Hello friendzzzz!!! It’s been a long, long time since we have last heard from each other. Too long, I’d say. But here I am again, ready to inform you about what you cannot read in press releases, official statements or hear in interviews.
The boys doing pit stop training
I had a really long and nice winter break in Southern Spain, although, this winter it was raining an awful lot down there. But I can tell you one thing: the monotonous noise of rain drops falling makes you have the sweetest dreams. I dreamt of race wins, pole positions, championship winning parties, etc. But then…aaargh…what was that? The unique noise of a wheel gun being placed on a wheel nut, the powerful movement of a mechanic’s hand pressing the gun and off goes the noise again…I guess my time off will be ending soon. The boys are already busy training pit stops at the workshop, everything seems to be ready and prepared. Oh, well. Time to get up, time to have the race weekends continue where my dreams just found a sudden end. Still a bit confused after my long rest, I fly my first laps around the workshop. Ah, there is Dede! Good to see him again. And also Greg, David, JB, Nono, Denis and all the other boys. Wow, it’s only now that I see the truck’s interior! Well done, boys, looks amazing and you were able to do all that work without waking me up…nice!
Thomas in charge of the pit stop training
I also see some new faces around…and have to admit…I like them! Danny, Seb and Nick, it seems like they have been with us for ages.
It makes me feel good seeing everyone busy working, preparing everything and … woohooo … what was that … another new face, and also a known one. The drivers!!! Dani is with the team again! I am very, very happy for him and if he continues with the results he got in Portimão, then he’s headed straight for another: podium!!! Here we come!!! The other one is a new face – Christian Vietoris. Hmmm, I have to say that the boy impressed during the test at Paul Ricard last year and I can’t wait to see him during the pre-season testing for the 2010 season.
Not much time left. I need to get ready, too! Get my wings set-up and polished, grab something to eat (or have you ever seen a race car run without gasoline?) and pick up my 2010 fan kit.
Speak to you soon!
