6. Favourite team principal?cyril abiteboul and fred vasseur. notice a trend here....

20. What do you think about your F1 commentator(s)?i think i get sky sports now? i don’t really pay attention to them honestly i just watch the race and the commentators are background noise. i really miss the old NBC guys though (will buxton, leigh diffey, david hobbs, & steve matchett) 

24. Do you do any F1 fan creativity yourself (arts, fanfics, handmade stuff, videos etc.)?do my memes count as “fan creativity” lmfao? if so, that’s pretty much it. also maybe my redbubble store but i don’t really add to that anymore and all my best designs were taken down thanks to that new law or whatever in the UK 

26. Let’s imagine that you’ve suddenly met your favourite driver. What would you like to say to him and how do you imagine your meeting in general?i don’t know honestly i’ve met some of my favorite indycar drivers and didn’t know what to say. i’m so shy and so terrified of being an inconvenience that i probably wouldn’t say much, just ask for a quick selfie or autograph, thank them profusely, and then get our of their way. that’s basically what i did when i met simon and robbie lol. 

send me F1 asks

The Goodwood Revival is over for another year, and Crosthwaite & Gardiner has come away with great results from the three entered cars. First was the Type 51 Bugatti which was placed in the Goodwood Trophy. Here it had a challenging time a...gainst far newer and more powerful machinery, however the result was promising for the car, driver and owner as laptimes would have placed it second in March's all-Bugatti race. The weekend also proved that a few minor adjustments made since last month's testing have worked, with the car returning faultless reliability. As part of its paddock position, driver Simon Diffey had Merry Printers produce a poster of the very car in period at the Brooklands 500, 1932; a photo that was recreated at the weekend to be displayed alongside in future. The other two vehicles that C&G were running for the weekend was a pair of Formula One Scarabs, piloted by father and son Don and Patrick Orosco. After practice/qualifying the pair were placed in nine and 10th respectively for the Richmond Trophy. A promising race start for both resulted in Patrick gaining five places and eventually finishing in fourth despite fuel starvation problems, while Don gained an incredible fourteen places to finish just behind in fifth, making them the first Scarabs home. Patrick also achieved the fastest lap, achieving a remarkable average speed of over 100mph. The Richmond Trophy was coincidentally won by the Lotus 16 of Roger Wills, which uses a newly C&G-manufactured Coventry Climax 2.2-litre engine and Lotus Queerbox
