He said:

If my weekend begins well I use the same underpants on Saturday. If that is also a good day, I wear them on Sunday. That is what I did in Brazil.

This reminds me of David Coulthard who also has his favourite pair of “lucky underwear”. I find it amazing that these guys can be paid millions of dollars to drive Formula One cars yet have such ridiculous superstitions. If they truly believe things like this has an effect on their performance then imagine what else could impact them! It’s kind of like the Spanish MotoGP riders who always magically do better at their home events.. It’s all in the head! :)

All I want to know is WTF does Buttongate mean!? Every news site seems to be using the term. Is it a European reference that I don’t understand? And now we have Buttongate II. What will be next, Buttongate III – Revenge of the Sith? Buttongate Atlantis? :P

This section is for all those funny F1 stories.. you know, the urban legends.. the folklore.. And there is so much in F1. So let’s start with the most common story (which you can retell with different driver’s names as seems to be the case on the net..):

During one Britsh Grand Prix weekend Ayrton Senna was running late for free practice. He was stopped on his way to Silverstone by a police officer for speeding. The officer came to the window and opened with, “Who do you think you are, Nigel Mansell?”. :-D

Now the spin on this one is Nigel Mansell sometimes works as a police officer (his old job). When he pulls someone over for speeding, guess what his opener is? “Who the hell do you think you are? Nigel Mansell?”.. :roll:

Ok.. so now we’ve got the bad ones out of the way let’s hear your great F1 stories! 8)
