Time for another caption competition, this time featuring French plodder, Romain Grosjean. Send in your entries and we’ll put the best up. The most suitably denigrating caption wins a pair of tickets to next years Donington Grand Prix and a… packet of Walkers French Fries.

“This is how many times I will spin my car during the race” Martin Smith, Bedford, UK

“I’m going to try and do five laps on Sunday without messing anything up” Simon Piller, Belfast, NI.

“This is how many minutes I will remain a Renault employee after tomorrows race” Karen Clarke, Portsmouth, UK.

“You think being ginger is tough, try steering an F1 car with a giant right hand like this” Andy Nuess, Oakland, CA.

 “Si je vague ma main autour de ce genre, j’espère que je détourner l’attention de tout le monde loin de mon short.” (”If I wave my hand around like this, hopefully I will distract everyone’s attention away from my shorts.”) Glen Dixon, Milton Keynes, UK.

“BACK OFF!  It’s not easy making Nelshino look good!” Jim Svoboda, Redmond, USA.

When we saw, on Romain Grosjean’s personal website, that you could request a signed photograph of the ginger legend, we’d have one of those, it would cover that nasty stain the office wall left from the Christmas party.  So we filled in the form and we waited. And waited. Then we waited some more. Today, we received this email:

Dear All,

Following many requests of autograph, we have to set up a technical solution in order to answer positively to all.

Consequently, you will find enclosed a signed photo.

Thank you for your interest.

Romain GROSJEAN

Now call us ungrateful if you like, but a photograph, signed once, then emailed to anybody who wants it is hardly going to impress the blokes down the pub is it?

Git.
