Following the sudden absence of Miki at the last Suzuka GP, MMRT wants to fill in some blanks:

The no. 1 driver of the team was seen in the company of some geisha girls on Friday evening after the team debriefing session regarding the practice sessions. He was expected to turn up for the qualifying session, but as that did not happened the team launched some investigation only to find him a bit too exhausted in his hotel suit with some very odd muscles strains.

And here's the reason why:-

Looks like a 'kiss and tell' story brewing up here!

Because of the short time remained the team was unable to field a replacement driver. We hope he will recover on time for the next GP, and maybe will care to share some impressions about the local customs.

We also talked with Cristian about his race.

?It was a very demanding race, and I experienced some recurrent discomfort which caused me to alter my driving stye (well some will discuss my style, and I tend to agree). None the less I had loads of fun but also was very happy to see the checkered flag. I want to congratulate Fernando and the MMC team for the win. Regarding the next race at Interlagos, history has shown that anything is possible so the first goal of the team will be to have 2 cars at the finish line and then hope for the best. We are sure that both drivers are commited and we hope for the best.?
