			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.anf1blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Richard-Branson-Coffee-tea-or-me1.jpg" rel="lightbox[1879]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2183" title="Richard Branson Coffee, tea or me" src="http://www.anf1blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Richard-Branson-Coffee-tea-or-me1.jpg" alt="" width="659" height="238" /></a>&#8230;was the headline on the official website of the new <strong>Lotus</strong> F1 team in reaction to the challenge that has been accepted by team boss <strong>Tony Fernandes</strong> after <strong>Sir Richard Branson</strong> of <strong>Virgin Racing</strong> said that the loser in the Formula 1 stakes has to dress up as an airline stewardess on the winner&#8217;s airline &#8211; Fernandes&#8217; AirAsia or Branson&#8217;s Virgin Atlantic.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Bring it on, the sexier the better.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>&#8230;was Fernandes&#8217; response, with the Lotus team even posting a spoof image shown above of Branson dressed up as an air hostess. He continued:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s quite fitting, don&#8217;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 &#8216;coffee, tea or me?&#8217; That would be scary.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<h2>My Thoughts</h2>
<p>Well, who do I want to be the winner of the challenge? It has to be Fernandes after his <a href="http://www.anf1blog.com/2009/12/10/teams-agree-to-joint-car-launch/">genius quip</a> about the matchbox car and the Branson comment. Sorry, but Lotus are my team of choice over Virgin!</p>
