IIRC they'd already done some videos where they were guests of AM at their new F1 facility at Silverstone, so makes sense them being with the team at the British GP.

MBS is a horrible and extremly unpopular guy in the F1 world. Some young intern probably suggested the Matt invite.

If you win it, please sort out the door alignment and the trim on the bonnet, if it's not been sorted smile .

It's true, but for MA it's a pretty cool life experience - are we all saying we would turn down an offer from MBS to go to Silverstone with most likely VIP access? I certainly wouldn't turn it down.

I absolutely would. I can't imagine a circumstance under which such an invitation would be extended, mind.

I'm going to have to have a go. I don't know why because I've literally never won anything in my life but at least I can be a part of it laugh

I found the bit where they were messing about with the BMW seat quite interesting.

Nice to see that some stuff can still be fixed by unplugging and replugging.

Also nice to see his thrill in editing.

Good to see him doing stuff he enjoys.

I was going to, but the "you can only pay if you download our special payment app" was a no - no.

Not criticising MA in any way, just pointing out MBS's love of the limelight and attention-seeking. He tried to push himself into Hamilton's celebration on Sunday and rightly got the cold shoulder from him laugh

There have been some rumours of Metoo stuff from him as well

I've been very tempted by a few of these, but I read the smallprint and Ts&Cs of most of these online competitions and just walk away. It seems you have to sign up first, not just buy a ticket and that in entering, you are allowing them to aggregate all of your data. fk knows where it gets sold to.
