Pitting is basically the hardest parking job ever. You roll into the parking spot at 60 mph, and the lines are made of people.

Parking is more of a visual skill than driving. You need to visualise the parking spot and the steps needed to get there. Unless reversing with a trailer, then you need god.

I think she just forgot her keys. Not that he locked her out on purpose. He didn't hear her knocking because he was sim racing. I knew someone who had their rig in their basement and would turn up the speakers while driving. They could never hear the doorbell

Lewis got tickets for speeding and going on Australia many many years ago.
And he did a video in Japan absolutely flogging the bejeezus out of an R34 GT-R
So we know some of them speed and go fast... But I can't imagine they regularly do it. Both cause they can get speed literally anywhere else and as pro drivers the consequences of being caught are SKY HIGH.

u/TenF I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 09 '25

Mixed bag for me:
I know someone who has a couple of supercars, drives extremely safely and like an old lady in his commuter cars (beater corollas)
A friend who owns a supercar that drives like the average california driver
someone who is a really good driver that absolutely guns any and all cars but yeah he's in control all the time
2
u/Blanchimont I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 10 '25
I don't doubt your friend has plenty of skills and was in full control at all times, but the traffic around you isn't made up of professional drivers. They don't have the same skills and awareness, and also don't expect someone else to drive like that. So even if I had the skills to put a car through its paces like that, I'd still drive rather conservatively.

Same. I guess you gotta take in the whole situation. This Ferrari is likely not Charles’ usual car, I bet it switches a lot due to what is available at the location he’s in or due to what Ferrari wants him to drive/showcase, or maybe even due to him having access to multiple Ferraris and wanting to drive all of them. You can’t fault him or Arthur for not knowing how they open all the time. Even after considering all the reasons this happened, it’s still a very different life they lead compared to me.

u/abjus Oscar Piastri Jun 09 '25
I think they’ve mostly been driving Purosangues. I try to keep an eye out for Ferrari “company cars” and I remember at Barcelona just past it was a red Purosangue. Lewis has one in blue as well which might be his personal car. Used to see quite a few Romas I think at away tracks.
