"Alice"

Ty Nicholson · 23 Jul 2007, 08:29 (Ref:1970893)

Fellow SMMC Rescue operative and Silverstone Sid's sidekick, Tommy Wilson was seen during the Friday Marshal's Pitlane Walkabout. He was outside the Ferrari garages, looking up at their pitwall monitoring desk, pointing at the trailing edge of the roof and asking one & all "Who the

is Alice?".

The left left hand edge of the roof had a Ferrai logo and the right hand edge bore the word "Alice".

Anyone out there know the answer to Tommy's question?

Yes, Mrs T and I have also been wondering about "Alice".

The word appears on the race cars too. We don't think our teenage niece can afford to sponsor an F1 team.

Alice are an Italian broadband provider, and sponsor the Ducati's in MotoGP as well.

Thanks for the info Steve, but why only one sponser's name on the the pitwall stand?. We were thinking along the lines of a charity Ferrari may be sponsoring, a member of the teams family (for some obscure reason).

Ty. If Tommy had asked me I could have told him on the day but I think he didn't want to wake me up. You take care, SYD.

I would imagine they can bag such a large spot on their own if they are providing a big enough bankroll!!!!!!!! If you provide enough dosh, then you can claim that space as yours alone.

Alice (pronounced Ali-say) are part of Telecoms Italia, similar to our own BT.

No, but you can ask him what number the 50 cent car is

A more important question should be the logo seen all around the track at the recent Dutch Bike GP in the form of a modified A
