A driver with a fire extinguisher at Zandwoort while the marshalls are stand about idle? Not a great image.

That made me laugh out loud and my eyes water at the same time. Thanks for sharing.

Poor dote. Imagine if he had to work for a living. 🤪

There’s a documentary on Netflix at the minute, ‘The 24 Hour War’, which has a pretty good overview of the whole Ford / Ferrari battle. I recommend it.

This made me lol. Thank you!

Like the best drivers down through the ages, he is in the best car because he has proven himself as one of the best drivers. Rather churlish to suggest that he won’t deserve a WEC win.

Lando Norris is getting a run out in practice, yes?
