This is Josef Newgarden, you might remember him from his hilarious incognito videos on YouTube, and his Harlem Shake, both that we feature a while back. Now he’s back with another new hilarious video, featuring a day in the life of a racing driver.
So it may not be entirely accurate but it sure is funny…
This is Formula Vee driver Steve Jones, you may have noticed his videos in our sidebar, that’s because as well as being a bloody good racing driver he’s friends with us here at WTF1. After a spin in race one, Steve started race two from last place… he won.
Even cooler than that, he had an onboard helmet camera catching the whole thing. Click below to see this damn impressive drive.
Some complain about the Pirelli tyres ruining F1 qualifying but things could be a whole lot worse. The Salzburgring round of the WTCC saw probably one of the weirdest qualifying sessions ever with drivers not wanting to be leading during their lap, as they’d get slipstreamed.
It resulted in everyone driving as slow as possible until they all ran out of time to do a lap. Epic fail.
If you’re into Retro Formula One stuff and want something a million times more bad-ass than a JPS Lotus mug, well you’re in luck. A truck that transported Ferrari F1 and sports cars around in the late nineteen-sixties has been put up for sale.
The price is ‘contact us’ which of course translates to an absolute shit load. I don’t care, just tell me what body parts I need to sell to buy it…
The NASCAR world has been left in shock from the death of Dick Trickle, a suicide from a self inflicted gun shot wound. Dick was a legendary driver in NASCAR not for his success but his personality, competing for 24 years in NASCAR racing
If you think tweeting during a race was crazy, Trickle drilled a whole in his own crash helmet so he could have a smoke during the yellow flag periods! In the 1990 Winston 500, he was caught on live TV doing it, and below is the video.
More weird F1 advertising for you now, with the trailer for the Monaco Grand Prix on German TV channel RTL. For some strange reason, it features Nico Rosberg speeding around Monaco on a shopping trolley and he doesn’t seem to be able to stop.
Either that or it’s Mercedes’ new drastic way of reducing tyre wear…
