Hello Professor Jenkins,
I am a project manager on the social outreach team retained by Johnny Walker to promote awareness against drunk driving. We are hoping you could help us get the word out the F1 and mostorsport communities in the British Isles and Europe through your blog. The video features Lewis Hamilton and Mika Hakkinen hoping to sign people up to join a pact against drinking and driving. Any avenue would be fantastic. Again, any help would be appreciated, and it would be amazing to be a part of your great site.

Hi there,
My name is Judi, and I’m working for Weber Shandwick PR representing ExxonMobil and the Mobil 1 brand. Having read your blog, I wanted to drop you a quick line about something we’re doing that you may be interested in hearing about.
We’ve just created the Mobil 1 Global Challenge 2010, a new online racing game that allows you to compete with your friends, other racers from across the world and even Formula 1 champions Lewis Hamilton and Jensen Button on some of the world’s toughest tracks. Taking you from Russia’s Tundra to Egypt’s Sahara, there’s a track to test your skills on any level from Rookie to All Star.
We’ve created a viral that captures the moments when Lewis got to test the game – you can see this here: http://www.grid1.tv. And if you want to take a look at the game itself, visit http://www.grid1.tv/game
You can even host a brand new three track version of the game on your blog – if you like I can send you the details.
Get in contact for more info – if you’re not interested, just let me know and I won’t contact you again.
Thanks!
Judi

Hi Mark – some more news regarding F1 that I thought you might be interested in. I actually work with Judi who got in touch with you previously regarding Global Challenge Game. We’ve just announced the renewal of the partnership between Mobil 1 and Vodafone McLaren Mercedes – in its 17th year it is the longest partnership of its kind in F1 history. I’ve got some images as well of the new car that would accompany this! Let me know and I can send you the images.
Thanks,
Ross

Dear Professor,
I’m contacting you because we run a contest on Facebook, started on April 26th.
I think that it may interests the readers of your blog, since involves the world of Formula 1, giving the winner the opportunity to live Monaco GP from behind the scenes acting as a reporter!
If you think you could be interested in it, let me know or otherwise you can just spread the word by yourself!
In case you need more information I’m at your disposal!

Hello professor,
We are currently building out RacerBook, a social network for racers and fans. We will introduce many great apps around middle of this year. In the meantime, we have a page on FaceBook that has postings of race info, photos and videos.

I’ve posted your article on the cost of F1 team there. It would be great to have you join the group
Thank you!

Hi, I really enjoyed reading through your blogs. We run a website aimed at promoting amateur f1 bloggers and encouraging friendly debate.
I was wondering if you would fancy joining in, it would be great if we could publish your blogs on our site…. obviously we provided links to your own site and give full credit to the authors of each blog we publish.
If this sounds like something you would very interested in, I would love to hear back from you.
Thanks for your help,
