3 birds with one stone!

You see… I have this thing against Vodafone. So one of the pleasant surprises I found while building my Lego 1:8 model replica of the Ferrari F1 car (that was given to me by willow’s mum Michele), was that I could choose whether or not I wanted to add the sponsor stickers. Its good that the sponsors didn’t have a deal with Ferrari that branded all models and variations of their Formula One car.

On monday Ferrari revealed their Ferrari F2007, and it’s a beauty. But it wasn’t until McLaren revealed their McLaren MP4-22 the day after, that I realised that Vodafone is no longer sponsoring Ferrari!

This is like the perfect angry management. I will now be able to aim most of my anger in the same direction. The team (McLaren), the sponsor (Vodafone) and the driver (Alonso) have gathered under the same roof. Wonderful. Like killing three birds with one stone.

See what a beautiful smile that brings to my face!! I will post a photo of my Lego 1:8 model replica of the Ferrari F1 car when it’s finished (done 3/5th), in the mean time, you can have a look at some of the photos on Willow’s flickr

Englishman Lewis Hamilton…

…will drive for McLaren in Formula One next season.

quite surprisingly:

The 21-year-old, who is the current GP2 champion, will be the first black driver to race in Formula One.

But… I would have listed to Scotsman David Coulthard advice:

“I would advise him not to rush in, because if it doesn’t quite work out then his could be a very short career.”
