  • Caption Contest: #99

    The ninety-ninth 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. He had a disastrous weekend in Valencia, but somehow Luca Badoer managed to ride through and keep his seat for this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix. Prior to qualifying and the race though, Badoer was snapped in his garage sharing a few words with Bernie Ecclestone. What could the pair have been talking about?

      Bernie:”Ooh One,Two,Three Turn Pout. What do you think?, I`am gonna do it at Max`s leaving bash”
