I had to google it but wow. Quad bike accident at 16. Lost a kidney, liver damage and was basically on his death bed.

Jolyon's gonna retire and start lugging around a dialysis machine around tracks when he gets older.

The reason why Jolyon's such a sourpuss all the time is not because of Renault, it cuz of his missing kidney.

Is there anyone autistic enough in this thread to go through literally every single F1 driver ever and figure out if Jolyon is the first one-kidney-having-fucklord-driver ever?

I always forget Lauda is a 3x WDC cause all I see is that crazy old man in the Mercedes pits.

Depends on when you consider a driver's career to be over. By some definitions, Jim Clark and Taffy Von Tripps might qualify.

AJs is a funny one. He was always a tubby gently caress, there was criticism later in his career when it was pretty clear his performance was suffering because he wasn't fit enough.

But he was on the heels of the Hunt era, where exercise came from driving and shagging.

There is no denying when you go back and watch races anywhere around 1980 that Mr Jones is a force to be reckoned with.

There is a loving great video of him fighting with .. I think Prost.. and he pulls this amazing move with a backmarker.. I'll find it and challenge you not burst with Aussie pride when you see it

(not the Cronulla sort of Aussie pride for fucks sake)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuTBLrJFHeY

yeah so that's AJ sticking it up Prost's rear end and winning the race. The great Alain Prost. So when you're sitting at a table with a row of commentators, or maybe Mark loving Webber, I sort of understand AJ's frustration. You're all actually shitcunts, I'm the only one here that didn't suck. Please don't forget this.

Mostly related content: Anyone here ever go to the Canadian GP? Since I started watching a few years ago I've been banging around the idea of going to a race, the closest are Austin and Montreal, but I have no experience at either track.

The '81 Renault was not very efficient chassis wise. That video is mislabed by the way.

I enjoy seeing the tag because it reminds me of the youtube broadcasts of Indy practice where it would be 4 hours straight of [Spanish?] people calling out every single object shown on camera and prefixing it with "GP2"

GP2 CATCH FENCE
GP2 YELLOW FLAG

Yep, that was 81. Wasn't that the year that Prost had a turbo and Alan didn't through? The years of 'you can have either a 3 litre V8 or a 1.5 litre turbocharged, they're the same' except they totally weren't the same.
