The Formula 1 fraternity which seems to be quite boring most of the times (except for Force India during race weekends), seems to be enjoying the oppurtunity to have a giggle with some even sending in their CVs via twitter. One of the applicants is a certain Kamui Kobayashi who hasn't been seen in F1 since the end of the 2014 season.
Kobiyashi tweeted out:
Here is my CV!! @MercedesAMGF1 pic.twitter.com/aJUFdAlqHX

India's Karun Chandok, who is better known for being a commentator, also joined in on the fun with a set of tweets.

The giggling from the Formula 1 crowd soon reached other sports as well with former German international, Lukas Podolski, a football World Cup winner asking about the timing of the first test.
