It's so sad to see that many important people on motorsport press didn't have the time to post a small note about Elio while they always have time to post about Senna EVERY year.
Also a shame that Elio's team mate in 1986 didn't remember him too (and he remembers Senna every year) and I think he should be the first to remember Elio (who knows the history knows why). It seems that now he only take parts in lives or tributes about Elio when feel the need to promote his son that is starting a career as a driver too.
All lives lost matters, a pity many don't acknowledge that.
From my part, while I can, I'll make sure to keep Elio's memory alive.
“It started to rain, I remember and I started to pass everybody. I was running on slicks. In the pits, they were saying `Michéle, you must stop`, but I didn’t want to because I was passing everyone.”
It’s a simple story. Girl meets boy. Boy asks girl for a date. He takes her rallying. Girl’s father doesn’t like boy. So he buys girl a racecar and tells her to go rallying on her own. Girl conquers the world of rallying.
and seb WAS that fucking friendly. he would follow lewis around like a lost puppy and eventually got to the point where he and lewis would watch football together. kimi of all people was friends with him. he would pick up a fire extinguisher and help the marshalls put out his own burning car. his mechanics in rbr loved him, and even almost two decades after his debut he would still be able to recall the names and ask about the families of his toro rosso and bmw mechanics. he is even still friends with beat zehnder and goes to fucking concerts with him, 15 years since he even joined bmw. just bc he was mean to mark webber and fernando alonso and nico rosberg doesnt mean he was fucking protomax. be fucking for real
Formula E Rookie Test line up forever iconic. There’s a formula 3 driver. A formula 2 driver. Another formula 2 driver. Possibly 5 more F2 and F3 drivers. Someone who’s won F2 and has been stuck in waiting since then. Someone who nearly won F2 and has been stuck in waiting since then. Someone’s brother. A nepo baby. Semi successful GT drivers. More children. ✨women✨
but also the fact that they dont do all north american races in a row in order to not fucking fly back and forth between continents in times of climate change and all of us trying to look after our co2 emissions
average country has 1 grand prix a year" factoid actually just statistical error. average country has 0 grand prix per year. Grand Prix Georg, which is the United States of America & has over 10,000 each year, is an outlier and should not have been counted
The FIA kicked up a massive fuss about Seb's same love t-shirt, and they kicked up an even bigger one about Lewis' Breonna Taylor shirt claiming that they don't do politics and yet Trump gets an invite to the grand Prix and wears his fucking maga hat (a political slogan!). Do you do politics or not F1??? We didn't race as one before and we certainly fucking don't now
So this wasn't allowed, called political, Seb literally got FINED FOR IT, but sure !!! Let the rapist, criminal ex president who staged a coup into your garage as a guest !!!
enough reclaiming slurs, I think in 2023 we should reclaim nascar. they banned the confederate flag on all properties & their stance on lgbtq+ isn’t just performative bc in 2013 they fined a driver 10k for using a homophobic slur, condemned indiana in a statement for an anti lgbt law, and partnered w carolina’s lgbt+ chamber of conference in 2022. nascar was founded by anti-cop moonshiners/bootleggers who drove suped-up fords to out-run the police. #yaaascar
