Rosberg helmet wind-up

Post by GooddayBruce »

Oh guys!! Seems like Nico Rosberg is in a sport of bother. He's lost his helmet!

Read his twitterings on the subject here http://twitter.com/NicoRosberg16

He's so intent on getting it back that he has posted an emotional appeal on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGPaPyGxwzI

And the plot thickens with more video evidence http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKJ7AHcYn3Q

Surely this is a viral marketing thing of some description similar to the classic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1017CG6n ... re=related

It is lovingly created if it is.

* I wonder if he'll find it? ;)

'Helmet' is spelt 'helmet' - just saying.(sorry, I'm a spelling Fascist)

And about the story - the publico-crapometer is whooping, this is just a PR stunt. Like Rosberg cares about his helmets, money is no object to him and he hardly has any emotional attachment to it, drivers have different helmets at every race.

Wouldn't mind finding it though - pit lane access for the Brazilian GP would be nice. :)

It's like when that video turned up a while prior to this year's Indy 500 in which Danica Patrick's car was supposedly stolen from the Andretti Green Racing homebase.
Public-O-Crap-O-Meter with not one, but two big O-s. James Bond anyone?!
