#i choose to believe the route where jenson shows up first though

I am intrigued. What *is* the Indian gp paddock pass incident? Tell me tell me tell me please

- A sewis ready to be a sewis/sebson

in 2011 sebson was off the charts for unknown reasons. however, there is one event to rule them all: the 2011 indian gp paddock pass incident.

the gist is that these two show up early in the morning to the paddock and they swipe their paddock entry badges as one does. lo and behold there is a twist! seb swipes his badge. sebastian vettel's face pops up on the tiny screen and seb covers that. jenson swipes his badge. sebastian vettel's face pops up on the tiny screen and jenson covers that.

why? why is this the case? why does sebastian have two paddock passes? was this all some elaborate prank? if that's the case, why did both of them cover it up when they should've just gone "got ya!" towards the other? does sebastian lose his credentials that often that he needs two passes? if so, why does jenson have one of them? did jenson lose his credentials and needed to borrow one of sebastian's? if so, why (again) does sebastian have two passes? the picture of seb that appears when jenson swipes the badge looks like a younger sebastian. is that an old pass? if so, why is it still active? why is the incident erased from the internet (as far as i can tell) so that only gifsets and oral history remains? why did no one question this incident enough to get a documented interaction with said incident that would be immortal on the internet?

all of these questions and more remain connected to this incident. the best i can leave you with is that one day answers will be firm in history and confirmed by historians. but until then, this incident will remain mostly a mystery as to how it started and how it unfolded.

i leave you with a gifset. see the incident for yourself.
