Finally, a new comic! Also with a bunch of hidden jokes, unicorns to the ones who catch them.

Keke did manage to produce a driver who has a name that people actually know how to say - but so it happens that the said driver only has a distantly Finnish name and a German flag next to it.

Can you tell us more about ron psycopath dennis coming to keke because keke didn't want to leave sick nico behind?

so in 1992 mika hakkinen, at the time driving for lotus, signed a contract to drive with williams for the following year (an excellent decision as williams won the constructors championships in 92 & 93, and took the drivers' championships with mansell in 92 and prost in 93). lotus protested the decision, claiming that hakkinen was still under contract to them, and williams withdrew their offer (they eventually paid keke and mika damages, because the contract was actually fine and by withdrawing, they were in breach).

this meant that by the winter break, mika didn't actually have a drive for the following year. keke spoke to ligier, but they were unwilling to actually sign mika, so keke called ron dennis. ron dennis reportedly wanted a longer, more formal meeting, but at the time, nico, who was about 7 years old, was very ill with some sort of blood disease, and keke didn't want to leave for any real length of time.

so two days before christmas, while ron dennis was skiing in the alps, keke made him leave his resort and meet keke at courchevel airport (apparently one of the world's most extreme airports) in the middle of the night to sign the deal. ron dennis showed up, signed the deal, mika officially became the test/reserve driver for mclaren, and keke flew back to nico.

this was keke and ron's relationship when keke drove for him. it doesn't seem like the dynamic changed much when keke stopped racing.

Hyperfixation Corner: A Special  | Oops!… They Did It Again - The Friendship of Jenson Button and Nico Rosberg

let me break the ice: on one side of the party, there was jenson button, daddy-o, he had the swagger of a champion. on the other side, you had nico rosberg, mr. “lifestyle of the rich and famous” since a young fella. if you’ve seen them interacting, then they might make you believe that they’re more than just frineds. and yes, they might be retire, but it’s too late to give them up. i took a sip from the devil’s cup and slowly, they’re taking over me. love them, hate them, say what you want about them, but all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek jenson and nico. so, in this special edition of the hyperfixation corner, i won’t let you all be the last to know and we’re gonna go all the way from 2000 to today to establish what is going on there between princess cake.

britney songs aside, this is a quickie and not the hc i have been working on since we wrapped 1982. uni and sinusitis have taken over me but that one is done. it’s weird to explain. however, i wanted to dedicate this to the people who probably know it’s dedicated to them, you guys are awesome and i love you all. and quick disclaimer, if you’re nico and you’re reading this: i love you even though you never drove for ferrari, don’t take this seriously pls. if you’re jenson and you’re reading this: i love you even though you never drove for ferrari… what is going on there?
