Another Tale Of Love Between Ayrton And Pasta, As Told By Angelo Parrilla Of Karting Company Fame:

Hehe I’m so funny

Apparently drivers play mindgames/analyse eachother during the drivers' parade:

Charles Leclerc: you start to analyze how everybody feels going into the race. And you can already see who has a lot of confidence, who maybe has a little less confidence. And this you can see with behaviours.

future reference for seemingly cute moments during the drivers' parade 👀

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER, 1991

watching the front positions of f1: Same 5 guys trading off finishing positions with each other every week

watching the midfield/backrunners of f1: Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon are roleplaying Javert and Hugh Jackman in a Les Miserables fight to mutually assured destruction over a no-points position. Lewis Hamilton is going to physically fight his own car to the death. Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo are going to physically fight each other to the death, but Daniel has a disadvantage because Lance Stroll has a sniper rifle aimed at his head. The Saubers are rewriting the federalist papers in the pits. Kevin Magnussen has planted a bomb on the track, and the blast has inevitably caught a Williams.

I have spent all day watching classic f1 interviews and I never understood why people called Niki Lauda ugly. He's got an overbite but he was always attractive, even before his accident

Murray Walker's report on Niki Lauda's first retirement from F1.

From 1:45-3:45, Niki talks in a lot of detail about the crash and thinking he was going to die.

From 7:30 onwards he pulls the CUTEST little face when he complains that racing is boring.
