Lotus Team Boss Rises To Branson's Challenge

LOTUS F1 principal Tony Fernandes has risen to Richard Branson's challenge for the loser of the two Formula One team owners next season to serve as a stewardess on the winner's airline.

"Bring it on, the sexier the better," Fernandes, who is also the CEO of AirAsia, told the Lotus Website which carried a mocked up image of Branson in an AirAsia outfit. "It's quite fitting, don't you think? Our passengers will be delighted to be served by a Knight of the Realm. But, knowing Richard, the real challenge will be to prevent him from asking our guests 'coffee, tea or me?' That would be scary."

On Tuesday, Branson said: "He has an airline, we have an airline and if we beat him he can come and work on our airline as a Virgin stewardess."
