After Hungary a new ph phrase for ..

[Mojocvh]

...on it, balls out, pedal to the metal & incorrigible progression through the field....

With due acknowledgement to the good Dr, that is Dr Z on the Hungary GP thread, I propose that the phrase

Bianchi-esque

be formally added to the folklore of ph F1 threads and comments....

[dr_gn]

Both inappropriate and unnecessary.

IMO :-)

[Eric Mc]

Absolutely.

A rather pointless exercise and not really suited to the moment.

[iandc]

How about a new PH phrase for pointless and inappropriate topics?

[37chevy]

^^^^^^^ Mojo-esque?

[mybrainhurts]

I'm confused. Is this something to do with Lewis Hamilton's glittery blouse?

[Dr Z]

I don't know the guy (Bianchi) on a personal level, never followed him at lower formulae but the one thing that sticks in my mind of him is this:



Therefore, the term is particularly applicable if there's wheelbanging involved...(at the risk of offending the large contingent of PHers who quite readily take offense at anything...)

[Eric Mc]

The thing is though, if we want to go down this route I could think of a plenty more successful drivers who drove in an aggressive and often entertaining fashion.

Mansell
Villeneuve (G)
Rosberg (K)
Farina
Brabham (J)
Bellof

Bianchi had a relatively brief career in F1 (sadly) and we will never really know how much of a "great" he was destined to be. Without wanting to sound too harsh, there is no need to deify him because of his sad demise.

[Ahonen]

Good grief.

In Singapore last year Perez made up 7 places in the last 8 laps. That was stunning.

[LandR]

People are really over-rating Bianchi because he died.
