Ah yes, the turbo fan

Was the BT46B ever raced? And if so, for how long? I think it was the 1978 season?

[past drift]

just 1 race, the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix

which it won

Bernie’s only cool thing that he did in f1

[past drift]

pulling it off?

he's the one who did that

[austere mesa]

He owned Brabham at the time

[past drift]

i know

[desert plover]

and also hiring Sid Watkins, who saved lots of F1 drivers lives

which he started at the 1978 swedish grand prix haha

[thorny crystal]

miracle it didn't get dsq'd

[drifting imp]

Wasn't that component banned the very next race?

[thorny crystal]

yes, but the win was kept

because they somehow made the fan not coming off as a moving aero piece

Oh and before the race
Alain Prost had to drive Senna to the track for that race because their planes landed at the same airport at pretty much the same time

Ayrton then proceeded to drive him off the track in the first lap and Alain got 15th

O dia em que dois gigantes se encontraram na pista (literalmente! 💥)
​Em 1983, a Fórmula 3 em Oulton Park foi palco de um dos momentos mais icônicos da rivalidade entre Ayrton Senna e Martin Brundle. Uma colisão impressionante tirou ambos da corrida, mas, felizmente, os dois saíram ilesos. 🏎️💨
​Aquele ano foi uma verdadeira ba...

Can't park your car there mate

[half spindle]

Don't know if this actually raced or it's some car painted as a race one

[analog rover]

that's more of a rally car but still cool as hell to see

[analog rover]

I love hearing the pilot strike of 1982 all the time because

Niki was voted as the spokesperson of the drivers and was basically appointed as the babysitter.

Prost shared a bed with Villeneuve and Tambay reportedly said “If those two have kids after this, I might as well retire now.”

De Angelis played the piano for them

They started writing notes asking for drivers to apply to them since the cars were ready but there was nobody to drive them.

Look at the joy and whimsy on Alain's face dealing with the kind wonderful Canadian that is Gilles!

Suddenly
The Brazilian of sadness and despair

[unborn swan]

LAST F1 podium without European driver in the 1990 Japanese Grand Prix where 🇧🇷Nelson Piquet take the win, 🇧🇷Roberto Moreno take P2 and 🇯🇵Aguri Suzuki take P3(the first and only podium of Lamborghini V12 in F1)

[grizzled dock]

Just started watching, when does this “Ayrton Senna” guy show up?

Prost experiencing sadness and despair

And yes the sadness is generational brought on by the Senna family

[analog rover]

Nelson Piquet faints on the podium and Prost reminds everyone how incredibly French he is

[past drift]

by doing what? 😵‍💫

[analog rover]

Exactly. By doing nothing while the other driver in second place goes to try and help him stay upright and catch him when he falls and the others check on him

Alain just sits down looking done with this shit

[past drift]

i cant find what race that is

[austere mesa]

1982 Brazilian gp

[past drift]

ah right he was not the winner, that's what confused me

but the blue overalls led me to think it was 1982

[analog rover]

He's so silly for that pose tho

[austere mesa]

Yeah I had to look up where did piquet fainted to figure out the race

[idle gale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9BEDYIstJg

[sour moon]

Maybe he just didn’t like piquet

[analog rover]

Alain always fuckin around with Piquet

He says that then shares a mattress with Gilles Villeneuve who is shirtless in the back

[sour moon]

Note how he shares a bed with Villeneuve, not Piquet though

[analog rover]

Niki the babysitter and all the other drivers apparently getting freaky as several "report"

So Niki isn't a good babysitter

[sour moon]

Why not they were all adults

[sour moon]

Also piquet is probably a raging queerphobe so this sounds more like Prost is laughing at him rather than with him ngl

[analog rover]

he wins and he looks miserable 😭

He's 4 champagne bottles tall

[desert plover]

Wait really

On instagram?

[analog rover]

Ya

He's so awesome for that

[desert plover]

That's pretty awesome 😄

[analog rover]

He's so tuff

[desert plover]

Yeah he's easily a top 5 driver of all time, I mean he somehow won four championships with the likes of Ayrton Senna, Niki Lauda, Nigel Mansell, and Keke Rosberg being his teamate, definitely my GOAT

[analog rover]

Raced for years with no major injuries

Breaks his nose in 2017 in his bathroom

That's my French king right there

[desert plover]

"I got four world titles without injury, now I break my nose in the bathroom, I'm not pleased with that!"

[analog rover]

He's such a recognizable driver too like I immediately saw him with 3 pixels

[analog rover]

Is he ever pleased?

He looks sad all the time

[analog rover]

Sometimes I get to see Alain wearing his glasses and I celebrate in joy

Alain prost needing glasses is so funny cus that means he was racing half blind 😭
"I actually should wear prescription glasses, but I don't. I've got like a perfect view I just struggle a bit more to see perfectly."

If I was the biggest Alain prost fan ever back when I was forced to learn French in school

I would know so much French istg

[crisp hazel]

🥹 Then u would also understand meeeee (YES. I speak frenchhh)

[analog rover]

I wish I knew what he was saying in that voice

[crisp hazel]

I could translate lolol

[analog rover]

I genuinely love the way he speaks
It's so soft!!! Even in mclaren tooned they asked him to sound angry and even then his voice is soft and he doesn't sound mad at all

[crisp hazel]

So he said tis: First of all, it’s very symbolic because I started out with Renault, and it was with Renault that I won this latest world championship title. I came down to Place de la Concorde to receive my award in a few minutes, and it’s especially symbolic in front of all these fans, all these people who came to applaud me along with my car, and especially to say thank you to me. That really touched me a lot

[analog rover]

Oh my goddd that's so sweet

[crisp hazel]

YESSS IK, WHOLESOME <333

[analog rover]

Niki Lauda found his sweetness suspicious but quickly realized Alain is genuinely just a nice little Frenchman and became a mentor to him

Niki was the ultimate grid mother
He was grid mother before max was

but Alain genuinely is so sweet and wholesome
He was scared to go to Brazil for Senna's funeral because he was his rival but then they happily accepted him and let him say his goodbyes and he says Brazil is like a second home to him now

MY SHAYLAAAAA
THEY COULD NEVER MAKE ME HATE YOU ALAIN

If it helps I'm half French Canadian 👀
That's like Gilles Villeneuve

[crisp hazel]

SAME OMG. AYYYY

[analog rover]

Eyyy peak

Found this while exploring the Canberra National Museum collection. This is Jack Brabham's Tasman series car

Senninha is adorable because all he feels is joy and whimsy and also sheer violent rage for his rival

He has caused physical harm to his rival

But at some points they are also close friends

Hmm...I wonder who the inspiration was

[idle gale]

Feels like this is turning into an Alain Prost exclusive channel now.

You know, speaking of Alain, there were talks of Alain becoming the Team Boss while he was a driver at Ferrari. But this was also at the time where Alain had high tensions with Ferrari

Which is sort of ironic especially how Alain proposed to change Ferrari's culture which happened when Ross Brawn came into the Scuderia years later

[analog rover]

Ayrton Senna's girlfriend Xuxa had a picture of Ayrton in her room when they dated. She also had a picture of JFK Jr (who she had a fling with once)

Ayrton was reportedly jealous of him and she would assure Ayrton saying "look! Your picture is bigger!"

They also have an Ayrton Senna horse in uma musume. Silence Suzuka.

in 95 really?

He was supposed to join in 1994 but they didn't have room so he said he'd join Williams until they did

Twin started Karting at age 14 and still became peak

You will have a chance still if you are 14

Also remember that even if you a grown ass adult
You can still enjoy karting

Some pictures of Alain in his karting days at the ages of 17, 18 and 20

He was kicked out of football due to a knee injury and discovered karting on vacation somewhere in Europe and so he lied to his parents about going out to places so they'd give him money and he saved up for his first kart his friend was selling. Yes his parents thought he was crazy and it was a phase and his mom was terrified

[past drift]

it was at a time when the sports wasn’t really professional

[past drift]

dont forget the role of his brother in that! he’s very important in this story

[analog rover]

Wish his brother got to see him win his championships

ALL of them
Not just the one

[analog rover]

Yeah his brother introduced him to it didn't he?

[past drift]

yes, and because he was sick Alain was very motivated to grt better to make him proud

and live the life his brother wanted on his behalf, in a way

[grizzled glade]

I love F1, I really do. I do think it's one of the best racing series out there, it's great fun. However it kind of irks me when people say it's, "the pinnacle of motorsport". First, there are so many motorsport disciplines out there it's impossible to say one is definitively the greatest. F1 drivers are extremely impressive, but so is rally racing, so is Indycar or endurance racers like Le Man & Daytona, etc. etc. etc. etc. However, some say F1 is the pinnacle because they're some of the fastest and they're constantly developing. But, if that is the metric, Can-Am is unequivocally the peak of motorsport. There has never been a series before or since like it. It is the closest we've came to a motorsport competition that had no rules other than, "Develop the fastest car possible and drive it well".

[wintry vapor]

well, the F1 it's the co-pinnacle of motorsport, the others co-pinnacles is: NASCAR, WRC, and the WEC. and that it's a fact

btw; Can-Am don't exist by the 80s

sorry for my bad english

heavy is the crown 😔

[analog rover]

And tiny is the Frenchman

[past drift]

he didnt have the long hair à la Brian May then, it woukd have fit otherwise

[analog rover]

Niki then committed atrocities

OH MY GOD ALAIN WAS AT NIKIS FUNERAL TOO IM GOING TO CRY

Alain has lost pretty much all of his best friends atp

Also here's the entire coverage of Ayrton's funeral if anyone was interested

https://youtu.be/lXHFe1Ef6GA?si=8WLhTRsXZh-JHKsn

They did play a special version of his theme song

Tema Da vitòria

[analog rover]

Anniversary of Rubens barrichello's non fatal crash at Imola

The start of the worst weekend in F1 history

[fleet wigeon]

And Lucky he escaped this one

[idle gale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18Lz1lUKcgY

[analog rover]

It is also the anniversary of Ayrton Senna's last ever pole position

He managed to get pole during a qualifying session on Friday

[analog rover]

Ig for the anniversary they whipped out his nephew and put him in the freak machine (it's called that cus Ayrton liked to drive into Frenchmen with it)

Ayrton was secretly the inspiration for the current Mercedes drivers

[past drift]

he was clearly ahead of the frenchmen in 1991 🤔

[desert plover]

RIP Roland

[woven zinc]

RIP Roland Ratzenberger 🫡 🕊️

[analog rover]

32 years without Ayrton.
32 years since Brazil lost their shining star.
32 years since we lost the greatest talent ever seen in F1.
32 years since Alain lost one of his best friends.

May he rest in peace 🇧🇷❤️‍🩹🕊️

[amber bluff]

man 93 was truly the end of an era

the adelaide 93 podium is bittersweet

[shy stag]

Senna e Ratzemberger 🇧🇷🇦🇹

Forever😢

Man May 1st as well, that day is cursed

[tame current]

Aaaaw fuck, im actually devastated hearing this news
RIP to a legend

[coarse forge]

RIP to the man who stood up everytime he had trouble in his career, he was really an amazing human being with a great personality
Oh man in these types of situations it is never easy to find words
May he rest in peace

[naive storm]

RIP 🥺

[analog rover]

Niki Lauda was genuinely the king of pettyness

Apparently whenever his second wife asked him to do something he didn't feel like doing

He'd play this song

😭😭😭😭

Twin was funny asf

Same guy btw

I just know homegirl got so tired of it man 😭

Definitely still made him do what she asked and he still happily did it for sure

[hallow oasis]

checked this chat for the first time to see if there was some alain stuff, i see it’s only alain stuff, what a time to be alive

You're blessed to be in a server with the #1 Prost fan

Me when I have to channel my inner Prost

His little wave

Please Alain give me a chance (to meet you in person)

[distant patio]

there's been a bit of crossover between IndyCar and F1

remember, Jim Clark drove this in the 1965 Indy 500

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqY7k9UPooA since F1 is coming to Montreal soon, how about we look back at one of the most insane finishes the track has had no matter what category it is?

Canadian stock car legend Kerry Micks managed to pull off this insane win in 2007 against IndyCar star Andrew Ranger

[half spindle]

Before this guy @analog rover entered the server the chat was very dead ngl

[analog rover]

I'm glad I provided life

[half spindle]

Finding something here was like finding diamonds

[analog rover]

Here's a picture of niki in the snow!

I'm genuinely addicted to Alain Prost

[analog rover]

OH MY GOD BODY TEAAAA

Niki being the co-driver is funny asf and they definitely did that on purpose for shits and giggles

[tame current]

That was crazy!!

[tame current]

Niki posting in theme of today's race

[distant patio]

Sure was and there are more. The O'Reilly Series had some insane finishes as well. 2009 with Carl Edwards making a Wall of Champions last lap pass on Australian Supercars ace Marcos Ambrose for the win and 2010 when Boris Said (son of F1 driver Bob Said) managed to make the same pass against Max Papis. All the while on the final few laps, 1997 F1 champion Jacques Villeneuve almost won that race.

[fleet wigeon]

He's such a Diva

[half spindle]

Average red bull soapbox racing car

[analog rover]

Realizing a majority of pictures of Niki laughing in his career are with James

James was one of the only guys to really get a good strong laugh out of Niki

I genuinely love their friendship

[grizzled glade]

Alright boys, I made a meme. Declare you allegiances now, or suffer the consequences. (F190 all the way btw)

[desert plover]

Both cuz Prost drove them

[analog rover]

YOU'RE SO INCREDIBLY REAL DUDE

[analog rover]

Just a reminder Niki Lauda is buried in the race suit he wore from 1974-1977

Speaking of Niki Lauda

Tuff pic

And he did vacation with James once from what it looks like

Probably joked about James getting sunburn and saying they were matching

[half spindle]

Really?

[analog rover]

It was his wish

Nobody disrespects a drivers death wish. Look at prost keeping Senna's secret still!

And nobody disrespects Niki

[analog rover]

https://youtu.be/_JBiIWuE7Bo?si=gE4FTSRIG_CBKWtI

This entire thing is great

[past drift]

so despite all that happened, his fave years are the Ferrari years?

[analog rover]

Of course

Because those are also the same years he got to race against James hunt

His best friend

I love doomed bromance with a bittersweet ending

And doomed bromance no comfort sad ending

The fact Ayrton is looking at the papers reading it but Alain is looking at HIM

[analog rover]

Rip James hunt you would have loved getting accepted into the bergheim club

[analog rover]

Rip Niki

But this photo is great in 3 ways

The bright rainbow umbrella in the back

Lewis looking like he's about to reveal your next spy mission

And Alain is 3 Apples tall

The best thing to come out of Austria since Mozart

[hallow oasis]

LMAO i see it 😭

[faint matrix]

the names hamilton...

lewis hamilton...

[analog rover]

LMAO

[analog rover]

We now know what Ayrton Senna smelled like

Tsar by Van Cleef and Arpels

Was a favorite for him

[tame current]

[RUNS TO FRAGRANTICA]

Thats a loooot

somethin for everyone here

you walk past him at any time of day youre gonna like something lmao

oooh wait slightly off tangent but i read recently that popular perfumes of the early-mid 20th century were layered to complement the smell of cigarette smoke and to overlay the smell of fur coats and thats why to modern noses they smell so overpowering/strong/'mature'

and now im thinking if a perfume that complements the smell of fuel and rubber can even be done

[analog rover]

Well Ayrton didn't really like smoking

There's a story of him putting fruit in a pipe someone had because he didn't like the smell

[tame current]

thats so real

lmao im looking up rubber notes and nissan made a perfume that just smells like rubber and cherry blossoms

https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Nissan/Smell-My-Dust-93509.html

what a combination

[analog rover]

There's also a perfume that smells EXACTLY like how you think Niki Lauda would smell post Nurburgring

https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Sylhouette-Parfums/Molotov-Cocktail-92900.html

He also has his own perfume that smells like gasoline, spice and citrus

James definitely smells like cheap cologne, cigarettes, and sweat....among other body fluids

[tame current]

james smells like whatever perfume she was wearing

[analog rover]

James the type of guy to immediately get accepted into the Berghain because his freak levels match

I'm specifically talking about the techno club

[analog rover]

Same species

Yes schumi
That's how we ALL look at Alain

If I met Alain I would do wild insane stuff man (tell him I love and appreciate him and that he will always be my favorite and that he's amazing)

[analog rover]

They're co-parenting

This is what it looks like when you and your bro get assigned together in the stupid home ec class where you gotta take care of a fake baby

[distant patio]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CIlhtEE6jk since we're on the road to Montreal, here's another shocking finish at the track

[analog rover]

There's this old F1 driver that istg looks like a young James hunt and I FORGET HIS NAME

He raced in the 80's I think

I REMEMBER HIM NOW

Literally saw him and was like "they look related"

They look more related than Jacques and Gilles Villeneuve

[grizzled glade]

https://tenor.com/view/im-here-jigsaw-saw7-saw3d-coming-gif-21902171

[half spindle]

He looks like a combination of Hunt and Vettel

[analog rover]

Sometimes I forget James was highkey racing with no shoes on his toes

So we got James the shoeless and Niki "great ass" Lauda

Not to mention Prost the sniffer and Ayrton "one punch man" senna

[analog rover]

Perhaps he is

[analog rover]

Oh he's absolutely TERRIFIED

Let's put him against the scariest thing to come out of Austria in terms of racing

[analog rover]

Classic motorsport is NOT real 😭🙏

What do you mean Piquet accused Senna of being gay in 1988

AND THEN KEPT SAYING IT

💀

[past drift]

just Piquet things

[analog rover]

Apparently he reportedly WORE A SHIRT TO THE PADDOCK THAT SAID SENNA WAS GAY

💀

Anyway now his daughter is dating a man who's in the top 100 for Fanfiction on Ao3... alongside Charles Leclerc

And Alain called Piquet gay to Piquets daughter

Prost avenges Ayrton

[iron nest]

hi

[tame current]

And senna (allegedly) replied with 'ask nelson's wife if im gay' lel

[tame current]

God i constantly forget kelly's surname is piquet

Imagine ur a kid starting your karting jorney and you go to some event and see the surname verstappen-piquet on the list 💀

[analog rover]

I'd cry

Imagine being a kid at a karting event and seeing PROST on the board

Looking up

And there's the entire Prost family in the crowd. Then a few years later you think you're safe....AND HERE COMES THE OTHER ONE

[analog rover]

Children in France karting are under pressure

[past drift]

all children in karting are lmao

[idle gale]

[idle gale]

When Powersliding were common

[analog rover]

But I mean under MORE pressure due to the entire Alain Prost bloodline being at the track

Today we remember Canadian F1 Gilles Villeneuve who unfortunately died on this day 1982.

We miss you Gilles ❤️‍🩹🕊️🇨🇦

One of the greatest drivers to never win a championship

I almost thoight your pfp was Senna's little mascot "Senninha" lol

[analog rover]

No no it's Senninha redrawn as alain

[craggy onyx]

Makes sense

[analog rover]

Based off Alain's canon Senninha design that I didn't like

Oh my god it's Prost and "mini Prost"

Mini Prost is taller than actual prost

😭

[craggy onyx]

That guy on the left looks more like Prost than Prost himself lol

[analog rover]

I'm laughing but me and Alain are the same height

[analog rover]

THATS ALAINS SON

Nico!

[craggy onyx]

Uh oh

[analog rover]

The Senninha comics used to have a character named Nico but they've changed the name

[craggy onyx]

My grandpa has a book shelf full of Senninha comics

[analog rover]

😮

Prost and hadjar seemed to hang out more than Alain and Nico today 😭

They love the energy I bring to the party

車の小噺【GV】 (@car_kobanashi)

📑 Translated from Japanese

Alpine A500 (1976 France) The Alpine A500, born in 1976, was a prototype secretly developed by Renault toward the grand goal of entering Formula 1. That year marked an extremely important turning point in Renault's motorsport history. "Alpine," which had been handling rally and sports car development, was merged with the engine powerhouse "Gordini," leading to the establishment of "Renault Sport," which continues to this day. The A500 was the new organization's first project, serving as a "rolling laboratory" for the turbo revolution that would later shake up the F1 world, and it let out its first cry at the Alpine factory in Dieppe. The A500's design was by André de Cortanze. Its greatest technical focus was on the midship-mounted 1.5L V6 turbo engine "EF1" unit. The mainstream F1 engines of the time were 3.0L naturally aspirated ones, so it was unknown just how much performance a turbo engine with half the displacement could deliver, but it'…

Giggling cus one of Niki Lauda's son's prefers alesi over Niki...his own father

[wary swan]

yess i love THis

The way they cut off Ocon though😭

[analog rover]

Yk what's funny?

It seems Alain spent more time with hadjar....than his own son

💀

[wary swan]

😭😭BRUH

only smth someone from the 90’s like prost would do 😭😭

Technically 19’s but.. i get them mixed up

[analog rover]

Hmm do I either spend time with my son (who is currently driving my Ferrari for the event)

Or this random ahh french kid in F1 who's been compared to me briefly

[wary swan]

😭GENUINELY such a hard decision

Met this kid a few times Hmmm GAVE LIFE TO THE OTHER ONE😭😭

[analog rover]

LITERALLY ALL THE PROST PICS WITH SOMEONE ELSE

IS HADJAR

[analog rover]

HAND ON HADJARS SHOULDER AND NOT HIS SON 😭😭😭

So if anyone asks who prosts modern counterpart is

He's clearly picked it

[wary swan]

HAHAHHAHA YESS MY BOY

[wary swan]

😭Isack Hadjar-Prost atp

[analog rover]

Alain adopted him

[wary swan]

Genuinely 😭took his prost name from his son gave it to hadjar

[analog rover]

Who's the mom

Also Alain

New family photo according to Alain

[wary swan]

😭😭LITERALLY

😭alain couch lowk look maddd comfy

[analog rover]

The way one son looks like him (miserable and french) and the other 2 offspring are absolute BADDIES

LOOK AT THEM

[wary swan]

Genuinely crazy genetics

[analog rover]

Although they're definitely HIS genetics

Nico is absolutely 100% his

But the hair is definitely not Prost hair

Alain just does whatever and I love that for him

But what is this face twin

[idle gale]

Remembering Lorenzo Bandini

[naive storm]

He looks how I feel 😭

[craggy onyx]

RIP
But also damn those cars were built like a pickle

[analog rover]

I don't wanna talk about it

But I totally missed the part of the French Grand Prix event where Alain was driving

[craggy onyx]

The one in his maiden win with Renault?

[analog rover]

Had to REWATCH it

[analog rover]

No he drove his mclaren

[craggy onyx]

o

[analog rover]

I didn't want to just REWATCH Alain

I do that all the time

[craggy onyx]

This be a Ferrari tho

[analog rover]

I wanted LIVE Alain

😭

[analog rover]

But he's sad. That's why I used it

Because I'm sad I missed it

[craggy onyx]

Rip

Rare to see footage of him crying

[analog rover]

I've seen different

[analog rover]

Clearly you are unaware of his dance skills

If you're at a party and he's dancing

There's also a solid chance he starts throwing it back. He has done this twice on video.

[craggy onyx]

God damn you have his most private vídeos ever 😭

[analog rover]

I got everything that could ever exist online

[craggy onyx]

NAH HIM FALLING IS CRUEL

[craggy onyx]

I heard online he and Senna shared a pool day together, I wonder if you have that or if it was just a hoax

[analog rover]

I think so but the video is unfortunately too long to send and they don't share any screen time

ALL the drivers were there

I do however have Alain getting tickled to death

[craggy onyx]

That is old

[craggy onyx]

I do remember the one boycott race in the 80s with every driver wearing casual clothing lmao

[analog rover]

Here's Alain failing to drive a motorcycle

[analog rover]

Niki started that one and did standup comedy for the drivers

It's great

[craggy onyx]

It was amazing

Niki was a legend

[analog rover]

Niki was a Diva

Don't mind Ayrton in the back
He's not important right now

He's so not important right now that Niki then moved to cover him

His entire racing career only exists because he highkey ran away from the military

Was supposed to do mandatory military service or something and genuinely sprinted away from the Sargents and whatnot because he had a race that day that would get him into Renault academy

The military then couldn't do much to punish him because he's a "youth sports star"

Istg guys Alain's life is absolutely insane

[craggy onyx]

Who is this? Gilles?

[analog rover]

Unfortunately

Piquet

[craggy onyx]

Damn lol

Those masks are crazy

[analog rover]

I wish I knew what was even going on

Surprised it could fit Alain's nose tho

Piquet genuinely has a death grip on Alain

LET HIM GO

[craggy onyx]

I know people hate the heck out of Piquet but as a person who lives in Brazil, I can in fact say with confidence that he did NOT say that word regarding Hamilton in an Interview in portuguese

[tame current]

This happened 4 years ago and everyone agreed it was (at the very least) a bad look on piquet why are you defending him now?

[craggy onyx]

Because I live and speak the same language as him. The word he said was meant to be said in a jokingly manner for the brazilian public, its just that foreigners took that as an offense. However Im not here to say he is a saint, but rather say that it wasnt what people thought it was.

And personally because I think, career wise, he is one of the most underrated drivers out there

But I wont deny his big ego.

[tame current]

Cool, tks for explaining, doesnt change my opinion at all about him

[craggy onyx]

No problem

I know this is AI but something tells me to send this to you @analog rover

[analog rover]

Already seen it

[craggy onyx]

Cool

[analog rover]

It's very mixed emotions for me

[craggy onyx]

For me its just wholesome

[analog rover]

Cus like...it's ai

But also...ALAIN MISSED HIS BEST FRIEND MAN

[craggy onyx]

Deep down I wish Alain and Ayrton didnt have that rivalry

Those two were brothers from different families

[analog rover]

They got to become incredibly close friends in the final months

[craggy onyx]

Alain visiting Brazil for his funeral... God, it still brings me tears to this day

[analog rover]

Let's be real

Most people remember the rivalry more than anything. I'm glad they had it. They became incredibly close afterwards

[analog rover]

Piquet did also constantly tell people Ayrton was gay

[craggy onyx]

Nothing will ever reminisce Alain and Ayrton's relation as drivers and friends

[analog rover]

He told people
Wore shirts to the paddock apparently from what I hear that called Ayrton gay

Has stood by this statement

[craggy onyx]

That guy 😭

[analog rover]

Even if he was gay

Nobody gonna give a crap 😭

[craggy onyx]

Piquet just envy'd Senna so much

For being in his shadow most of the time even though he WAS a great driver

[analog rover]

Piquet jealous Ayrton and Alain were closer than him and Alain

[craggy onyx]

He won all of his 3 titles before Senna even won one of his own

But yet we all hear more about Senna than Piquet

I guess its a valid crashout

Although he doesnt need to be an arse about it even today

I saw in an interview recently where they asked about him and Senna and he just flatout said "Senna is dead, Im alive. Case closed."

I get why people hate Piquet now ;p

[tame current]

When alain retired ayrton spent the winter between 1993 and 1994 calling him asking when he was going to come back, which rly shows how their rivalry became so entangled to their f1 careers, ayrton especially

[analog rover]

He called Alain at least once a week

After his death Alain was invited to Ayrton's childhood home

On Ayrton's bedroom wall?

Pictures of Alain

Ok so note about this photo

Alain is definitely not driving them away because clearly

He can't

[analog rover]

This is because Alain can't drive motorcycles

[craggy onyx]

Bro is boutta drop the bar

Ayrton was really obsessed with Alain

Dad....dad....dad I'm over here...dad how did you like my driving?
Dad?
Dad why are you taking hadjar home? Dad I'm not on the plane!
DAD?!

Alain been taking care of that kid since he was 26
He's taking a break to adopt a THIRD SON

"Hadjar gets called mini Prost? Okay guess I made him now"

No. Who are you? Why’re you in my house?
Isacks my son of course he gets a plate😭

Alain replaces Nico's head with Hadjars in all the photos because "who is this random"

[past drift]

wow

[analog rover]

IM SERIOUS MAN

THE ENTIRE EVENT
ALAIN SPENT IT WITH HADJAR INSTEAD OF HIS OWN SON...WHO WAS DRIVING HIS FERRARI

[wary swan]

😭

[analog rover]

Perhaps he's mad because of what Ferrari did to him so he's taking it out on whoever drives it

[wary swan]

Alain bru ur kid exists only father son duo

[analog rover]

Alain does not gaf about Nico ever since the crash

The only Nico thing Alain cares about now

Is Nico's son Kimi who drives with Alain's driving style

[past drift]

which Nico's son is named Kimi

[desert plover]

Nico prost has a son named kimi

WHO WAS HIS BARBER BRO 😭😭😭

Please take away the barbers license istg

[wary swan]

BRUH JS WEAR MIKA WAS LIKE THAT TOO

[analog rover]

Alain seeing Ayrton get another haircut after his hair reaches its most glorious length (Ayrton is not influenced by the french fashion industry)

[wary swan]

BRO HAD GORGEOUS HAIR

AND THEM BAM

BABY HAIR

[analog rover]

OH MY GOD 😭

[wary swan]

LOOKED LIKE HE JUST POPPED OUT BRO

😭😭

[analog rover]

Ayrton and Alain briefly sharing the same hairstyle is peak tho

Hair so similar George Russell mistakes Alain's hair for Ayrton's

Clearly he is unable to tell between densely packed large curls and the king of curls

[wary swan]

Like hruhhh
Whats with the 19’s drivers and having suchhh GORGEOUS HAIR THJE

BAM BALDING BABY

😭why mika..why

You all had such gorgeous hair

JUST TRIM IT. WHY ARE YALM SHAVING UR HEAD CLEAN

[analog rover]

Niki is the biggest tragedy Because after Nurburgring he wore the hat all the time....but also started growing his hair out more

[wary swan]

😭😭

[analog rover]

But for a while he did that shit on purpose

LOOK AT THAT HAIR

OH MY LORD

[wary swan]

Early drivers were so expressive
Nowdays nahh could never
😭Isack follow their footsteps bro ur doing a good job

[analog rover]

Beautiful

[analog rover]

Gorgeous hair

[wary swan]

😭

[analog rover]

Niki what the fuck happened

[wary swan]

The hairline

😭😭

[analog rover]

His barber should be sent to the Nurburgring instead

What the fuck did they do to him

[wary swan]

😭im telling u the F1 teams started chopping they drivers hair off

They figured out aerodynamics more and more said u gotta get jailcut

THEY CUT THEIR HAIR LIKE THEIR GOING TO JAIL or joining the military 😭😭

[analog rover]

Beautiful long curls

Fart

[analog rover]

Aerodynamics my ass
No offense but Niki ain't built for aerodynamics

[wary swan]

😭Maybe the hair was too flammable LOL

IM SORRYY

[analog rover]

James had the most hair

James WAS hair

And also very cheap

[past drift]

aside from being burned you mean?

[idle gale]

Graham, Bruce and Jim

[analog rover]

That's very much before the Nurburgring

[past drift]

well i can see, thats his 1974 look

[analog rover]

I'm sorry Ayrton but the fit was NOT tuff

That is not your color 😭

Like I'm sorry as well Alain but red was never really your color either

Senna in the red and Alain in the blue tho?

Perfection

Absolutely gorgeous

[past drift]

he won as many titles in red as Ayrton

[analog rover]

Yes he performed well in red

But I specifically mean which color looks better on them

Alain fits blue tones better
Ayrton fits red tones better

[past drift]

ok but

[desert plover]

I think the Blue/White really goes good with his helmet

[tame current]

The massive SEGA logo on his forearms fit the look so well

[analog rover]

YESSS

[analog rover]

I own a piece of that suit

Blue and white fit his helmet

[analog rover]

That suit absolutely matches the helmet

Woah Alain and Ayrton

[desert plover]

really

his 1993 suit?

[analog rover]

One of the blue ones

That one was cut up a bit so I assume it's that one

[analog rover]

It looks like the right shade of blue

📑 Translated from Portuguese

In the first half of the 90s, with the end of the turbo era and the return of naturally aspirated engines, many manufacturers were interested in supplying engines for the category, which at the time had a relatively simple architecture, with 3.5 liters. Brands like Ford (V8), Ferrari (V12), Honda (V10 and V12), Renault (V10), Lamborghini (V12), Yamaha (V12 and V10), Hart (V10), Judd (V8), Mugen-Honda (V10), Peugeot (V10), Ilmor (V10), which later became Mercedes, Porsche (V12) and even Subaru with "Flat 12" and Life with its quirky W12 paraded through the grid between 1990 and 1995. The records of this era of creative prosperity and of manufacturers of the most varied calibers and technical capabilities are immortalized, in at least some of these configurations, in the photos below. I also posted images of the Isuzu, HKS, and MGN engines, which reached the stage of being produced and tested, at least on test benches or even…

EXACTLY THAT

Nico is once again getting neglected by his father

[naive storm]

Id love to be a grid girl. But they got rid of them, and im too fat

They could bring them back but make it more inclusive. Have grid boys too. And different body types

[analog rover]

Realll

And Alain should be a grid boy since he already was one

[naive storm]

Yeah

[analog rover]

He was Ayrton's grid boy

Just give him the sign and he's good to go basically

[naive storm]

Awww

Thats so cute 🥺

[analog rover]

I know

And it was for mother's day

[naive storm]

I feel so bad for any parent who has lost a child 💔 Ayrtons mum looks so sweet

[analog rover]

Nobody should ever have to bury their child

[naive storm]

Exactly 🥺 I cant even imagine. Its too painful

[analog rover]

On a happier note.

Alain's short shorts

[naive storm]

Love Alain in shorts

[analog rover]

That's his resume to be a grid boy

[naive storm]

He has/had lovely legs

[analog rover]

Oh he definitely still has them legs

He bikes all the time

Nicest legs on the classic grid

Imma say
Alain
And James

[naive storm]

F1 driver leg tier list

[analog rover]

I should

[tame current]

I said it before and ill say it again we need to re-convince society that short shorts are peak masculinity

[analog rover]

Idk who else to add

[tame current]

Senna getting his own catagory 😭

[analog rover]

You're either better than or worse than but you are not equal to senna

S category legs are legs that if you couldn't see above the waist, you'd think that's a total babe

Those are legs getting mistaken for women's legs

Pop off schumi tho

[fleet wigeon]

Bro prost ignore him like he's a random video game NPC

[analog rover]

Too busy adopting hadjar

[wary swan]

I'm no better than Niki Lauda because I also foam at the mouth for racecars and planes

[analog rover]

LMAO

"who's Nico? I only have isack Prost"

One day we're gonna see that name change from hadjar to Prost

We will accept this

Cartoonishly evil driver

Not even evil at all

[analog rover]

Nico he's not your father anymore

I know he made you but he's chosen hadjar now

Meanwhile Ayrton sideplot

[desert plover]

On this day, 38 years ago, Ayrton Senna delivered one of the most incredible qualifying laps in motorsport history. However, unfortunately, the TV cameras missed it.

During his debut season with McLaren, Senna set a remarkable 1:23.998 second qualifying lap for the Monaco Grand Prix, securing pole position. What’s truly astonishing is that this lap time was 1.427 seconds faster than his teammate, Alain Prost.

Neil Oatley, who engineered both Senna and Prost’s cars at McLaren, was driving Prost’s car during this particular weekend. He recalled that when Prost saw Senna’s lap time, a “ghostly look” crossed his face. He couldn’t comprehend how or where Senna had managed to achieve such a time.

Senna himself later described that lap as something extraordinary. He felt as though he was well beyond conscious thought. Monaco’s narrow and winding circuit made him feel like he was driving through a tunnel. The track seemed to stretch endlessly, and he was moving at incredible speeds, as if he were on rails. Of course, he wasn’t actually on rails.

Remarkably, the TV cameras missed capturing one of the most incredible qualifying laps ever. No footage exists of Senna’s incredible lap. It’s a significant blunder by the TV director.

Despite this oversight, Senna went on to achieve an incredible feat. He secured the first six pole positions of 1988 during his debut year with McLaren.

Oh I can think of more "Over-Engineered" cars

[analog rover]

Boy why you so 🟥

[analog rover]

I seem to keep finding myself ugly crying over James hunt and it's not kind or fair of him to do this

Meanwhile James is all like

Which is funny because he's not even my favorite driver. He's my 3rd favorite

Meanwhile Niki

Getting started at because WHAT is this absolute DIVA walk

Everyone else is walking normal except Niki

Rush is blatant James hunt propaganda because they made us think Niki and James hated each other when this is how Niki looked at James when he won

That's his bestie
That's his roommate

[past drift]

such as?

[idle gale]

Well, when I say "Over Engineered" I think I was meant to say "Experimental" (Or something in those lines)
