Richard Branson Challenges Tony Fernandes To Wear A Skirt
December 17, 2009
At the Virgin Racing launch in London on Tuesday, ESPNF1 asked Sir Richard Branson to comment on the statement made by Lotus boss Tony Fernandes that he would “retire and kill himself” if his squad were beaten by Virgin in 2010.
In return Branson issued a challenge to Fernandes. He said that the losing team’s boss should work on the winner’s airline for a day dressed as a stewardess.
“Bring it on, the sexier the better,” said Fernandes when asked by ESPNF1 if he would accept the challenge.
Lotus has even gone one step further by sending us a picture of what Branson might look like in Air Asia uniform.

“It’s quite fitting, don’t you think? Our passengers will be delighted to be served by a Knight of the Realm,” joked Fernandes. “But knowing Richard, the real challenge will be to prevent him from asking our guests ‘coffee, tea or me?’ That would be scary.”

It’s actually no biggie for Branson to wear a skirt and serve passengers. He actually enjoys doing it. He did it before on Virgin complete with lipstick and jewellery.
But for Tony to get in a skirt and with his stomach and all.. Now THAT is scary!

This is what they call Free Ads, with Ex boss challenging Ex Employee. Instead of racing to the Podium, now we have extra reason to watch F1 next season, when both teams know very well they are not heading to the the PODIUM.
And tht was Exactly how Sir Richard challenged QANTAS CEO few years ago when Virgin Blue started.
