Gorn, in his youth, fancied himself as an F1 driver. He produced some fastest Final Practice laptimes for Willams, then they suddenly refused to let him drive saying it was because he wouldn’t wear a crash helmet. He said it was “intentionally uncomfortable” and that “humans couldn’t stand an alien who drives better than them”. He departed earth bearing a grudge against humans. This was still apparent when Captain Kirk stunned him with the blast of a home made cannon.
