There’s been a few mentions in the press before of the man – indeed, the legend – known as “Phil the Light” who works at the McLaren Technology Centre for the F1 racing team; he’s been mentioned in the Daily Mail and the Guardian in articles about Ron Dennis and his obsessive compulsiveness and even interviewed and quoted by The Times after Lewis Hamilton won the world championship.  If you look close enough, he’s even mentioned in Wired magazine in passing as well.

However, the man better known to me as “Dad”, has outdone himself by appearing an a promotional video for Vodafone giving the outside world a quick tour around the McLaren building:

Typically he’s far too self-conscious to even watch this more than once, but even he had to admit, they did a great job here that totally captures him.  

For the first and probably last time I’ll ever say this – “Thanks Vodafone!”

Every so often I get a photo on Flickr that causes a blip in the statistics with an unexpected surge in views. Right now, it’s this one.
