…was the headline on the official website of the new Lotus F1 team in reaction to the challenge that has been accepted by team boss Tony Fernandes after Sir Richard Branson of Virgin Racing said that the loser in the Formula 1 stakes has to dress up as an airline stewardess on the winner’s airline – Fernandes’ AirAsia or Branson’s Virgin Atlantic.
“Bring it on, the sexier the better.”
…was Fernandes’ response, with the Lotus team even posting a spoof image shown above of Branson dressed up as an air hostess. He continued:
“It’s quite fitting, don’t you think? Our passengers will be delighted to be served by a Knight of the Realm. But, knowing Richard, the real challenge will be to prevent him from asking our guests ‘coffee, tea or me?’ That would be scary.”
My Thoughts
Well, who do I want to be the winner of the challenge? It has to be Fernandes after his genius quip about the matchbox car and the Branson comment. Sorry, but Lotus are my team of choice over Virgin!

Hmmm, I have to agree. Would like to see Lotus do well rather than Virgin.
This would the most expensive flight ticket.. whichever win..
Both get sales tickets off the roof… Smart move..
Every newspaper, magazines and etc (globally) would want a seat…
Smart thinking Eddie, I didn’t think of it from the sales perspective!
