That was a good laugh, even though I had to watch it on YouTube.

Ex-partner of Ralf Schumacher deliberately keeps her surname for the money

What’s in a name.

Mind you when you read it, I thought it was Mick Jnr that was gay, and not his brother.

Why it’s important if he’s gay or not?

It’s not a problem if he’s gay or not, it’s the fact that Ralf’s ex, has kept the surname of Schumacher as it brings in the money.

But as I originally posted, I thought it was Michael’s son, that was gay.

And what is the problem in keeping the name?

That is common in Germany after a divorce

That is not orginal footage? Quality seems way too good for 1964?

That 1st circuit looks like they tried to recreate a version of Monaco, But the 2nd one sounded like today’s races, it was non stop for 70 laps.

Because in those days they could refuel

But a great video.

If you mean Damon Hill, his father. He was never owned by McLaren; the team was founded by Bruce McLaren.

But if you watch the clip, you’ll see the cars will have the drivers name on as well the number. And I did put in the write up, about the original owner of McLaren team.

But it says Jim Clark and the team is Lotus. There’s nothing about McLaren anywhere. Besides, McLaren wasn’t founded until 1965 by Bruce McLaren.

That’s right, Bruce McLaren was there, he drives for Copper.
