Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Interesting F1 Observation

[Rick Lindsay (rolindsay]

Thanks for the vote of confidence Tom but sadly, we
are invisible; a part of the track.  Here's all I can
tell you: Before he was famous, you know, back when he
had only ONE eyebrow, Fred used to make eye-contact
with the marshals.  MS never did.  He was on stage
performing for the cameras.  Olivier was polite but a
little quiet.  The rest are busy at work and don't
really see us at all.
