This should be in the Motorsports section, I believe. Also, I cringed hard at that title. Very hard.

This was a really awesome moment. I watched that qualifying back in 2015, saw the mural now, him sitting in a summer chair with sun glasses on next to it, just awesome.

F1 has been way too serious, stiff and boring for many years. I also started watching rallycross since this year, it's just awesome how all drivers deal with each other in such a lighthearted way, the contrast with the stiffness and tension in F1 couldn't be bigger. So I'm glad to see this.

Some funny WRX moments :

Bakkerud getting a special helmet from team principal and team driver Ken Block :


Ekstrom congratulating Bakkerud and going with him on a selfie, the Hansens congratulating Bakkerud with the win. These are all drivers from different teams, it's great to see how everyone gets along so well. (watch from 1:49:40 on if the link doesn't do it)


The drivers doing their anti-lag impressions :


So yes, this Alonso moment in Hungary was absolutely great!

Awesome. Never been a big Alonso fan but he's been hilarious the past few years.

F1 needs stuff like this rather than the BS PR personalities most of them have.
