Peter Collins Lore ✨️

Thought Peter's dad ran a garage that allowed Peter access into motorsports, and supported him with him, Peter would not get along with his dad often. Peter's dad was known to be quite rude and did not approve of Peter's marriage to Louise Collins.

Peter and Louise met once at a gathering but didn't think much of it. A few years later Stirling Moss invited Peter to a party where Louise Collins was going to be and when they saw each other it was love at first sight. A week later they were married.

Louise felt like she had to be at every one of Peter's races because she worried if she was not at one he could get hurt.

Peter loved the sea and swimming, and him and Louise brought a boat called "Mipooka" which they would travel to different GP's on, other drivers like Mike Hawthorn would join them on their travels.

Peter Collins became very close to Enzo Ferrari's dying son, Dino Ferrari, and he works often visit Dino in hospital. Dino woule get Peter to go to the cinema and watch films so he could come back and recount the film to Dino.

When Dino passed away, the next race in France Peter wore a black arm band in honour of Dino. He won that race.

After Dino's death Enzo Ferrari saw Peter Collins like a son, because he appreciated Peter's friendship with Dino. He insisted Peter move into an apartment near Enzo's house and Peter would wake up at times to find Enzo in the apartment folding his clothes and making him breakfast.

It's believed that Enzo did not like it when Peter married Louise as he felt that Louise was a distraction and that Peter spent more time away from the apartment. Louise insisted this was never the case though and Enzo and his wife were always very nice.

One time Enzo got very mad at Peter when during a race he felt that Peter purposely crashed a car to not race and get home early with Mike Hawthorn. So next race Enzo took away his f1 seat and demoted him to f2. Mike Hawthorn said he would not drive if Peter couldn't drive and when Peter did extremely well in f2 to prove a point he was given his seat back again.

In 1956 Peters teammate was Fangio. Peter was in the running to become world champion that year, Brittan's first, however when he came into the pit and found that Fangio's car was broken he jumped out and gave his car to Fangio, insisting that he had more years to win the championship and it was only right for Fangio to have the car.

In 1957 when Fangio left Ferrari, Peter Collins would have been #1 driver for the team but instead he went and told Mike Hawthorn who needed a drive to contact Ferrari as there was going to be a free seat, and because Mike was more experienced he became #1 driver (though Enzo always said that there was never rankings)

In the Ferrari film, Peter Collins is featured a lot and they even recreate a famous photo of Enzo and Peter within the film.

Peter loved solving puzzles and Mike wrote in his book the day he died Peter was really happy to have solved a metal puzzle he was working on.

A woman claimed that Peter had promised to marry her when he suddenly married Louise Collins but he insisted that was not the case.

He lived in France for a while to avoid the conscription for the British army. Though Mike Hawthorn was critisied heavily for not doing it (though he had a valid reason) people seemed to forget about Peter Collins.

Peter knew about Mike Hawthorn's kidney issue and knew that Mike would not be able to race another season in F1 as he was becoming too ill, so he was likely determined to try and help Mike win the world championship even though he could have won in 1958 as well.

Peter and Louise brought a house right before he passed away, it was likely he was thinking of retiring from F1 soon.

While racing Mike and Peter would have fun constantly letting the other one pass, it was like a game to them.

He was the governor of a local school and very involved with it. Even though he didn't like school himself he felt it important to encourage children to do well.

Enzo Ferrari said he would go with Louise to the next GP race, breaking his rule of never going to the actual races. However while she went, he never turned up.

Fangio was just an insane guy, he started competing in f1 in his forties, outdriving his fitter and younger rivals every single time. He broke his neck but came back to f1 a year later and won 4 consecutive titles. When he was at ferrari he would fight with enzo constantly bc he didnt want to follow his strategies. Then he left ferrari for maserati and enzo called him a whore for not being loyal to only one team. At one point he got kidnapped at the cuban gp and asked the kidnappers not to take stirling moss as well because he had just gotten married and he didnt want them to ruin the mood!! Then he said he was treated very well and became friends with one of his kidnappers LMAO

I swear somewhere this works.

In a parallel universe or another world,

Or a different life,

We sit across from each other

at the kitchen table

And go over

The grocery

list.

Nigel: Why are people so obsessed with top or bottom? Honestly, I would be excited just to have a bunk bed.

Everyone:

Gilles: I'm gonna tell him.

Elio with a knife: Don't you dare.
