Mercedes F1 racing top talent Lewis Hamilton may be well advised to steer clear of cups of tea for a while after soaking Vlad Putin's suit in champagne.
It's possible that Putin will take this in the humourous way it was intended, but if I were Lewis I'd be looking around for a watch with a built-in Geiger counter.
Didn't get that far after watching the race, just stayed long enough to see Putin 'greet' Hamilton after the weigh in. Putin looked incredibly uncomfortable, as if he'd been looking for the loo, pre unzipped, opened a door and found himself confronted by cameras and sweaty racing drivers. Altogether odd.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your slur w.r.t the Russian tea ceremony has been duly noted in the appropriate quarters :-)
