For the Boys
Has anyone noticed Lee McKenzie’s necklines when she interviews various drivers? I have observed that Lee tends to wear lower cut tops when interviewing younger drivers. I doesn’t happen quite so often on the track. It tends to happen during the staged interviews that are on location (drivers’ homes, parks, whatever etc). Basically Lee’s casual wear choices tend to be lower cut during segments with younger drivers.
Some may be thinking “Oh come on now, thepitwalk’s really crazy now! It’s just a coincidence!” Perhaps, but Lee herself has stated that at times she takes advantage of her femininity. She is quite pretty, don’t get me wrong now. I just find it hilarious that it seems to happen quite frequently during interactions with younger drivers.
Now now… it wouldn’t be thepitwalk without some evidence, so I have prepared some screenshots from the Shanghai GP, complete with dialog. Do enjoy. 😉
Article #1:
Lee McKenzie interviews Nick Heidfeld, a reasonably attractive driver… albeit one of the older set…

Now, please make a direct comparison with Article #2: On the same day, Lee McKenzie also interviews Sebastian Vettel, who happens to be a hot* young driver of the moment.
* disclaimer: I do not find him “hot” but many do, so there it is.

Perhaps I haven’t won my case today… but worry not… there will be future articles to add to the evidence pile. I am sure of it.
P.S. All in fun. Lee is a good journalist, don’t kill me ok. T_T
The Pit Walk : F1 Fashion 
Her face looks completely different in the Vettel interview. I doubt that I’m describing it well, but her face looks rather soft in tbe Heidfeld interview, while looking sharp and flat with Vettel.
surely the light is the culprint in how her face comes across – bright sun usually makes everything sharper/edgier, whereas cloudy is more “forgiving”, softening …
but i couldn’t really see the difference in clothes style here … unless it really is a shirt one size smaller 4 VET ? it looks a bit tighter, but not more unbuttoned .
Totally agree!! Finally somebody spotted it. I think some flirting goes on with Vettel also….
Yep… provided I have the time… I have an interesting post in the works. It takes a lot of time to compile the photos though
why arent you posting now? eagerly looking forward to it
