queen shit

©️ susie_wolff 10 years ago with @/williamsracing at the @/f1 British GP.. seems like another lifetime but I do have very vivid memories of the day.

Toto's parting words on arriving at the circuit - in his true direct Austrian style "Susie- don't be shit". He knew, just like I did, that 1 had to perform. That 1 had to deliver.

It was cut short 4 laps in by an engine failure. Huge disappointment after so much preparation and so much anticipation.

But after every disappointment and every failure, the true strength comes in picking yourself back up and coming back even stronger.

Just two weeks later I had another chance at the German GP in Hockenheim, finishing just 0.227s behind my team mate Felipe Massa.

So now, when people ask me, can women race in F1? I don't think they can. I know they can.

It's time for the next generation to progress and shine. With @/f1academy - we want to be the rocket fuel to progression in the sport both on and off track. To inspire and empower.

It's definitely not just a man's world anymore.

MIKA HÄKKINEN AND AYRTON SENNA Japanese Grand Prix October 24, 1993

AYRTON SENNA and MIKA HÄKKINEN JAPANESE GP 1993

i read three posts consecutively about 'max saying if he made ii into f1, Charles would too' and 'ayrton saying alain should not retire, he cant stop and they both are leagues above others' and 'Nico saying in my heart he is still my best friend'

I'm going to bawl. two of the three are tragedies. The very first one didnt let the bitterness of the world get to them when there was every reason to.

i think one of the most frustrating things about this is that oscar’s first win should’ve been about his phenomenal start and his superb tire management but it’s now going to be completely overshadowed by talking about team orders

Bono to Lewis: “sweet baby angel”

GP to Max: “ you fucking donkey”
