One week before the Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix, we decided to have a bit of fun and see if our Facebook fans were game enough to “stalk” F1 drivers.

The challenge was issued: grab a picture OF an F1 driver and be rewarded; grab a picture WITH an F1 driver to score fabulous gifts; and the ultimate prize? Grab a picture with an F1 driver while wearing an F1 t-shirt or cap and win a holiday to Koh Samui!

The result? A flurry of activity as men and women offered up images of F1 drivers from all angles, distances and locations – some from a far, others with themselves in the frame. But one young man rose above the challenge and submitted two images – one of himself with Nick Heidfeld, who drives for Lotus Renault and another of himself in a Firefly t-shirt and Jamie Alguersuari, current Scuderia Toro Rosso driver.

Who’s this incredible fella? He goes by the Facebook username Pilot Yohan, and kindly agreed to offer us 5 minutes of his time for a quick chat…

Firefly: You were the first to submit your entry, how did you manage to act so fast?

Yohan: Well, I am a big fan of the F1 race and every year I make it a point to go to the hotel where the drivers stay to meet them and get some autographs. This year as soon as I saw the contest post on Firefly’s page, I had more reason to give it a shot and was lucky to find that I was the first to submit my entry.

Firefly: You’ve never flown with Firefly before, yet you LIKED our page – why is that?

Yohan: Even though I am a software engineer by profession I love the aviation industry a lot and follow most airline pages closely.

Firefly: How did you convince the drivers to take a picture with you; did they know it was to win a prize?

Yohan: No, they did not know and it’s actually part of my hobby.

Firefly: Where did you get the Firefly t-shirt from?

Yohan: Well, I have a friend working with Malaysia Airlines so I just decided to ask him a favour to help me go over to Firefly’s office and buy the t-shirt for me.

Firefly: Who is your favourite F1 driver?

Yohan: Michael Schumacher and Felipe Massa

Firefly:Now that you’ve won a holiday for two to Koh Samui, who will you share your prizes with?

Yohan: My fiancée Mazniza, this package will surely be our second honeymoon as we got married in June.

The Firefly would like to wish Mohd Yohan a Happy Married Life and congratulations to all the other winners of Firefly’s Spot the F1 Driver Contest (see the pictures here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150145176096511.277213.52630456510).
