I'm going with the one that is at an Italian team and dresses like a third rate pimp while larping as gangsta.
 
It would be funny as hell if it was Yuki (he drove for Alpha Tauri so if there is some Italian connection required, that would work) and it comes out he may be short in height but...

But wow, I wonder if the names will come out or since those involved are rich footballers and a race driver, will they be able to keep their names out of it?

Interesting in any event, someone's rep could be seriously tarnished.

The only two successful female racing drivers I can think of are Sabine Schmitz (RIP) and Michele Mouton, so the hypothesis that women aren't all that suited to aggressive racing checks out.

I would say you can count Ellen Lohr who did good in Touring cars and lower Formula classes though not as known like Michelle Mouton or Sabine Schmitz

While she wasn't good at F1 Divina Galica deserves a mention as she also worked on IRacing for a long time. So you might say a woman taught Verstappen how to be a great Driver

Also, it's kinda funny: I am a Simracer and while I don't play as much as in the past I never encountered a female SimRacer. In one league there had been one but she didn't drove when I entered. Guess the virtual world is just like the real world in that case

to be able to simrace you first need to have a sim and that requires a degree of male coded autism just like real motorsport

My first inclination as well. Known to hang with Diddy. Not to say anyone else is innocent - I contend that even the ones I like are probably insufferable assholes except maybe the kids who haven't quite been famous long enough yet.

If we're going to take bets on any current driver whose name doesn't rhyme with Shmewis Shmamilton, I'd go with Lando. Just a feeling I have.

I've considered taking up SimRacing. I still might if I move in the near future there's no convenient go-karting. I expect that I will suck for a long time.

In a way, yeah. Learning setups and so on can be daunting. Though I feel that it has become easier over the past years. I enjoy playing Le Mans Ultimate even though I will never be on top

Is there a cheapish way to just plug a vr headset into something and drive a track offline?
I’m thinking ps4 and whatever gran turismo?

Does "an F1 driver" necessarily mean a current F1 driver?

That's a good point.

Oddly enough, the first name that came to mind was Flavio Briatore. I know he's not an F1 driver, but he has been heavily involved with the sport for decades, and it's possible that "F1 driver" really means "F1 identity".

Then I realised that whilst he's a well-known entrepreneur and pussy hound, being involved with a prostitution ring - no matter how high end - would probably be beneath Flavio.

Plus the whole Epstine file stuff he was in.

I would laugh so hard if out of all the drivers on that grid it is Lancey boy who is the biggest player. I think the others would have to retire and join a monastery in shame.

Not me. The dude acts like he’s so over being an F1 driver. Must be nice to be so rich that you can feel that way about being in what is in essence one of the most exclusive clubs in the world, so he’s probably indifferent to the feelings of women as well.

The ones that would shock me? Oscar and Alex. They both seem like the kind of guys that, if they ever thought about cheating, it might come across as too much work. Similarly less likely would be Max (that guy fucks, but would rather be sim racing) and Carlos (that guy might fuck, but he’s too busy trying to get the weight of his car down).

Lance? Women? well.. stranger things have happened. If it's a current, its Hamilton or Kimi, if it's former its probably one of the old russian drivers. I've heard rumours that Kimi was involved in a street crash/incident in one of the gulf states and he had a hooker in the car, but it was covered up. It's more likely to be some engineer or team staff and the 'F1 driver' is just for clicks, idk.
