At the end of the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix, the world buzzed after a fantastic Grand Prix crowned a new World Champion in the form of Lewis Hamilton. Millions of people around the world were there with Lewis as he celebrated in the car, then as he climbed from the cockpit and was swamped by the media, his team, his family. We'd witnessed the jubilation in the McLaren garage when they realised he'd done it, his proud father, his excited Pussy Cat Doll, and his brother, all jumping for joy and exploding with happiness.

We followed them as they and Lewis sought each other out, to celebrate together what was a culmination of a lifes work. Yet in the midst of it all, some fat ugly bastard ruined it by trying to get himself into every photo, every huddle, every camera shot. Screaming non-stop, shaking his finger in a "1" gesture at anything that might resemble a camera, oblivious to the fact that not a single soul there was interested in celebrating with him. This was his moment of fame, where, as perhaps a the cousin of the neighbour of the man who once served Lewis at a pub, he was in amongst it. Ruining the joy of beautiful people.

Fast-forward to 2009. Same place, similar circumstances. A new Brit is crowned World Champion, and as I watch Jenson and his family and team celebrating, what do I see? The same guy, in amongst it, celebrating like he himself designed the car, built it, and drove the first 2 stints.

Who IS this ugly man who seems to have free access to all British F1 World Championship Celebrations? Is he the official British Sporting Celebration Ambassador or something? How is it that 2 years in a row he's managed to get himself front-and-centre for the celebrations of a British World Champion?

I have no real reason to, but I hate this man with every fibre of my being.

[Callisto]

would this be the man who was told to move away during the braun team photo that was shown the bbc red button f1 forum?

[primer]

Do you have a screengrab or link to a youtube video which shows this man? I can't seem to recall this person.

[AndreasF1]

You guys are talking of Mario Brezda. He is the track clown of Interlagos. They only let him out when a Brit wins the WDC. Thats why you saw him 2 years in a row :-)

I haven't seen it but that was probably him

[Pellefjant]

The fat bastard have also got up on the podium, trying to steal Hamiltons prize

[JForce]

I noticed this man as well, he disgusts me.

[lokiman]

Yes, I was wondering who that bloke was. I kid you not: after the team had gathered around for the team photo, he actually sat down in front of them until he was told in no uncertain terms to go away. What a prat.

[potmotr]

Was it Jenson's manager?

He was interviewed by the BBC.

Was wearing a puple Polo shirt.

Didn't seem that annoying.

No, this bloke was wearing a white shirt and no one seemed to know who the hell he was, which is why he was told to go away.

Is it some kind of punishment for British drivers?

[Liuggi]

No, this bloke was wearing a white shirt and no one seemed to know who the hell he was, which is why he was told to go away.

I just watched my recording and no sign of anyone being told to go away apart from an official photographer right at the back.

[potmotr]

No, this bloke was wearing a white shirt and no one seemed to know who the hell he was, which is why he was told to go away.

Probably just some chancer who'd found his way into the right place at the right time.

Personally I love when nobodies sneak among celebs and make themselves conspicuous.

[potmotr]

OK, is this they guy we're talking about?

I'd presume he's part of Button's entourage, perhaps a mate of his Dad's?

My expert eye tells me he's almost certainly English...





Is this the same guy on the right of this shot?

Button is clearly comfortable with him.

Barrichello however seem to think "who the hell is that?"

[potmotr]

Barrichello however seem to think "who the hell is that?"

Mr Big is wearing a Brawn team uniform though...

[potmotr]

Hang on, isn't the man in question this chap, Ron Meadows, Brawn GP sporting director, whose hobbies include karting, swimming(!) and dining out...

http://www.brawngp.c...

[ForeverF1]

It's Ron Meadows, the team Manager.

[potmotr]

More of Meadows.

Probably time to shut this thread.

I think it's fair to say he's entitled to enjoy Button's success!

[Clatter]

lol, I didn't see the footage but assumed the poster meant Nobert.

Me too.

[BRK]

Awesome thread!


Never noticed this before,but let's hope the man in question isn't reading the thread.

I think someone deserves an apology Magnum.

I think the thread should be closed.

So what if Meadows is a bit overweight?

He's part of the Brawn team and doesn't deserve to be shitbagged because he likes to celebrate.

[hsvone]

The fat bastard have also got up on the podium, trying to steal Hamilton's pies

Fixed.

[Rob]

I think the thread should be closed.

It should be deleted so there's zero chance of the guy finding it.

Has the board really descended this low?

I thought it was interesting when an apparently unidentified man had crashed the Button party and got on TV.

But now we know he's an intergral part of the team the interest ends.

It is pretty predjudiced.

The guy is being picked on because he's a bit overweight.

[Clatter]

Actually I think the enphasis was on him being ugly.

[djellison]

JForce - never unknowingly over reacting.

Typical.

[potmotr]

Either way, it isn't cool.

[Don_Humpador]

If it was Ron Meadows, what was he doing in Lewis Hamilton's garage in 2008?

I was wondering this too, when I saw him I assumed he was some glory hunting 'garagite'.

[EthanM]

OK, is this they guy we're talking about?

Isn't this the same guy from 2008?

[Don_Humpador]

I don't think it's Ron Meadows.

Here he is again, on the right..

[EthanM]

It's NOT Ron Meadows, if you notice in the 3 pics posted by potmotr annoying fat guy is wearing like a friendship bracelet or something on his right wrist, Ron Meadows isn't (in the third pic)

Lol you muppet. Dont become a private investigator.

[Orges Dushku]

I don't think its ron...surley ron hasnt gained that much weight since last win of jenson?? and he doesnt seem to be wearing Brawn GP uniform, just a white shirt I can't find any logos on it :S.

I noticed him yesterday he was screaming like he won the title himself

[stevewf1]

He's a well-heeled "groupie"...

[Welsh]

Yeah def not Ron Meadows - but a lookalike.

Well done OP, well spotted.

[potmotr]

If it was Ron Meadows, what was he doing in Lewis Hamilton's garage in 2008?

Which guy?

[Owen]

Must be a hanger on of some kind.

[byrkus]

Hmm... Could it be some Brazilian prankster of any sort? Like that French guy (Remy something), who made it to the pitch after the French soccer finals, shook hands with french President, and then even appeared on the winning photos...?

[potmotr]

Must be a hanger on of some kind.

The guy on the left of that shot is Edd Straw from Autosport isn't it?

Hardly a hanger on.

[Don_Humpador]

Which guy?

He's not in that picture.

Read the first page, you can clearly see him.

Last year I assumed he was some part of Hamilton's entourage, but this year he was with Button.

Like a glory hunter.

[potmotr]

It's NOT Ron Meadows, if you notice in the 3 pics posted by potmotr annoying fat guy is wearing like a friendship bracelet or something on his right wrist, Ron Meadows isn't (in the third pic)

Hmmm, good detective work.

So if it isn't Ron Meadows or Edd Straw who could it be?

What's the common link?

Mercedes?

Perhaps he's some wideboy who shifts Mercs in the North, off to the Brazilian GP on a junket?

[Raziel]

Hahhaahahahah omg great thread! Who is that guy for real? lol

OMG I found him in my pictures archive
