Ferrari F1 Stars Visit Vodafone Newbury HQ
12th July 2005 11.9am
 
Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher and Ferrari F1 team mate Rubens Barrichello visited Vodafone's Newbury HQ last week before the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Pictured with Mayor of Newbury, Cllr Val Bull and Chairman of West Berkshire Council, Cllr John Chapman, the drivers answered a series of questions from Vodafone staff.

Michael said that outside of F1 his favourite sport is football, while Rubens admitted to being a golf fan. Although supremely calm on the track Rubens confessed that he is not the greatest passenger. He told the audience that his mother had a small crash when he was in the car at the age of 13 and he subsequently promised that he would never be driven again by anyone else.

Vodafone is an official sponsor of the Ferrari F1 team.
