Nico Rosberg was joined in the gym of the Hyatt Hotel last night by two members of the Williams marketing team. Not only did he out-last account managers Phil Kennard and Millie Graham-Enoch on the bike, he played poker on-line while doing so!

Various members of the AT&T Williams race team got to enjoy 15 minutes of fame last night when they were swamped by fans outside their hotel. They were just getting into the swing of signing autographs when Toyota driver Jarno Trulli turned up; they dropped immediately!

Despite Hospitality Manager Katie Aspinall’s best efforts, there is still no white wine in the Paddock Club. She managed to source some in the AT&T Williams paddock hospitality area, but not enough to keep 300 guests happy. We understand that Brazil is a nation of beef eaters, but some guests might still like a glass of vin blanc… what chance some appearing tomorrow?

David Coulthard is using a helmet camera at this, the final Grand Prix weekend of his career. “I really wanted some in-car footage to show my son when he’s older,” said David, “so I really pushed the guys at FOM to get it on my car for this weekend. The camera is situated on the bottom of my visor, so I’m trying to push myself up in the cockpit as much as possible to give everyone a better view!”
