What happened to the guy who hands out the baseball caps for the podium?
If he's gone I want that job!

He was hiding with the phone behind the girls. ;)
Looks more pro that way.

He he I did notice Alonso's furrowed brow looking at the hats wondering what was going on, and while skillfully avoiding Vettel and Hamilton he eventually went in for the kill and picked up his own hat and put it on - Go Alonso!

Aren't the hats marked with 1st, 2nd and 3rd?

I saw Alonso pondering this predicament also. I kind of assumed he picked up the '1st place' hat first and was like 'Ha! That would be funny. Shall I, shan't I?', and then was like 'Well, better not.' and picked up the '2nd place' one.

Oh yes he should have done that, picked up the no.1 hat just to wind up Vettel, that would have been entertaining.

I think he was dealing with the Greenpeace protesters.

I think there's a 1st cap then two non-placing Pirelli caps.

Having his hands full, while I realise is a joke, he does this before the podium. The lovely ladies then hand them team caps and FOM microphones after the anthems, trophies and champagne.
