F1 2023 stuff not worthy of it's own thread

[caneparo]

Bottom post of the previous page:

The outer loop at Bahrain confirmed for race two, so Laudas 58:79 as the quickest ever F1 lap from Dijon in 1974 is in danger of falling by the wayside.

Soooooource!?

Here's the sauce.

At least there won’t be a difference between the normal race and the Covid era race. The crowd was lacking also before.

Crowds? What are they for? 2020 shows how F1 can easily dispense with on-site spectators, and work splendidly as a TV-only soporific.

I think you have posted in the wrong thread. It seems out of place here.
Maybe you meant to post here : viewtopic.php?p=387791#p387791

To be fair, I probably would do this sort of thing as well...

Renault to change name to Alpine next year. So we'll have the Alpine - Renault.

Kimi just posted this to Instastories:

1 WDC - 6 WDC's (and probably 8 in 15 months.)

Not much fun, is it?

In the 80s Prost looked like the boring one, now he'd be regarded as a maverick

Let me tell you: i was a Prost fan. Not a Senna fan.

I could tell, yes

Of course Lewis is launching his own clothing line....


But it's kind of the ethos of the different era's. the 1970s were about partying and freedom from convention.
Today it's about branding and building an empire beyond your current situation (all sportsmen and entertainers now have side businesses they invest in and run). Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) has his own gin company FFS.

It's just unfortunate that Lewis's brand is so goofy. Not sure who this appeals to? But looks like a set of Pajamas with a matching hat. It's like he's trying to be Kanye West, but just a bit less crazy...

Next it will be the "Lewis Hamilton Vegan cookbook in a bubble" (ideas your travelling chef can make). Plus "Your Dog should not eat meat"

They say a picture can tell a thousand words. I'm just glad I was young in the seventies, and not today.
