Given that today is arguably the most important day in the Christian calendar, we asked AT&T Williams driver Nico Rosberg when he last went to church. “Until recently,” he said, “I’d never been to church. It’s never been a part of my life. But I went to church with a good friend of mine, who’s a very devout Christian, and it was an interesting experience... everyone was holding their hands in the air and singing Hallelujah.”

â€œIn this heat, it’s really important to keep hydrated,” says Nico Rosberg’s physio, Oli Fengler. We took him literally: AT&T Williams took 2,400 bottles of Highland Spring to Sepang. When those were gone, we bought 1,000 more; when those were gone, we bought 1,000 more. In total, team personnel drank 4,500 bottles of water over the GP weekend – an average of 75 bottles per person!

We’ve enjoyed our time in the Far East, but now it’s time to go home. And there was no stopping the AT&T Williams marketing team. Today’s race ended at 4.30pm local time, and by 6.30pm they were in the air en route to Singapore. It’s snowing at home, guys; what’s the hurry?
