2010 Virgin Racing T-Shirts
As mentioned on Facebook and Twitter already, for this weekend's Singapore GP, we're having a bit of prize-giveaway madness here at Badger. Prizes include Virgin Racing and Marussia Virgin Racing t-shirts, an XBOX and a PS3 version of the newly released F1 2011 game (read the review here) and some BadgerGP stickers for good measure!
To kick things off, here's a photo from Singapore of Timo Glock doing a track walk with some of his race engineers.
All you have to do is add your caption in the comments below and our favourite one will be selected before qualifying coverage begins (2pm BST) on Saturday.
The best two captions will win themselves a Virgin Racing T-shirt! Get thinking and add a caption now!

The prize for this was kindly offered up by Geoff Collins, the former Social Media guru at Virgin Racing - follow him on Twitter - @GeoffCollinsF1 and check out his 'Starting Grid' blog too. It's all rather good!
The T-Shirts are in size large and size small, the first pick of the captions will have a choice, the second best caption has whichever is left.
Comments and Discussion
Did you pull the nails out of the kerbs
I told you shaving our legs and wearing these shorts would get us the ladies, but i think you might be overdoing it with that notepad for their phone numbers
Due to global economy and cost cutting measures 2013 Formula One are doing away with cars and are allowed Four team members to race the circuits. Rubber on soles of shoes will be grey- hard compound and black - soft compound. Change of shoes is allowed but still no refuelling at pit stops.
So if you make the car THIS wide in practice, Mark will never be able to get past you!
TIm O'Glock - "And I think I'll park it up somewhere over there"
Now that's how a kerb should be layed
Timo decided that the Shiraz Cabernet was the best choice for the track walk. Everyone else was just wondering whether he was wearing a kilt....
"Let's go to work. Or, you know: Virgin. Whatever"
so we will approach the corner at walking speed then excelarate out too about 50 mph
Being a virgin driver, Glock's casual walk along with his engineers to look at virgins of marina bay........hahahahahaaaaaa
The VirginBusters are at it again: Glocking the track!
With 'Senna' already on the big screen, Virgin remake 'Reservoir Dogs' ...
Hi ho hi ho it's off to work we go.....oh hang on where's Sneezy, Dopey, Doc and the virginal Snow White?
Timo "They should turn the light's off during the race, if the race is boring it might spice things up. Do you know where Bernie is? we need to talk, I was all for the sprinkler idea.
With the threat from rabid Massa fans still substantial after three years, Timo prefers company when venturing out at night
Over here, there are some light bulbs broken. Quick, lets hide and drink our bottle of whisky while nobody sees it
Timo demands just three things in his rider: A bottle of Bailey's, tartan shorts and two hopping men.
After a night of Eating Singapore Noodles in a local restaurant, the Virgin team forgot where they parked their car.
Glock, scared Webber might come after him following their FP1 contact, opts to venture out with his personal bodyguards.

Guys, I ain't losing this race, give up yet!
Look, there is a camera. I think this is the best spot to do an imitation of the “Heikki Kovalainen-fireman stop”. That would certainly give us more live-coverage than the HRT-crash in Monza!
(In that deep husky american blockbuster voice!)
Four perfect killers.
One perfect crime.
They Don't Know Each Other's Name.
But They've Got Each Other's Color.

Once again Virgin refuse to go all the way.....
I would gave guessed that it was Sir RIchard Branson over there.
Perhaps he is to busy being hostess on an Air Asia flight...
"Timo, We have told You the dress code for trousers and shoes was black! And that You don't drink and drive"
Just don't come complaining after the race.....

You know that White towel your holding, can I use it to wave at mr webber next time I'm near him on the track, so her knows I'm behind him

I swear we parked the car round here somewhere lads?
I've got the docs from Holiday Autos, it's black and red with a 24 on it
Guy on the left: "I thought you said there were cheeseburgers around here?!"
If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the MVR Team!
After extensive repairs to the track FIA have decided to remove the cars from the race.
Right lads lift these kerbs a couple of inches if Marks want me he will have to fly to catch me a bit like he did at le mans
Are you sure badger is this way?
Reservoir Glocks
Glock 'n' Spiel
Right lads, how can I squeeze this Nitrous bottle into my ride?

The Virgin Galactic backup crew practice their walk towards the spaceship walk.
In David Attenborough voice,

After a Successful Photoshoot, Marussia Virgin decide Timo has 'The Right Stuff' . . . .
