The Williams F1 Team hosted an action packed Partner Day at Silverstone on 17th October 2012 as a way of paying tribute to its loyal stable of partners. One of the day’s highlights was Williams F1 Development Driver Susie Wolff driving the FW33, her first time at the wheel of a Formula One car. Other highlights included Pastor Maldonado, Bruno Senna and Valtteri Bottas driving two of the most legendary cars in Williams’ history – the FW08 that took Keke Rosberg to the driver’s title in 1982 and the FW18 that saw Damon Hill clinch the championship in 1996.

There has been a lot of speculation about what Kimi Raikkonen will do next season (2013). This will all come to an end on the 17th of October when a new contract will be published at http://www.whatwillkimidonext.com/

Back in the day, organisers of race meetings at Goodwood circuit in the UK used to talk about having “the right crowd and no crowding”. What would they have made of the crowd at Suzuka? A trip into the spectator areas yesterday revealed some interesting sights: there were fans wearing replica Michael Schumacher helmets all day; other people were wearing the overalls of their favourite drivers; others were draped from head-to-toe in Williams team clothing. Yes, we have a merchandising stand here at Suzuka and it would seem the fans can’t get enough of our gear, all the caps sold out before Saturday! Third driver Valtteri Bottas even spotted a #Bottas flag in the grandstands during FP1!
Finally the mystery was revealed today around the figure of Tomita, the microscopic mysterious doll that some time is part of the virtual adventures of Fernando Alonso. Usually seen in the places visited by the Spanish, this silent friend was now starring in a memorable encounter between his “father”, Japanese Hideo Baba, and Alonso. The scenario of the game: the Scuderia Ferrari garage Suzuka circuit, home of the fifteenth round of the FIA Formula 1 World. Tomita was renamed with the name after being acquired in a toy store in Tokyo, though his real name is Asbel, hero of a popular game in Japan, called “Tales of Graces”, produced by the company Bandai, the third game maker in the world. Precisely Alonso and curious little hero will star in an advertising campaign that Kaspersky Lab, a leading company in the field of computer security and a member of the Scuderia since 2010, will launch next November.

Well, working for our Partner NEC must be interesting anyway. But if you’re meeting Kamui Kobayashi prior to the Japanese GP right at your office – isn’t that fantastic?
