Young punks get McLaren to use blackberry to run F1 car

[John S]

An office lark on You Tube with a blackberry and a model car inspires McLaren to let Lewis run his car wirelessly around a real track

[Ian]

Thats a pretty good one John.

That's amazing.  Hilarious that McLaren invited him out and hooked the thing up to the race car.  What a dream for the guy.  Lewis seemed to get a kick out if, but it scared the daylights out of me when he suddenly looked away from where the car was going as it went out of sight (made me think it was a prank, actually).

I think the whole thing is a Vodafone set up from start to finish

+1! Can you say commercial? Disguise it as news/human interest story and you don't have to buy airtime.
