Glad you all made it out without developing webbed feet! Just wanted to say a quick thanks for all the blogs/tweets etc coming from RBR - it's made the gap between seasons more bearable, and pushing up the anticipation and excitement ahead of the start of the new season!

I think Schuey likes the pasta at the Ferrari Motor home.

@str3..I was at the the first Jerez test...I'm an outside interactive guy who works with RBR/STR. I consider it a privilege to join them when I can.

V_craft: orginally it's porc, but of course chicken does taste good as well, well...even better to my opinion, but it's not the real thing.

schnizel are prahaps the best simple no prep food in the world just buy'em and chuck'em in a pan. BTW. its basicly just chicken with a coating of breadcrums flour and egg so goooooooooooooooooood.

Funny, I found out first-hand McLaren didn't take too kindly to anyone watching them either! Missed the schnitzel, but if it was anything like the grilled shrimp the week before...wow. Team Red Bull spares nothing when it comes to gastronomy!

Lovely list.. Tempting to expand on it ;) F1 cars still don't float Hekkie likes to physio (golf) train. Ferrari don't like McLaren watching them practice pit stop Spain isn't very warm in Feb Schumacher don't know how fast his car is Fans still love the sport More Fans watching F1 testing in Spain then the race in Bahrain

"Mechanics are able to fry bacon if the catering crew gets stuck in the flood" - the instict of survival starts to kick in I guess. It smelled really nice outside your motorhome in Jerez by the way.

Mmmm, schnitzel. Glad things went well and the drivers even managed a little down time, although I see Mark still got some 4 wheeled action!

The Red Bull F1 Spy at 2:21 PM March 1, 2010

Indeed. It's the finest Austrian fare.

v_craft at 1:45 PM March 1, 2010
