Didier Pironi, Alain Prost, and Gilles Villenueve 1982:

"His death has deprived us of a champion, one that I loved very much. My past is scarred with grief; parents, brother, son. My life is full of sad memories. When I look back and see the faces of my loved ones, among them see him."

Enzo Ferrari on Gilles Villeneuve

I don't need the world to see

that I've been the best I can be, but

I don't think I could stand to be

where you don't see me

these guys never gonna know the suffering I'm going writing this self-indulent fic of niki lauda and three slightly niche racers who never got their chances to shine in f1 that were in and affected niki's life in SOME way.

Whether through want or how quickly, the answer is "yes"

“You know the fantastic thing, I think every man in the world is looking for that: to make, from his passion, his business. That’s what I have done. I have passion for motor racing and it’s my business. I cannot be more happy. Everything I do about motor racing, I enjoy it. Anything. Because it is my passion.”

- François Cevert (February 25th, 1944 – October 6th, 1973)

Rain at Monaco

Hers is Jackie Stewart in his Tyrrell-Ford charging up the hill from Sainte Devote toward the Casino during a very wet Monaco Grand Prix on May 14, 1972. In somewhat unusual weather conditions for Monaco both the Saturday practice and the Sunday special practice were wet. The adverse weather continued through the start of the race and there were repeated showers during much of its planned length…

Rain at Monaco

Fangio was just an insane guy, he started competing in f1 in his forties, outdriving his fitter and younger rivals every single time. He broke his neck but came back to f1 a year later and won 4 consecutive titles. When he was at ferrari he would fight with enzo constantly bc he didnt want to follow his strategies. Then he left ferrari for maserati and enzo called him a whore for not being loyal to only one team. At one point he got kidnapped at the cuban gp and asked the kidnappers not to take stirling moss as well because he had just gotten married and he didnt want them to ruin the mood!! Then he said he was treated very well and became friends with one of his kidnappers LMAO
