Following the career of fictitious British 29yr old

driver & 1991 World Champion Joey Davies in an alternate universe playing the famous Grand Prix 2 game.
Just finished watching the

"Now I get why he was your hero dad. And now, he is mine - but second, behind you."
Cue more tears!

I'm no Lewis or Max fan but for me the
@fia
need to SERIOUSLY do something about driving standards. Max was always gonna make things difficult and that's fair enough but today was ANOTHER display of bad sportsmanship driving.
@MBrundleF1
Martin, don't even bother with them. Do you REALLY think us F1 fans care about the thoughts of these 'celebs' who just get an invite but have no CLUE what they've actually been invited to?...
Enjoyed the rest of it mate!!
@MarioAndretti
I feel your frustration Mario!
It is a DISGRACE!!!!!!
Ive highlighted this portion in particular because lord knows how many races Haas have won, or others or even podiums they all have....
@Motorsport
But if Audi or Porsche were to express interest in starting a team from scratch would the same logic apply?...
No chance!
Give Andretti the chance for christ sake!!!!!!

He speaks the truth! My god, it was like watching Ayrton

deliver one if his emotional passionate responses back when the sport WAS about the sport and not the show!
Bravo Max! BRAVO!!!!!!
@SkySportsNews
When he makes comments like this you can DEFINATELY believe he once left a very young Max behind at the motorway services cos he failed to meet his father's expectations.
I mean, Jos had so much success himself in F1 when he -----

More and more people become preoccupied with the excitement and that all races must deliver. To me, Monaco means accuracy for 78 laps and THAT is what makes it a must have! It is literally like no other. No run offs, no prisoners, no mercy.

This has been the hardest of weeks.
I could go on no more living in a marriage that was leading only to me being unable to be me.
If it wasn't for my best friend, my 18yr old daughter, I would NOT have made it through.
She is my rock.
Now I am free.
And finally, free to be me.
All these years later
The pain is still as raw
As the day that you left us
And our hearts sank to the floor....
You were my hero as a kid, you are my hero now as a man.
We miss you. We love you. We will never forget you.
