Every year this happens, and nothing is done about it.
From James "i wanna make a baby with Lewis" Allens blog

Less well publicised is the fact that Bridgestone, Sauber and Ferrari personnel were actually robbed by the gang around the same time.

This happens every year here, there is always at least one group who are robbed on the way home, although these attacks are a step up on previous attacks.

Petty theft is also very common. Some Force India mechanics placed their bags in the boot of their car outside our hotel on Thursday and a gang ran out and stole them while they waited for a colleague.



If someone came to me and said, here is a free trip to any gp in the world, all expenses covered, I'd instantly think, Brazil. First place everytime, then I'd go to spa, or singapore, or abu dhabi. Why? because you couldn't relax and enjoy the Brazilian gp. Take your camera/phone/money, you get robbed. leave them at the hotel, they get robbed. Either way your gonna get robbed.  ::)

Found this on another website
"A bit of a pickle" - British translation: A catastrophically bad situation with potentially fatal consequences.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
