Let's hope the FIA will understand what FOFA is. I mean we're not a website, we're an association registered in the EU but we're sort of keeping track of our activities on Facebook for the time being. There's always plan B - find a friendly person who works for one of the teams. OK, merci. Let’s hope the FIA will understand what FOFA is.

For print journalists this means supplying a sample of your work (to see if it meets the quality criteria) and letters from editors of newspapers/magazines (which also have to meet quality and circulation criteria) to say you're providing them with coverage. I'm not sure what the rules are for websites, but in any case I would advise having a dialogue with the FIA. Otherwise you won't know whether you're in until you get the official notification, which is usually two weeks before a race - a bit late for booking travel and accommodation.

I didn't know... By the way, could you drop me a line and enlighten us FOFA rookies on the whole accreditation process, I've been checking out the FIA website plus we were gonna ask our contact at FOM (I also got a reply from Jerez circuit accreditation centre written in broken English telling me to put together a dossier to prove that I am integral part of F1). We're guaranteed to appear at 5 races this season (Barcelona, Valencia, Canada, Spa and Hockenheim) so we really need an advice from someone who's experienced in this area. Thanks in advance and good luck with reading. I personally gave up reading books because I used to read too much when I was a kid, it's all very subjective, I'm sure Rimbaud gave up poetry for that very reason. Literature is not important for a modern man. Hosting at Renault? I didn’t know…
