Who won what awards?

[raymondu999]

The awards gala isn't exactly giving awards in the sense of autosport awards/emmy/oscars/baftas. It's where they give the wdc and the two wdc runner ups their respective trophies.

Must be the guy who made the most money this year while contributing the least to the show, after Bernie, of course.

You know you are too hung up on F1 when you scrollling between Alonso and Vettel and attempting to gauge who got the biggest cheers

Turkish press reporting that Vettel 'forgot' to take his passport with him and had to wait an hour at the airport while the German embassy prepared a new one for him. Happens to everyone i guess

[raymondu999]

He was also asked by Canadian immigration what he was in Canada for. "the race," he said. To which the immigration officer asked, "did you have a good seat?"

Isnt turkey part of EU?

Not yet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accession_ ... pean_Union

Anyway, the need for a passport relates to the Schengen Area which is not the same as the EU membership http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area

Schengen is mainly a subset of the EU countries and some politically compatible countries. Turkey isn't likely to join the EU in the short term (before 2025). There are many fundamental objections from several countries and political parties in the European Parliament. Too many areas of negotiation remain unresolved.

Seb screwed up, but its no big deal for a VIP like him. You and me would have probably needed a day at the airport to sort this out.
