2 b clear: I was terminated for a slur statement I didn’t make. My statement filled in how I got attached AFTER the factually incorrect story aired.
As a society do we now jump the gun to garner the headline without integrity attached? Have we eroded basic respect? Lesson? Kids?

BIG shout out to
@ConorDaly22
for daring to try. His 1st Daytona 500 was '92. Perfect front row seats above start/finish. He fell asleep on parade lap, was pushed under seats and never stirred until after checkered flag.

The "Pink Mercedes" is not the 1st pure copy in F1. Although not as exact as the Racing Point, the 009 Tyrrell was as close to a perfect copy of the Lotus 79 as you could get from photos. In some areas (cockpit) it was actually better than the Lotus 79.
