Hello there,

Hope you can help - does anyone know the name of he guy who, at the end of the race, is always standing waiting at the drivers enclosure waiting to hand out drinks and tissues and hats and so on to the three podium placed drivers. He then ushers them on to the podium. It seems to be the same guy at every race. He seems so polite and restrained and awkward and the drivers just kind of ignore him he reminds me of dobby! Cracks me up every race!

Any help gratefully received!

Niall

The lanky dude with the dark hair and now a beard is the one that hands out drinks. I often ask myself as well who he is and what else he does other than giving the hats, water and watches at the end of the races. Great question, I hope someone has the answer.

He is the "Black Butler."

He drives all the cars to the shipping port after each race - at NIGHT.
