Jean Alesi

Would also be very Jacques Villeneuve at the same time.

But this just made me think of that because Stroll has now got the most DNFs in a season since Jean Alesi back in 2000.

So unlocking portions of the archive that we, we weren't quite sure were there, but we're quite happy to know about now.

And Jean Alesi is probably quite glad he is not going to hold that record for much longer, because let's face it, Stroll ain't finishing the next six Grand Prix, all of them.

Yeah.

That's a, a reasonable, uh, point to get to, I'd say.

Um, yeah, I think Jean Alesi is safe.

Um, Alonso has found something in that car, I think, from what I've seen though.

I don't know what we're gonna see for this, and I don't know how long this is gonna last before Lewis decides to do literally anything else.

Speaking of doing literally anything else, Lance Stroll said after Sepang that he had enough of seeing full race distances and now has the most DNFs in a single season since Jean Alesi had 12 DNFs in 2000.

It has been more than a quarter century since a single driver has DNFed as often as Lance Stroll has because of the reliability issues in that Aston Martin.

Big yikes.

Okay, so he makes loads of mistakes.

Modern-day Jean Alesi, the last wall bender.

I get it.

I get it.

Of course, conversations like this, there's a bit of reminiscing.

And of course, when I'm with Mika or, or, or Jean Alesi or Gerhard Berger or these guys that I've raced against in the past, we might talk about something amusing or engaging or whatever from the past, and that's normal life.

You do that with your friends.

But I'm not someone that's constantly living for the past, and therefore, when I knew I was stopping at the end of 2008, I walked away from my last race, having been spun out by Nico Rosberg, um, without any regret because I was given a fair crack.
