Stewart, Fittipaldi, Lauda, Scheckter, Piquet, Jones, Andretti, Rosberg, Prost, Mansell, Hill, Hakkinen, Villeneuve, Schumacher*, Alonso, Hamilton, Raikkonen, Button, Vettel, Rosberg Jr I. think.

Sir John Young Stewart is the oldest, yes. Fittipaldi is next oldest I think.

They have a decent number of sponsors, it's just that more and more are smaller deals or shared with other teams. Like they replaced TAG Heuer with Richard Mille, a considerably less prestigious company that you will also find on the Haas.

Richard Milles are like an order of magnitude more expensive than TAG Heuers, it's just that they are ugly as sin and only tasteless rich people like them.


e) Of the big companies (i.e. owned by Swatch Group), Tissot is generally the cheapest Swiss mechanical you can get, and Tag Heuer is like, one step up from that. These days a general TAG will probably run around $5K while Richard Mille watches are around six digits.

Scheckter makes beer now and his grandchildren draw the labels for it. There was a lolworthy furore about it making alcohol attractive to kids.

I care more about the impending breakdown and DNF from Lewis because Nicole is there.

this is a fantastic idea and I endorse it with all my heart. Nicole, please dedicate your performance to Lewis and really confuse him.

Nando's helmet looks great, and the commentators seem happy with how he's running so far.

Yeah, he was a bit slow on his first few laps to get a feel for it, but after that he started picking up the pace.

I was under the impression that there would be other rookies at this test (like Ed Jones) but apparently they get their own orientation day.

Yeah, and one advantage of being in the team he's in is he has a bunch of other people who can simulate traffic for him during practices.

They have set programs 200-205, 205-210, 210-215, 215-220 I believe.
