Ladies of Britain talk football

Lots of women know loads about football, but we didn’t want to talk to them. We have a theory that women are instinctively right about most things, so we needed to find some girls who knew next to nothing about football, to put our theory to the test

Vodafone Voices GP Singapore

As they move into the second half of the 2011 Formula 1 season, pressure is mounting and the atmosphere is electric – so what’s it really like behind the scenes for the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Team? The VMM Caption Competition is the hilarious answer to this question; a series of “unofficial” video clips overdubbed to reveal the playful side of the pits. Five videos are being released in total, featuring a range of humorous situations – from a lost coin (and Malteser!) in the cockpit of the MP4-26, to an overexcited driver in the car.

The clips are promoting the new VMM Caption Competition app, hosted on the Vodafone Racing Facebook page www.facebook.com/vodafoneracing , which will allow fans to add their own captions to a gallery of images of the VMM team and create their own fun and playful behind the scenes moments.

Captions will be showcased in a gallery and fans can vote on their personal favourites. Weekly prizes for the most popular captions will include merchandise such as caps and t-shirts whilst at the end of the season, the fan who writes the winning caption will be rewarded not only a copy of their caption signed by one of the drivers, but also a tour of the McLaren Technology Centre, to meet either Lewis or Jenson.

Get closer to the action at Vodafone McLaren Mercedes – The VMM Caption Competition: Lewis and Jenson as you’ve never heard them before.

Vodafone VIP: Fashion Photography With F1′s Lewis Hamilton & Jenson Button

Vodafone VIP has set Vodafone McLaren Mercedes F1™ drivers Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button their toughest challenge to date. The teammates were tasked with styling, directing and photographing an eccentric high-end British Summer fashion shoot under the watchful eye of renowned stylist Valentine Fillol-Cordier.

Plunged head first into the world of fashion, the film follows Lewis and Jenson on set as, assisted by Valentine Fillol-Cordier, they style models Charlotte W and Eve Delf in iconic British-inspired outfits. Having put their styling prowess to the test, the drivers select props for the shoot with Lewis then taking the role of photographer and Jenson as photographer’s assistant.

Jenson was quick to get to grips with the outfit selection, as well as the intricacies of lighting, composition and camera setups, while Lewis also tackled his role confidently. “I’ve done several photo shoots”, Lewis commented, “so I kind of see how photographers behave and act. And obviously I’ve seen Austin Powers so that’s where I really took my inspiration from!” Both models seemed to have just as much fun as the drivers, with Charlotte W describing the day as “hilarious” and “completely different to any shoot I’ve ever been on”.

Previous Vodafone VIP online films have seen the drivers assemble their own F1™ car, and nab the best spots at their favourite festival by turning up in the depths of winter.

The film is just one element of Vodafone VIP, which gives customers access to the best of British festival, fashion and Formula 1™ events. Whether it’s the 2011 FORMULA 1 SANTANDER BRITISH GRAND PRIX, music festivals or exclusive front row seats at London Fashion Week shows, Vodafone will be supplying customers with the hottest tickets and money can’t buy experiences. All Vodafone customers can register for Vodafone VIP by going online.
