iWITNESS - US Thursday

15 June 07

The AT&T Williams marketing team are inviting the wrath of their boss this weekend. Outside Sir Frank Williams' office in the Indianapolis paddock they have attached the notice, 'Funtime Frankie's Playroom. Keep out or else...' Keep out is iWITNESS's advice. Could this be F1's last visit to the Brickyard? The circuit's F1 contract is up for renewal and there is no news of a new deal, which is a relief to some. 'It's important to have a race in America,' says Toyota driver Ralf Schumacher. 'But it would be better to have it somewhere else.' We teach 'em good manners at AT&T Williams. Former Williams F1 star Juan Pablo Montoya was the first person to telephone Phil Prew, Lewis Hamilton's race engineer, after the Briton won his first GP in Montreal last weekend. Pity, then, that no-one taught JPM how to be polite over the radio. Eh, Sam?
