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…
I feel like this could flop, idc, I'm going to college anyways. Might do another one, idk.

"And Senna sprints away—but Alain Prost takes the lead!"
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!!
I am Niki Lauda girlie🏎🎀
