Virgin Atlantic boss loses a bet

When the Formula1 2010 season had started Sir Richard Branson the owner of the formula1 team Virgin Racing and also the owner of Virgin Atlantic Airlines struck a friendly bet with fellow airline owner Tony Fernandes of Air Asia who also owns the Lotus Racing team in F1. This Sunday when the Formula1 2010 season ended the Lotus racing team finished at 10th position while Virgin racing finished a dismal last.  So now as per the bet Sir Richard would have to shave his legs and wear his competitor airlines uniform for a charity flight from Malaysia to UK.

"We want him to shave his legs. We are going to try and get him to shave his legs and wear some make-up. But we will leave his moustache alone as it is his trademark," AirAsia boss and Lotus Racing owner Fernandes said.

Branson, who has already received his AirAsia badge and uniform for the charity flight on AirAsia, has been a good sport about the whole deal, Fernandes has said.

So will the owner of Virgin Racing keep his word? Lets wait and watch.
