autosport.com - the Daily Grapevine: F1: Fernandes accepts Branson's challenge

It made me smile thinking that billionaires can have a sense of normal humour and are prepared to challenge for something if racing about for last place!

I remember eddie jordan using bitten and hissess on the cars to get round the cig ad ban a bit.

But my favourite was when Williams entered the '93 season with SEGA and stuff Sonic on the cars. If you saw a side shot they made it look like the car had been cut through and you could see them driving. Each win got a skull and cross bones on the rear wing with the track name under it.


And so McLaren went one better, Each of their 5 wins that year, had a squashed hedgehog on the car......now where has that inter team rivarly gone?

I like simple little things. I hope they do more.

Life is to short to be serious all day.

or am I on the wrong planet?

I like it. I think a bit of personality and fun would do the sport a great deal of good, it is after all a sport and meant to be fun and enjoyable.

I like Branson's attitude. I know some people find him unpalatable and attention seeking, but I like the way he deals with people and does business.

It a breath of fresh air and welcome.
