How to get into the F1 paddock

Getting access to the F1 Paddock is not an easy business and even Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone has had trouble getting in on occasion in the past. However, thanks to reader Tom Kearney we have stumbled across a useful tool for "illegals" to use as they try to get through the paddock gates. We suggest a neat white shirt, a carefully-pressed pair of grey slacks and the product one can buy at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0009UD8YQ/sr=1-41/qid=1136838521/ref=sr_1_41/103-4419489-8187061?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance.

If that does not work, nothing apart from an F1 pass will do it!
