I was in the grocery store the other day wearing my Renault F1 Team facemask (thanks again ilmucche!) and a security guard came up to me as asked if it was an actual Renault mask. I said yes and he said he was a fan and we chatted about F1 for a bit. He mentioned his favourite team was Ferrari, and I went "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that." and he laughed and then looked sad for a minute.

Welp, that's my off-season F1 story.

I thought about ordering a few for myself but don't want to wear renault gear in france.

Also lol at the sad ferrari fan

That reminds me of an amusing anecdote.

Years ago I was at a revival racing event at Thruxton with the family and a guy walked past wearing a Williams shirt. My mother in law said "He must work there too!".

She's a stupid old bitch.

The real answer is that it created a ground effect by pulling air from underneath the car - the Flat 12 Alfa Romeo the BT46 used was too wide for venturi tunnels like the Lotus 79 used so the fan was a solution.

I think you'll find it was actually a massive cooling system that coincidentally created a vacuum under the car

It fires stones with great force into the face of anyone trying to overtake.

Unsurprisingly, the team was owned by Bernie at the time.

hmmm it sounds like this grossjean guy is right and poois shamilton is a fraud and it's just the cheaty car doing all the work. see the gp where they put a different driver into poois shamiltons car and it almost won so they had to sabotage it

Be interested to see how Grosjean goes in Indycar. I'm also intrigued at the fact William Storey has somehow managed to get into the news again. How does he do it?

Current rumour on Lewis not getting in there wrt to his contact is that he wants veto power on his teammate and Mercedes are worried he'll veto Russell when they replace Bottas for 2022.

I hope that does happen because the wild frothing from the press if our Lewis blocks our George will be amazing.

E: lol and the rumour is coming from Damon Hill to make it even more poo poo stirring

It's far more likely that he wants to veto the possibility of sharing a team with Max

mercedes should tell hamilton to gently caress off and put georgie in the seat. they hosed him over on his first race win.

that bottas pass before his tyres ferraried themselves was top class.

Apparently I'm getting an invite to be involved in the McLaren Racing virtual launch next week. No idea what that actually means, but sweet!

Have to get up at 5am for the launch, but I'm pretty happy about it.
