i wonder if she was blonde..........
Taken from autosport...........
Back in the paddock, there was one big story which was doing the rounds, albeit one which you can't imagine having a big influence on the destiny of the drivers' championship. At each race, Red Bull assemble a line-up of young ladies - called the Formula Unas - who fight it out for the crown of the Formula Una of each Grand Prix.
Here, the 18 "national champions" are all invited to attend what is called "the final party of the year". Inevitably, given that the girls are chosen for the usual reasons they are chosen in Formula One - the main criterion is certainly clear for all to see - they attract plenty of interest among the assembled media.
But the star of Brazil has been Montreal's Formula Una - better known as 19-year-old Katrina Lesko. As a Canadian, she needs a visa to be allowed into Brazil, and as such Red Bull informed her that she should get her paperwork sorted to make sure she could make it to Interlagos.
She diligently worked through the paperwork, and when she transferred in Washington on Wednesday was asked to present her visa.
Unusually for this kind of travel document, it was plastic and around 5.5 cm x 8.5 cm with a little hologram in the corner. You can guess what type of visa Kartrina had applied for - certainly not the type that carries much weight with the average immigration officer.
Unsurprisingly, Katrina didn't make it to Sao Paulo. Rumours that she consoled herself by going on a shopping spree have yet to be confirmed.
