Moreover, when I win the Canadian grand prix I will take a massive Canadian flag with me and drape myself with it. During the national anthem I will step off the podium to the front of the barriers and loudly lead the crowd in singing the national anthem word-by-word and even the English-French mix version. Finally, during my podium interview and press conference I will pay tribute to Canada 1st before even more parents and literally cry for my nation of birth. Finally, on the way out of the circuit I will get ambushed by Tony Montana and a chapter of the Sons of Odin who will kick my loving throat in for not being white and trying to proclaim myself Canadian. I will die with a Canadian passport in my right hand and my Canadian birth certificate in my left. I will be replaced by Lance Stroll.

learnincurve posted:I'd have a magpie on the back of my helmet because people in racing are really superstitious. (In the U.K. If you see a magpie you are supposed to say "Good morning Mr. Magpie. How is your lady wife today?" Because if you don't then it will curse you with bad luck and a death) Uh.... wow. That escalated rather quickly.

Unless Wehrlein is right proper hosed I don't see Gio getting the seat full time this season. Too much of a headache involved with Pascal bringing that Merc money to Sauber (especially if they've paid in advance) and Giovinazzi being a Ferrari a driver. But, hell, if Giovinazzi does well again in China and potentially Bahrain I'm expecting to see him replacining Kimi sometime very soon. A competent young Italian in the Ferrari? Dio mio

I mean, he'll be in that role but he wont be allowed to do any further driving for Ferrari in a test role this season as he'll be considered a senior driver. quote:That third race will be an important decision as it will make him ineligible to be classed as a young driver in tests; there are some in season tests now permitted, mainly to develop tyres, of four days. Two days are allocated only for drivers who have completed two F1 races or fewer. Heh, Giovinazzi is managed by Fisi & Irvine's agent.

Stroll switched to a much lighter power steering setup compared to Australia. Apparently that's why he looked utterly ridiculous in the Australian Grand Prix onboards of him just desperately fighting the car and steering wheel.quote:"We took a different direction with a power steering in Australia, [with a] very heavy wheel," said Stroll. "In testing, I felt it was OK but I was really struggling with it in Australia with the bumps and all that. https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/stroll-boosted-by-switch-to-lighter-power-steering-891241/

DoctorGonzo posted:Speaking of Senna its there someone i can read on the crash? The car failed? Senna was hurt before the crash? Something? He refused to sign for Ferrari and they were essentially under heavy control by the Sicilian Mafia after their attempted expansion into Northern Italy and the Sicilian Don at the time took Senna's refusal as a personal insult so the Sicilians pretty much forced certain Ferrari mechanics to sabotage the Williams overnight before the race with the help of some paid off track officials in Imola. Life sentences for a lot of them that were caught after a long drawn out trial. The early 90s in Italy was pretty hosed up. Courtney Love killed Kurt Cobain.
