Virgin boss Richard Branson has revealed he celebrated so hard after Brawn GP's first win of its fairytale 2009 campaign that he accidentally urinated on an autograph-seeking fan.
The Brawn team's championship-winning season is the stuff of F1 legend. Purchased by Ross Brawn after Honda's withdrawal in 2008, the team with the sponsor-free livery dominated winter testing, before securing Virgin sponsorship on the eve of the opening race of the season in Australia.
Eventual world campaign Jenson Button would kick off his season with victory in Melbourne. The post-race party which followed escalated quickly, with the hangover which followed presumably enough to prompt Branson into a period of abstinence from alcohol which lasted for the next six months.
