my favourite niche f1 driver - Leslie Thorne

He was born on June 23rd, 1916 in Greenock, Inverclyde, Scotland. He died on July 13th, 1993 (77 y/o) in Troon, South Ayrshire, Scotland.

He competed in the 1954 British Grand Prix driving a Connaught the team Ecurie Ecosse where he came 14th.

He also participated in four non-championship F1 races in 1954 with the same team in the UK.

He was a chartered accountant, and also a racing enthusiast. 

He began racing in hill-climb events in Scotland between 1936 and 1938. 

He put his racing career on hold after WWII.

He returned to racing in the single-seater category, starting with formula 3 in 1953. He was able to get a drive with David Murray's team,Ecurie Escosse due to his friendship with David.

In 1955 he retired from racing and returned to his career as an accountant.

what role different f1 drivers would play on the hit bbc gameshow the traitors

If you haven't had the delight of watching the traitors quick rundown: 20 or so strangers are locked together in a Scottish castle for two weeks and are made to play a massive game of werewolf/mafia with a small minority called Traitors being able to kill one of the majority (known as Faithfuls) per night. The Faithfuls can vote out one person per night at an event known as the round table. They also complete in physical challenges in the Scottish highlands for money. High camp. They make a woman attend her own mock funeral. Iconic lines. Iconic characters. Great show. Go watch it. Without further ado:

Max Verstappen: Faithful but no one really believes it. Correctly guesses the identities of multiple traitors but is voted out in the early game because everyone thinks he's too forthright and is hiding something

Jack Doohan: Faithful but gets murdered on the first night.

Esteban Ocon: Faithful but gets murdered the second night after him and Pierre have a massive argument at the round table.

Pierre Gasly: Traitor. Loses his cool when Esteban accuses him at the round table. Murders Esteban only to get voted out the next night.

Yuki Tsunoda: Faithful and manages to stay in the game until he's accused by Liam at the round table and completely loses his temper. Gets voted out the same night.

Liam Lawson: Faithful and gets voted out the next night after Yuki because he was the one leading the accusations against Yuki.

Franco Colapinto: Traitor. Is really well-liked by everyone which eventually garners suspicion–why is he not getting murdered? Is finally voted out in the midseason in a shock twist when everyone suddenly turns on him at the round table.

Fernando Alonso: Faithful. Ruffles a few feathers but ultimately becomes a fan favourite, is "poisoned" in plain sight by the traitors and attends his own funeral as a reveal to him being murdered. There is widespread uproar at his removal from the game.

Charles Leclerc: Faithful but is always under mild suspicion because Max accused him at the early round tables. Gets voted out because of his "excessive winking" and him being "too perfect".

Carlos Sainz: Traitor. He thinks he can win because he's got Lando who hangs off his every word and always backs him up. Is saved from suspicion from his go-to look being a vacant stare when he's being accused. Is betrayed by Oscar in the finale.

George Russell: Faithful. Asks production whether he can bring powerpoints to the round table and is turned down. Comes up with extremely elaborate theories. They are always wrong. Gets murdered in order to frame Alex.

Alex Albon: Faithful and suspects Carlos after viewing a "poisoning" in plain sight. Is voted out because the traitors manage to sway people to think he was trying to deflect by murdering George.

Lewis Hamilton: Faithful. A cool, calm, and collected voice at the round table. The traitors murder him for having too much influence.

Lando Norris: Faithful. Carlos keeps him alive because he is very happy to be influenced on who to vote for and is decent at the challenges (apart from ones where they have to swim in the lake). He is closest to Carlos but also forms a bond with Oscar. Oscar uses that to his advantage in the final 3 in order to point out to Lando all the ways Carlos has manipulated his vote. Lando votes Carlos very tearfully, and then...

Oscar Piastri: Traitor. Is recruited midseason after Franco is voted out. Plays a quiet game, only planting seeds of doubt with people in one and one conversations versus his other traitor Carlos who is more of a group leader. He betrays Carlos in the finale by managing to sway Lando to his side to vote Carlos out of the final 3. He reveals to Lando that he betrayed him, as he is a traitor, and wins the entire game.

ohh nooo poor oscar lost a bet and had to go on a set up date with carlos 😏😏 ohh noooo oscar is secretly loving it (😏😏😏) oh nooo they're dating by the end of it oh nooooo 😁

Hot take, the fan art I see on Tumblr Dot Com is 5,000% better than the AI crap I see on Instagram.

I would rather see one of you sexy humans create art of Carlos and Charles sucking each other's faces than the perversion of technology where they go from a still image to making out. It looks terrible.

my favorite genre of lando pics are those where he's sad, disappointed and pissed with the red rimmed eyes and the pouty lips and the angry set to his jaw and the furrowed brows. there's something about him looking like an angry wet cat that's speaks to my soul

f1 tik tok: “there is no reason to hate all of the drivers. they’re all special and talented in their own way!”

f1blr: “yeah right now we’re currently banding together like the mf avengers to collectively dislike that one orange car”

Pretty specific trope of drawing Leclerc family in Javanese traditional outfit (Beskap) aka my favourite traditional outfit.

Might aswell just put some real life picture of beskap to promote my own culture
