DIDIER PIRONI playing around with a 1950s car, 1980

Ken Tyrrell has a clause in his contract forbidding him to participate in most of his dangerous hobbies outside of racing, including skiing and motorcycling. After the accident, Patrick, with his own form of hilariously odd logic, blamed Tyrrell that he have been able to cope if he'd had more experience - which he would have had if only Tyrrell hadn't stopped him.

most marshals work on a volunteer basis. we either don't get paid or get paid a very small amount of money. we do it for the love of the sport. we do NOT do it so that teams can risk our wellbeing with these stupid ass decisions for these stupid ass reasons. mclaren should've been SUSPENDED for this imo bc that's the only thing that'll make these teams listen. these fines are a slap on the wrist for them. they don't give a fuck. like literally we were told several times we need to look out for ourselves and each other because FIA and the teams won't do it. they already make intervention marshals go out on live tracks because they hate red flagging no matter how warranted it is. this bullshit is just more endangerment for no good reason. fucking hell.
