Another night, another party aboard the Stad Amsterdam for the AT&T Williams crew. Tonight they were entertaining the media and were taken aback when a whopping 125 hacks turned up to drink the ship dry and dance the night away to our band, Joanna And The Sound System. Amazing what happens when you mention the words ‘free beer’ in the press room...

Former Williams F1 driver Mark Webber is a friend of the stars. Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick and Kate Hudson, of “You Me and Dupree’ movie fame, are two of his guests this weekend. iWitness knows which of the two he’d rather have to dinner...
