This was a fun read... happy holidays! Planet-F1 brings you the presents the stars are almost 99 percent certain to be buying each other this Christmas... To Antonio Pizzonia From Nick Heidfeld Present: A season ticket for Alton Towers Note from Nick: Because youll need something to do on Sundays this summer. To the Indianapolis Medical Centre from Ralf Schumacher Present: Operation from Hasbro games Use all your skill and coordination to remove the patient's "ailments" with the tweezers - without setting off the buzzer and making the patient's nose light up! When that happens, it's time to call in a specialist Note from Ralf: This is probably about your level. To Eddie Irvine from David Coulthard Present: Tickets to the British Grand Prix Note from DC: Eddie, no hard feelings mate. I wont need these in 2005 because Ill be driving IN THE RACE. How about you ? To Kimi Raikkonen from his friends at the Ferrari team Present: A lovely silver fishing rod Note from the Scuderia: It's to go with your designer silver duffel coat. Then you can look like a little gnome while speaking like a little troll. To Juan-Pablo Montoya from the Williams mechanics Present: Four boxes of King size Mars bars Note from the mechanics: Good luck in 2005 fatboy. Go on, treat yourself, its Christmas. That new McLarens bound to take a bloke your size, a few extra pounds wont hurt. To Michael Schumacher from Ralf Schumacher Present: 148 Fluff My Muff Vibrator attachments Note from Ralf: Michael, I managed to get my money back from the sex shops investment, provided I got you to sign 100 of these. You can keep the spare 48 to wash the car with. Happy Christmas, Ralf, Cora and David (Schumacher, obviously, not Coulthard). To Bernie Ecclestone from Luca Montzemeolo Present: The Official FOCA TV 2004 F1 Season Review DVD Note from Luca: Hope you enjoy it, Bernie. Only three more left now. To Christian Klien from Mark Webber Present: CK1 (after-shave) Note from Mark: Thought you might like to see what it looks like cos I guess with David coming to Red Bull its going to be CK2 for most of 2005. To Charlie Whiting from Ross Brawn Present: A case of vintage Moet et Chandon champagne Note from Ross: Thanks for those experimental BAR torque transfer drawings you accidentally posted back to me instead of Geoff Willis. Ive returned them with a note saying, Oops. To Ron Dennis from Jean Todt Present: A test day on track with a Ferrari 360 Note from Jean: Ron, if you cant beat us, join us. Hopefully the 360 wont be too much extra power after driving the McLaren SLR. To David Richards from Jacques Villeneuve Present: Tickets to the Canadian GP Note from JV: David, no hard feelings. I wont need these in 2005 because Ill be driving IN THE RACE. But of course, BAR-Honda wont really want you there, will they, so Im sending you some tickets. Sorry, couldnt get you into a grandstand, but at least youll be back at the grass roots. To the BAR mechanics from Jenson Button Present: CD - Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word by Blue Note from Jenson: I would have got you the Louise single, but I dont think they produced more than 28.
To Juan-Pablo Montoya from the Williams mechanics Present: Four boxes of King size Mars bars Note from the mechanics: Good luck in 2005 fatboy. Go on, treat yourself, its Christmas. That new McLarens bound to take a bloke your size, a few extra pounds wont hurt. LOL
