Day ruined by mardy customer who doesn’t understand how tea works ffs

lookingspiffy:

Some of this I’ve already tweeted but here’s the unabridged fannish version from today’s events!

– Got a lift to the circuit in a taxi with two RBR guys because the trains are fucked

– From Rob: any grief Felipe gets in the press is water off a duck’s back to him
– No hint on contract extension but Rob suggested he’d stick around “as long as he wants to be in F1”

– Got some dazzling smiles from Checo & RoGro for being supportively gobby

– Nice chat with a guy from C4; I praised their coverage (only transitional struggle has been everyone assuming they’re still the BBC!)

– Was nearly taken out by someone running to get Jolyon’s autograph

– Buxton tripped over a cable cover lololololololol

– One of the motorhomes was playing the best of REM, bad times

– Complained about trains with Andrew “Sideburns” Murdoch (Andrew/Matteo shy OTP 5ever)

– Told Ted about his Ayao mispronunciation so look out for a potential future correction!

– There’s a guy at Pirelli who’d be accepted into the Amazing Hair Posse, no questions asked

– WHY IS GENE HAAS WEARING A BLACK SWEATSHIRT IT IS FUCKING ROASTING

– ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: said Je t’aime to Jean Alesi HE GRINNED AND EVERYTHING

– Praised Jack Nicholls for his FE commentary (he misses Dario when he’s not there) and he’s just as excitable in real life 😂

– Giuly Salvi is still unbearably handsome

o/ :3b :3b :3b THANK YOU #MassaMafia fact/gossip gatherer! Re: 2017 contract, the media has been unnervingly positive lately, like if they expect anyone to leave, it’ll be Tezza. But I ain’t getting my hopes up just yet :S 

(Also I am 100% aboard the Matteo/Sideburns ship, oh yes)
