I'm sorry to interrupt, but I've been thinking a lot, today, about your story Bruno. Not about the tragedy, but about the smartest kids in school, the rejects, the ones hanging out after school on the pottery wheel, or in the art and music rooms. The ones who would sulk away in corners, who always didn't show up for class, the ones brooding in the back. The obnoxious, and loud ones, the disciplinary cases, the class clowns always acting out or giving hell to the teachers. This video takes me back to that time, I wanted to share it with you.

My son is starting to rack up some serious air miles this year. He's just done UK>Australia>UK, London>Edinburgh>London, in the next 6 weeks he's doing London>Abu Dabi>London, London>Bajing>London>California>London, London>Sochi(Russia)>London. On the trip from Bajing to California he doesn't leave Heathrow airport! He'd have been better going Bajing>California! It's possible he'll do all the F1 races this year.

Yes and he doesn't see the race or generally anything other than the pits, coach and his hotel room. Not as glamorous as it looks by a long shot. But he does get an 'inconvenience allowance' from the moment the coach leaves the factory to the moment it gets back there. He did get a day off in Melbourne though.

I don't suppose they need security on staff, do they?

Not as far as I know. I would be pretty sure they'd get them from the factory security provider.

Try going into Profile, modify profile, account settings.  That should work.
