Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

Hate to say this Rich but Seb Vettel is past his “sell by date”———-five will get you ten Seb goes to Toro Rosso— Le Clerc is number one —At Ferrari’s — Verstappen joins him.
Hamilton apologised for mistake he never made—— Rookie leaves the gate wide open —- should have considered the “ overlap” rule!
But it was easy for the committee after Hamilton took the blame ?
Enough of all this—- I don’t watch F1 anymore!

Just had that feeling you would know something about it Gene—— weren’t enough wings produced to let one slip by unnoticed——- same thing with the tunnels in England—— knew every single one—— who bought them—— who raced them.! But I could not tell you where any of them finished up!
Same thing with the MM Cold Moulded 16’ Levi’s—— show me the boat and I’ll tell you who raced it—— but I have no idea where even a single one is today!
