Red Bulletin started as fun, mad and irreverent small venture, has become a multi-edition, full colour magazine. The Red Bulletin is printed daily on a portable printer which travels to all the races in a specially adapted state-of-the-art truck which opens up to become editorial and production offices. At the moment it is distributed only and exclusively in the paddock and grandstand areas.
So I hope you all enjoy, this is from Red Bulletin issue 119, GP Japan, Friday, October 6, 2006.

Subject: your secret is out
From: Michael
To: Jarno
I saw you chatting with Felipe in the paddock yesterday and I know what’s going on: you’re planning my surprise GDPA retirement party! Don’t worry, I’ll remember to act all surprised, but please fruit juice. Oh, and no fireworks, I don’t want a fuss and, besides, they hurt my ears. Oh, and no naked girls either. I’m going to be spending a lot of time at home in the future and that sort of thing isn’t going to make for a quiet life.
Tchuss, Michael.

Hello Michael,
I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.

Hi Mark,
I don’t know if anyone’s organizing Michael’s leaving party, but he thinks it’s me. Whoever is in charge, could you tell them he doesn’t want any booze, fireworks or naked girls.
Ciao, Jarno

Hi DC,
Are you in charge of Michael’s leaving party? I haven’t got time for that sort of thin, I’ve got kayaking to organize, and the cricket season’s starting soon so I’ve got to in the nets, and my bike needs oiling, and my dog need walking and …. and …. well, basically, I don’t want to do it. So I guess you’re in charge. Oh yeah, Jarno was babbling about on fireworks, naked girls and cocktails.
Regards, Mark.

No idea about a party, but I suppose we should sort out something. I’ll find some monkey with nothing better to do and get him arrange it. Maybe we could hire a bar or a pole dancing club or something if that’s what he wants – there’s always plenty of drink in the paddock.
Regards, DC

I hear it’s the tradition over at Maranello that the new driver is in charge of retirement parties. Maybe you’d better sort out something for Michael in Brazil. Find a venue and don’t forget a firework display and naked dancers. Oh, and I hear the caipirinias are great in Sao Paulo.
Cheers, DC

Cool!! I’m on it. Can you get an ice-sculpture vodka luge in Brazil. Never mind, I’ll find out. The dancing girls, and drink shouldn’t be a problem – I could ask Jarno for some wine. And I can guarantee fireworks. It’ll be the biggest party of the season. Hey! Twister!
Bye, bye Kimi
