    Great video!, didn't know about the team history

    Both colourful and controversial ( note the red shoes) and contrarian character. Enigmatic. Intellectual and Flamboyant. Quite uniquely interesting really.
  • To understand Van Rossem you'd have to imagine an egocentric, eccentric, lying, slandering billionaire who runs a ponsi scheme and is from Belgium.

    Interestingly enough, your alternative timeline also ment: Schumacher never got his virgin drive in Spa 91 at Jordan, sicne as you said, Gachot never went to jail for being rowdy 8as well as not driving for Jordan at that time)

    Pretty sure that 1st Marlboro Open Wheeler was a former CART Penske car not F1

    Gachot pics are Johansson, except with the Mazda. Gachot was so talented - now owns Hype energy drink company. Leclerc crashing classic Lauda Ferrari at Monaco is a bit random.

    That paint scheme and logo are god-like. Glad that Alan Jenkins went onto far greener pastures.

    6:50 there was no refueling in 1989 anyway. Also, it was common place to not stop on pits at all on that era.
