Yeah, No, Erm... Award for Most Ubiquitous Team Principal: Christian Horner

Shouldn't that award be known as a "Stefano"?

I'd throw in:

"Bruxism award for teeth-grinding in the face of endless questions about Multi-21 and knowing deep down that we all hate you for taking the Austrian Schilling and not being Stewart GP (or even Jaguar) anymore: C.Horner Esq."

 

[teabagyokel]

Shouldn't that award be known as a "Stefano"?

Not sure Stefano ever won it. It has been won for the previous three years by Martin "If I'm talking to the camera, I'm at least not talking to Ron" Whitmarsh. 2009 was Brawn and previous to that it was probably Briatore, who was large enough to get into shot even when not interviewed.

Its not me its the car (but we all know its actually me) award: Its goes to Mark Webber's starts!

Bourdais award,

I forget, was that Fuji 2008?

 

[teabagyokel]

Yep, when he was penalised because Felipe Massa ran into him.

 

[downforce]

That was insane!
