Lately just discovering the amount of manga doujins F1 had back then and I wish I had more than just 1 page of coverage

Also this is a daily reminder that the Schumacher x Senna 90s yaoi doujin exists and someone has an entire collection of them

“[Pedro] had been first to start racing, first cycles, then motorcycles, winning Mexican championships in both before taking to cars aged 15. But when Ricardo joined him a year later, and proved quicker, Pedro felt overshadowed, particularly within the family, as father Don Pedro clearly became very excited about the potential of his younger offspring. The fact that Pedro had always been the introverted one, Ricardo the open, talkative one just made things even more difficult. “They weren’t all that close as brothers,” remembers Ramirez. “They got on well but not like the Unsers or the Fittipaldis.”

“In Ricardo, Ferrari engineer Mauro Forghieri recalls a young man of some sophistication: “Although he was young he was not immature from a human point of view. He was serious and very determined. He wasn’t as reflective as Pedro and the quality of his driving was still instinctive, but he had a good relationship with people in the team and worked hard.”

“[…] in fact, fellow drivers rarely got through to Pedro. In the Tasman series of early ’68 Rodriguez drove for BRM, managed by Tim Parnell, who remembers: “We all used to stay at the same hotel – Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart, Graham Hill, Jack Brabham, Chris Amon, Denny Hulme – and we’d all muck in together, lark about, play cricket. But Pedro always kept to himself. I used to ask him about it and he would say that he didn’t want them getting to know him too well. He was quite a serious driver on the track and reckoned that it was better for him if they didn’t know what to make of him in a dice.”
