My BlueSky followers tend to be a mix of #F1 people & #LGBTQ+ people. The 2 groups don’t overlap much, but here’s a pic that’ll appeal to both. It’s François Cevert, who won his only #F1 GP #OnThisDay 55 years ago, at Watkins Glen. He was killed 2 years later, also at the Glen.

Eventually remembered i should call 999 but for some reason i couldn't get to the number pad on my phone or on the work mobile. Saw a Francois cevert branded lorry. Whilst I'm trying to call, I'm also queuing up to get my headshot taken with the Normans and Helen and Alice
