Mugello 2010 was a turning point in Valentino's career when he broke his leg and missed four races, the year his young teammate Jorge Lorenzo won his first MotoGP World Champion.

Meanwhile, Marc started his illustrious career at Mugello, winning his first Grand Prix and kicking off a five-race winning streak. Keep in mind that in his first two years in 125cc, he finished 13th and 8th in the overall standings.

It was at Sachsenring in 2010 that Valentino made his comeback from injury and was the first time he witnessed Marc win.

i’ve been looking thru seb’s website on the wayback machine and PLEASE his diary entry after turkey 2010 is SO GOOD

Hallo! You all saw what happened. Those were moments in a race where you withdraw for the first 20 minutes without running straight into the cameras. That's why I often feel sorry for football players who, pumped full of adrenaline right after the final whistle, give interviews that they might later regret. Still, I didn't make a mistake.  I was much faster than Mark. I'll try to see things positively now, because I've found the speed with my car that I lacked in the last two races. It's going to be difficult in Canada with the long straights, but I'll go on the offensive again... Your Sebastian

and a couple pics from his gallery for the race:

@fortheloveofaussiegrit 's deep dive into Mark and his love of twinks...

Sebastian Vettel 

Where does one even start when trying to explain this... that's his twink of the past, present, and future— his forever. [first: debatable but the beginning of martian at the Fuji GP 2007 when Seb crashed into the back of Mark ruining both of their races, they were running 2nd and third. second: the day i lost my sanity, Abu Dhabi 2022]

Oscar Piastri

His twink of the present [i don't think i need to say anything... but photos above are from Mark's website from his blog post about Oscar winning the F2 championship and how Mark stayed in Abu Dhabi with Oscar after the GP for the young driver f1 test...]

Mitch Evans

Without Mitch we wouldn’t have got Oscar/Mark... (this is what oscarmark could’ve been but not sure i would’ve been able to handle oscar posting mark the way mitch did) Started in 2010, Mark then went on to manage him and Mitch even moved into Mark’s home in England, down the drive but point still stands [first: Mark Webber takes protege on birthday tour, 2010 (speedcafe.com) second: Mark embracing Mitch after he took maiden victory in Formula E, 2019 (📷Sam Bloxham) bottom two: from Mitch’s IG circa 2014] 

Daniel Ricciardo

i like that belt buckle mate [first/second: F1 Paddock 2013 (📷skysports.com) third: Mark & Daniel’s BBQ on the beach ahead of the Aus GP 2011 (📷flickr) fourth/fifth: Dutch GP 2022.]

 

Fernando Alonso

again do i need to say anything? i think this sums it up (thank you to @seafoampearlygirl for the screen shot and your help too, much appreciated!!

and this... [Jenson Button, Giancarlo Fisichella, Fernando Alonso & Mark Webber for Benetton Renault 2001 F1 launch]

Lewis Hamilton

If there's one thing about Mark that you need to know its his love of twinks with world championships... @mwebber​ has a post here on these two! Mark always loves talking about Lewis and the way they look at each other.. [first: Mark and Lewis during the post-qualy presser at the Spanish GP, 2010 (📷Sutton Images) second: during the pre-race presser at the Aus GP, 2013 (📷Hoch Zwei) third: Abu Dhabi GP, 2017 (📷James Moy)]

Nico Rosberg

from teammates at Williams to Mark snapping pics of the back of Nico in 2023… [first: Mark talking to test driver Nico Rosberg during the German GP, 2005 (📷Pakusch) second: Monaco ePrix 2023]

Max Verstappen

like i said... twinks with championships [first: ‘bumped into these two over easter and managed a few k on the trails’ Apr, 2018 (Mark’s FB) second: Hangar-7, 2019]

Felipe Massa 

yeah... [first: Brazil 2012, i think (📷sky-sports.com) second: Brazil 2013 (📷xpb images)]

Brendon Hartley 

he’s already featured a few times, but from rbr junior driver to teammate... yeah.. is there a pattern? [first: Spanish GP 2009 (📷DPPI Images) second: Brendon, Mark & Timo after winning the 6 hours of Bahrain and the WEC Drivers Championship 2015 (📷fiawec.com)]

Jenson Button

and finally we get to Jenson Button, who, yes, is younger than Mark so makes it onto the list... the ultimate twink on twink... you cannot tell me this wasnt a couples holidays covered up as ‘training’. you cannot tell me they were not fumbling around in their bedsheets at night. you cannot tell me— [redacted redacted redacted] — [pre-season training session in Lanzarote, Spain. 4 Jan 2001 📷Mark Thompson]

The Schumacher Dragon: Michael

In August 2009, when Michael was working towards a comeback, it was reported in a Chinese newspaper that he had ordered 3 "Chinese style" helmets. The article reported that Michael had said, "When I first went to China, a newspaper drew a dragon as my symbol." Later that year, he also spoke about this helmet in the lead up to ROC, which was held in Beijing that year.

However, the first glimpse of the dragon logo appears to have been in July 2004. At the German GP, Michael was seen with a temporary tattoo on his right forearm with the logo.

He would win the 2004 WDC two races later, at Spa. Following that at the Italian GP in Monza, the dragon would appear as a logo for the first time, on the back of his baseball cap.

The week after that marked the occasion of the first Chinese GP in Shanghai. It was here that the dragon logo would appear on his helmet for the first time. It appeared on the top of the helmet, temporarily replacing his seven stars, as well as on either side of the helmet.

This initial iteration of the dragon logo had, in addition to the large “力”, the character for “strength”, it also includes four characters - "迈舒马赫", which roughly translates to "Mike Schumacher". This would later be removed.

The dragon would not be seen on his helmet throughout 2005, but Michael continued using it on his personal merchandise. It featured both on the back of his cap, and also on his drivers shoes.

This continued into 2006, where it again featured on his caps.

However, Michael also opted to subtly incorporate the dragon back into his helmet design for 2006. This new design featured two large dragons, as well as the names of his family in Chinese (Mick “米克” and Michael “米克尔” on the right, and Gina “吉娜” and Corinna “科琳娜” on the left).

A special version of this helmet was commissioned for his final race for Ferrari, and to mark his first retirement, this time with the dragon and his family’s names featured in gold. It also included a list of his race victories around the top of the helmet.

During his retirement in 2007-2008, Michael was still frequently seen around the track in his new capacity as an adviser to Ferrari. He continued featuring the dragon as part of his personal branding.

Michael also tested for Ferrari during both seasons to help with development. During at least one of these testing sessions, Ferrari had it placed on the engine cover.

As mentioned earlier, Michael was planning a return to F1 in 2009 to replace the injured Felipe Massa, though that was ultimately called off due to a neck injury suffered earlier that year. However, pictures from when he was karting in August 2009 showed the “Chinese style” helmet he had planned to use. It was very similar to the helmet design he last used in 2006, but with details in white instead.

Michael made a return to F1 with Mercedes, driving with them from 2010 to 2012. He used pretty much the same helmet design throughout this time, with 2010 featuring the more subtle red version of the helmet:

And 2011 featuring more or less the same design in silver:

2011 was also Michael’s 20th year in F1. For this, a specially designed gold-plated helmet was commissioned and used at the Belgian GP.

He returned to the silver dragon for the rest of his time in F1, with the exception of one more custom helmet made to commemorate his 300th F1 race at the Belgian GP in 2012:

Michael also continued to feature the dragon on both his shoes and gloves, seen here in 2010 and 2011:

You’ll notice that for a brief period of time, Michael went back to the original iteration of the logo featuring the additional four Chinese characters, "迈舒马赫", translating to his name.

Although Michael retired at the end of the 2012 season, that was not yet the end of the dragon in motorsport. Michael used it one last time on his race suit at the Race of Champions in 2012, which he and Sebastian Vettel won for Team Germany.

Apparently a post is limited to 30 images, so on to Part 2: Mick!

On This Day in F1: March 8th

Present: Saudi Arabia Day 2

History: 1998 Australian Grand Prix

March 8th, 2024 had free practice 3 and qualifying for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

The big news of the day was Carlos Sainz having appendicitis and Ollie Bearman filling in for him. Now is this just another outcome of Alex Albon’s famous appendix? Or will we be seeing a new line of dominoes falling into place in the coming months? Only time will tell.

Timing remains essential to the 1998 Australian Grand Prix.

On March 8th, 1998, Albert Park (then called the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit) hosted the 1998 season opener. The race was dominated by the McLaren-Mercedes team with its two drivers taking home a 1-2 finish.

While it was no surprise that a McLaren driver took the chequered flag first, there was controversy surrounding it.

For the first half of the Grand Prix, Mika Hakkinen was leading the race. However, on lap 36, he lost the lead due to coming into the pits after a misheard call. This led to Hakkinen's teammate, David Coulthard, leading the race.

Coulthard had a 12-second lead that was reduced to 2 seconds by lap 55. On the front straight during lap 56, Coulthard let Hakkinen pass him. This move and the pre-season agreement between drivers - whoever led the first corner would win the race - drew great controversy and race-fixing allegations.

McLaren Team Boss, Ron Dennis, spoke on the controversy and claimed that someone else had tapped into their team radios which led to Hakkinen losing the lead and coming into the pits.

"We do not and have not manipulated Grands Prix unless there were some exceptional circumstances, which occurred in Australia [1998] when someone had tapped into our radio and instructed Mika Häkkinen to enter the pits."

Eventually, they would go in front of the World Motorsport Council where the verdict was "any future act prejudicial to the interests of competition should be severely punished in accordance with article 151c of the International Sporting Code." Team orders remained controversial in Formula One and were banned following the 2002 Austrian Grand Prix. It wasn't until after the 2010 German Grand Prix that they were allowed again.

In 2023, Hakkinen spoke about the 1998 Australian GP and the agreement that he had with Coulthard:

"The team said something on the radio, I was confused, I thought they asked me to come to change tyres and that was not the case. They were just giving me some different information. So I just drove through the pit lane and I of course lost the lead of the race, David got the lead."

"We were sitting on the front row, me and David – and we just made a deal. The driver who was first at the first corner when the race starts, that driver is going to win the Grand Prix. There's not going to be any fight. We had a deal, so David had to let me past – brilliant!"

Sebastian Vettel - Farewell The day has come that almost no one would have wanted, but like every cycle in life, it has to end. Sebastian Vettel has completed his 299th race in F1, it has been 16 years where Seb has made a turning point among all the champions that Formula 1 has had, being one of the youngest in history, and from then on, several champions after him have achieved this with almost the age that Vettel was when he did it in 2010 The German has belonged to 5 teams since his debut in 2007, and in each of them he left a legacy that all those teams will be able to remember about him. Seb won 4 drivers' championships, all with Red Bull from 2010 to 2013, we are talking about an era where the dominance of the energy drink brand was overwhelming, and Sebastian was a key part of it. Vettel in this last stage in F1 with Aston Martin, has been involved in actions in favor of environmental conservation and other social causes, each helmet he wore in the races contained an important message to raise awareness of the current situation we’re experiencing, our planet or specifically the country where F1 disputed the GP's. Sebastian has been a empathetic, friendly and supportive guy who has been very close to the young fans off the track, and many of these actions are the ones that we will remember the most from the German in this definitive retirement from motorsport. He will be missed, more than for being a driver who gave his maximum effort in each car that he competed in these 16 years, and his 4 championships, a living legend who was able to achieve everything in a short period of time. Formula 1 has many legends, and Vettel is part of that select list, along with the other 33 drivers that he memorized perfectly in that "Grill the Grid" last year. Danke Seb. Danke für alles. 🇩🇪5️⃣🇩🇪5️⃣🇩🇪5️⃣🇩🇪5️⃣🇩🇪5️⃣🇩🇪5️⃣🇩🇪5️⃣🇩🇪5️⃣🇩🇪5️⃣🇩🇪5️⃣🇩🇪5️⃣🇩🇪5️⃣🇩🇪5️⃣🇩🇪5️⃣
