    Ron Dennis, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Niki Lauda, and Anthony Davidson. I shook Lewis' hand-what a hand shake! He asked me how I was doing, etc(even in my Ferrari shirt). I believe I might have a new favorite driver, although I still support Ferrari overall. I also shook Fernando's hand, but he was a little busy posing for a picture at the same time. Flavio and Bernie walked in about 5 minutes later, and so I shook both their hands, but Flavio didn't seem to care. Bernie wasn't too bad, though. Niki Lauda just walked out and hopped in a Mercedes, while Anthony Davidson was posing for every picture, signing every autograph, and shaking every hand possible. He was very nice. I also caught Jenson Button waiting for the elevator. (All of this was at the Conrad Hotel)

    Ron was smiling a little bit, but then he turned and looked at me in my Ferrari shirt...

    LOL @ Ron's face! :D Thanks for the pics. Must've been fun getting to meet them (well, at least shake their hands). :)

    Btw, what's up with Fernando and Lewis sideburns thing?

    After FIA inspection it has been concluded that Lewis Just grows better sideburns than Alonso.

    Thanks. Lewis was a real class-act. As for the first corner, I would really like to see Fernando try another stupid move, but not do anything to Lewis. I am hoping for a Ferrari 1-2, of course, but I would also like to see Lewis do well.

    BTW, I spoke with his father a little bit while Lewis was signing autographs. He was also VERY nice. They are both great people.

    After watching Lewis' interview on speed he really does come off as a very grounded genuine nice guy. I've love to see him do well tomorrow, but being a Ferrari fan first there's the part of me that hopes he makes a few rookie mistakes because he sure is due some.

    Or maybe they're just smart enough to realize that fans hate arrogance. I mean, it must be incredibly difficult not to be arrogant at all, in Lewis' position. I have no doubt that Lewis thinks he's the baddest mother****er ever, as he should, but certainly woln't show it and rub it in people's faces like an idiot. People become arrogant over the smallest things, but to be driving for Mclaren at age 22, and leading the F1 world championship in your rookie year and beating your two time champion teammate? Must be an amazing thing to take in.

    I think that's his "Indy" joke: commenting about all the Ferrari stuff all over the place. During the Speed TV interview, when he got a question from the audience, he asked about her Ferrari hat.

    I also liked hearing that Alonso came across as a nice guy in another thread (in the Mondial section). Maybe the boy is growing up. If he's really growing into those championships, it could be an interesting season after all. McLaren isn't red, but they could have a couple of pretty good drivers competing against each other in well running equipment.

    They stayed at the Conrad last year, and the big crowd out side waiting for them was a dead give-away. ;)

    Does anyone else remember that jerk at the Conrad always telling people to step back when they were just trying to get a picture?
