iWitness in Istanbul: Sunday
Posted on Monday 08 Jun 2009 and tagged with iwitness, turkey, istanbul.
Today’s Turkish Grand Prix was Nico Rosberg’s 60 race in Formula One. He made his debut for AT&T Williams at Bahrain in 2006 and he hasn’t missed a race since. “Seems like a long time,” he says. “But it’s a pretty cool record to have! Here’s to the next 60.”
Another milestone being celebrated at AT&T Williams today was the 40th birthday of Nico’s number one mechanic, Toby Brown. Many happy returns, Toby, and remember: life begins at 40!
The British Grand Prix might be the next race on the calendar, but the guys who look after AT&T Williams’ motorhome won’t be going home. Between the Spanish Grand Prix at the beginning of May and the Hungarian Grand Prix at the end of July, they get only one day at home – which they’ve already had. Glamorous job this F1 lark, isn’t it?
Talking of motorhomes, Red Bull’s Energy Station is already at Le Mans for next weekend’s 24-Hour race. As a result, their two F1 teams have had to make-do with the company’s truck racing Energy Station in Turkey. There are no big differences between them, except that the walkways are a lot wider for the truckers. What does that tell us?
