Meme Fans in F1
These kids who grew up watching Xuxa's show and El Chavo del Ocho think that Senna's physiotherapist introduced physical and spiritual preparation to F1. They weren't even informed that during the time of François Cevert and Niki Lauda, James Hunt, the FIA and FISA held parties with female models, journalists, and celebrities, with lots of champagne and cigarettes. Yes, all the drivers smoked, slept with the most popular women, and drank the day before races. Then came a Brazilian who was a gymnast, Emerson Fittipaldi, who did physical preparation and didn't smoke, didn't drink, didn't frequent nightclubs. And another one appeared who liked to innovate in the car, like warming the engine, oil, chilling the seats and tires; his name was Piquet. And another one prayed and preached the gospel, another Brazilian called Cristo Salva (Christ Saves), Alex Dias. Then came a crazy guy, Roberto Moreno, who only drove clunky cars for teams that lasted two years: AGS, Ensign, Andrea... And even so, he managed to improve those cars and came in second place in F1, raced in Indy, F5000, so for you who think Creshtapen is the last word in technology, you need to watch Jacques Villeneuve racing in the rain on slick tires with a crashed car and a punctured tire without lifting off the throttle and making overtakes without the front wing; what a shame that your repertoire of geniuses starts with Creshtapen and ends with Letret, the supermarket handcart driver.
