iWitness in Monza: Thursday
Posted on Friday 11 Sep 2009 and tagged with iwitness, monza.
Nico Rosberg drove to Italy early so that he could play in a football match last night at the Stadio Briamasco in Monza. He was playing in the midfield for the Nazionale Piloti and he didn’t score a goal (the second game in a row, Nico!), but the team won.
Nico Rosberg had a busy day of promotions today, the most interesting of which was for the organisers of the Singapore GP. They are running a TV promotion prior to the Marina Bay race in which a group of free runners dressed as F1 drivers climb over Singapore’s most famous landmarks and at the end of the advert they take their helmets off to reveal the sport’s most famous drivers. Nico, who is not a renowned free runner, filmed the end of the advert in the AT&T Williams pit garage this afternoon.
Both AT&T Williams drivers attended the Gonzalo Rodriguez Memorial Foundation dinner this evening at the Monza Sporting Club. They both signed a painting of former F3000 driver Rodriguez, painted by Bill Patterson, which will then be auctioned to raise money for the foundation.
This being the last European race of the season, many of the new teams on the 2010 grid are out in force at Monza. Representatives from Manor, Campos and US F1 are all here, trying to sort out their line-ups. Was that John Booth from Manor that we saw in deep conversation with AT&T Williams CEO Adam Parr?
