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

Yknow if you think hard enough, The Bird Song by Noah Floersch can absolutely make reference to Villeroni, Prosenna and Brocedes just hear me out about this-

(Heavily inspired by Alexandre Cabanel's Fallen Angel painting)

everybody quiet i'm thinking about how jackie stewart didn't want to get attached to other drivers but he couldn't resist becoming françois' friend and then he lost him and years later he met didier pironi and told him to always contact him before making career-altering decisions because he wanted to help him and eventually he lost didier too

JACKY ICKX during the 1984 PARIS-DAKAR RALLY

here are some of my favourite facts about the most equivocally ferrari driver to ever exist, gilles villeneuve.

instead of karting, he made his start in snowmobile racing which is why he was so rapid in corners and ballsy in the wet.

he mortgaged his house to buy a helicopter that he flew to races. to announce his arrival to the paddock he would do a fly-by as low to the ground as possible.

when he wasn’t flying helicopters he used to park his road cars by doing a 180° skid into the parking spot which drove enzo ferrari MAD.

once he drag raced his 1981 car (big red cadillac my beloved) against a supersonic airfighter, won and did a bunch of high speed doughnuts at the end of the runway.

this one time he took a couple of his sponsors on a joyride around toronto in one of their shitbox sedans. he literally went on verges and shit to go past traffic.

he played the trumpet bc why not.

literally just the entire zandfoort saga. crazy little man.

also i cannot express this enough; EVERYONE loved him. literally the drivers, team bosses, mechanics, you name it. the og small chaotic pleasant guy of the grid. we miss you gilles and ferrari are still not over you!!
