iWITNESS - US Saturday

Posted on Sunday 17 Jun 2007 and tagged with iwitness.

AT&T Williams account managers Phil Kennard and Pia Jensen were featured in Saturday’s edition of paddock rag, The Red Bulletin. They starred in the 'How Did I Get Here' section and, in both cases, a love of the sea played a part. Phil is a keen sailor, while Pia enjoys diving with sharks. We assume she's not referring to the Williams marketing office... Will F1 return to Indianapolis in 2008? Brickyard boss Tony George is keen, but Bernie Ecclestone is less so. 'They haven't done anything to really get behind the race,' said the F1 supremo. 'We arrive in town, what do we get? We get banners saying the Indy 500. They haven't got behind it, full stop.' Don't book those '08 hotel rooms just yet. Think what you were doing aged 19… now think about Sebastian Vettel: the German is about to drive in his first GP. If that's not mature enough, he let slip that his favourite band is... The Beatles. Who said all German F1 drivers are Michael Schumacher clones? While the UK celebrates the knighthood of cricket legend Ian 'Beefy' Botham, AT&T Williams star Nico Rosberg has been less than impressed by the steak houses of Indianapolis. 'I've discovered their secret of a good steak,' he says. 'They pour lots and lots of butter onto it, which isn't good at all!'
