FRANÇOIS CEVERT, 1972

Yknow if you think hard enough, The Bird Song by Noah Floersch can absolutely make reference to Villeroni, Prosenna and Brocedes just hear me out about this-

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

“Look me in the eye, are you gonna stay by my side? We’ll spend the night together, together, together under the stars.”

first ever f1 fanart i made and hopefully a bit more on the way! I could talk about these three for a good bit honestly i just hate them

(quote is from the song Under The Stars (Canción de Alicia) by richardvox!)

here are some of my favourite facts about the most equivocally ferrari driver to ever exist, gilles villeneuve.

instead of karting, he made his start in snowmobile racing which is why he was so rapid in corners and ballsy in the wet.

he mortgaged his house to buy a helicopter that he flew to races. to announce his arrival to the paddock he would do a fly-by as low to the ground as possible.

when he wasn’t flying helicopters he used to park his road cars by doing a 180° skid into the parking spot which drove enzo ferrari MAD.

once he drag raced his 1981 car (big red cadillac my beloved) against a supersonic airfighter, won and did a bunch of high speed doughnuts at the end of the runway.

this one time he took a couple of his sponsors on a joyride around toronto in one of their shitbox sedans. he literally went on verges and shit to go past traffic.

he played the trumpet bc why not.

literally just the entire zandfoort saga. crazy little man.

also i cannot express this enough; EVERYONE loved him. literally the drivers, team bosses, mechanics, you name it. the og small chaotic pleasant guy of the grid. we miss you gilles and ferrari are still not over you!!

I am barking so loudly that the car alarms are going off outside my house

Please, you are my hope to save my family from hunger and death

I hope that my message reaches all the free people in the world and those with compassionate hearts. I ask you to save my family, because they are in danger.

Every day we face death. the situation is dangerous. There are no necessities of life. No food, no milk, no diapers, no medicine. All goods are at ridiculous prices. My little daughter has hepatitis C, and she suffers from a high temperature and lethargy in her body. The fear of losing her became very terrifying for me.

Living in Gaza is very stressful. This war kills without mercy. We are in very great danger. Bombs are over our heads

Every minute poses a threat to my life and the lives of my family, so I ask you to help me quickly. Your contribution, no matter how small, can make a big difference in their lives. Or share this link with your network.

Thank you for your kindness and support of my story

everybody quiet i'm thinking about how jackie stewart didn't want to get attached to other drivers but he couldn't resist becoming françois' friend and then he lost him and years later he met didier pironi and told him to always contact him before making career-altering decisions because he wanted to help him and eventually he lost didier too
