First time I saw this picture last year. Until now, I didn’t realised that something is missing. Do yo u know what?

Ferrari find out who’s guilty fot the sabotage!
Watch the picture!
Alonso and his team were caught by papparazzi while they were trying to destroy the Ferrari wind tunnel!

Ferrari drop the charges after Jean Todt saw Alonso’s face and said this was his best laugh ever.
Kimi claims that he saw ALonso around Ferrari’s building, but being after 4 beers he was not sure and decide not to report the incident.
Alonso say this is not true, there was Michael Schumacher in disguised trying to set him up.
Michael Schumacher has no comment about the incident.

Yesterday I wrote the previous post about me not having where to watch F1 and, ironically, today I find out that in UK they can go to cinema and see the race!
