggy dare you!
Your readers would LOVE a picture of their facial expression when you ask it.
@Peter: I don't want to get kicked out, man! I want to stay for the race on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteOnly safe, watered down questions and congratulatory comments for the drivers.
Now that's going to be tough when I see Vettel.
