Nat made the journey down the Milton Keynes (She lives in Birmingham) on the off chance that she may get a glimpse of Mr Vettel and at best maybe get a picture with him...but thanks to the team at Red Bull Racing she got a whole lot more than that.
Nat has given us all the details of how the day folded out for them...here is the short version!
Nat arrived at the Red Bull Factory hoping to catch Seb as he went in- when she was trying to figure out where she would feel she would have the best chance she bumped into him (just like Silverstone 2011 all over again) luckily she had her camera on her and plucked up the courage to ask for a picture. For some reason Nat gets all a bit quiet around these Red Bull guys- which is sooooo not the case normally! But she got her pic thanks to a kind unidentified gentleman who was with Seb who managed to take not one but TWO photographs! Nat was ready to go home but as she had hoped to drop off a congratulation card and balloons she quickly went and grabbed them from Buba (her car which has a massive Vettel sticker on the windscreen) and headed back to the building Seb had just gone into hoping to catch him on the way out! Well she wasn't at all prepared for what was about to happen next. She and a handful of other loyal fans were kindly invited into the press conference!!! INTO THE PRESS CONFERENCE as Nat repeated about three times volume increasing each time before she continued!
She told us about the press conference and how David Coulthard was doing a Q&A with Seb, Christian Horner and Adrian Newey and how they had this massive screen with shots from the season so far- she has quite a few pics of this!
She then got her opportunity to give Seb his card and balloons so the mission was acomplished! But as well as the press conference she got to meet Chrisitan Horner, Adrian Newey and David Coulthard and also got a couple of rather nice postcards from the lovely Red Bull Racing receptionist.
She hasn't stopped smiling since and she did thoroughly deserve it as she is a very, very loyal fan! She knows I am doing a piece on the blog about it and asked if I could just mention how grateful she and the other fans were and say a huge thank you to Red Bull Racing!
She has also told myself (a die-hard Mclaren fan) to watch out in 2012. I am not worried... ….but back in January she told me Red Bull would be pulling the double again and she was right!
