The next painting is entitled…
‘Forlorn Hope’
A soldier, combatant, or in this case team principal, chosen to take the vanguard in a military operation, such as a suicidal assault through the kill zone of a defended position, or the first men to climb a scaling ladder against a defended fortification, where the risk of casualties is high

The Alfa Romeo staff seemed unfazed, as Vasseur picked up a water gun and yelled “last man standing gets the Ferrari team principal job!”

Vasseur will make sure there is water on track in case his engineers decide to put inter tyres in the car of any Monegasque driver for the start of any given Q3.

@al-perry Neither edit nor delete functions are available (to anyone).
I’m old but I do know sometimes it’s harder to add in functions that MAY not have been in the original design, than saying ok here’s a few new functions for you. Whether that is or is part of the reason I know not. Just a thought.
