Caption Contest: #54
Posted on September 3rd, 2008 by Oliver White in Caption Contests
The fifty-fourth photograph to feature in BlogF1’s caption contest. You know the drill, think of something funny and witty to say and leave it as a comment below. I’ve always found this photo funny simply because Flavio Briatore looks as cool as he can be, relaxed while leaning up against the building. Bernie Ecclestone though, while mimicking Briatore, just can’t pull it off as well.

As part of a secret study, these identical twins were conceived in a laboratory and seperated at birth. One twin was given all the good DNA, and the other was given the leftovers.
Can you tell which one is which?

Despite the comeback tour being a success, the tensions between Syd Little and Eddie Large were plain for all to see.

BE: “But that would look cheap! Do you know anyone that would sell me a diamond-encrusted carved marble platform I could stand on instead?”
By the way, I think the reason why Bernie can’t carry off the Flavio pose is because he’s trying too hard. If you look at Bernie’s left arm, it’s bent quite a lot more than Flavio’s. Also, the right arm is tensed in mid-air (as opposed to Flavio’s left arm, which is casually leaning on a shelf), an effect increased because one of the fingers on Flavio’s left arm is pointing at it. Not that Flavio will have noticed, because the key to carrying off the Flavio pose is to look relaxed and natural.

Absolutely off topic but could be a subtitle to a caption contest
A funny and short talk on press today:
QUESTION. TO ALL OF YOU: WHAT IS ON YOUR I-POD?
VETTEL: Any kind really, German folk songs are my favourite. Anything really, a bit of everything.
HEIDFELD: Yeah, similar to the others, a lot of different stuff, not a lot of classic stuff. No German folk music, more in the direction of R&B, hip-hop, not so much techno, more chill-out but various stuff.
VETTEL: Why don’t you like folk songs?
HEIDFELD: Why do you like it, that’s more difficult to answer, I think?
VETTEL: I like the lyrics.
HEIDFELD: I like the smile on the singers’ faces, just like yours.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Yeah… GO, GO, Go Nick…ahahhahahahaha.. He really have a dry sense of humor!!!

I’ve heard that about Heidfeld as well. In front of the camera he seems a bit shy and awkward. But away from the media, he’s apparently a bit of a party animal, and has a very dry and subtle sense of humour. Funny lad, that one.
