Eeep Patrick!
I get a number of obscure Google Alerts sent to me, and "Patrick Friesacher" has been on the list for a few years - it's so damn hard to get information about the boy, I still haven't found out what he was doing/driving at Goodwood...
Anyway, this one was sent to me today:
Austria Says Two Russians Purchased Citizenship ...
I was about to delete it as sometimes there are other random people called that but I was a little bored so I went for a read. Basically Austria have put two Russian businessmen on trial over allegations that they tried to buy Austrian citizenship through a slightly wayward politician. One of the ways in which they tried to ingratiate themselves with Austria in general? They "invested some $2 million in a 2005 sponsorship deal for local Formula One racer Patrick Friesacher"
*head desk*
*gives Patrick a little hug, just because*
