  • Caption Contest: #97

    The ninety-seventh 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. Here we have Rubens Barrichello in Monaco earlier this year. A part of the new rules for 2009 states that drivers have to make themselves available for autographs and interviews during the course of a race weekend. However, when Rubens’s PA told him he needed to sign a breast, I’m not sure this is exactly what he envisaged at the time…

      Off-topic [well done, first comment is off-topic - Ed] but I’ve just noticed Rubens has a tattoo on his upper-right arm. Never noticed that before, but then, why would I?

      And I also (strangely) know that Mika Salo, instead of wearing a wedding ring/band, has his wedding band tattooed on his finger.

      Rubens Barrichello has “FE” tattooed on his arm, which is short for “Fernando Eduardo”, the names of his two sons. I think that’s the “F” peeking out from beneath Rubens’ T-shirt.

      “When you told me to sign a new sponsor, Ross, this wasn’t quite what I was expecting…”

      ” Ross, please can I stop coloring this in, I promise Ive learnt my lesson about talking to the press “

      “Ross, I think you’re confused, this is not tweeting on twitter !”

      “Ross, this is not the kind of breasts I put my autographs on.”

      No-one really knows what happened next, but after the cloud of feathers settled Rubens was nowhere to be seen.

      Rubens and friend enter the “Muppet lookalike competition” and make it to the semi finals with their Sam the Eagle impersonations…

      Rubens: Hey people look I’m so cool I can sign without looking.
