Fangio

Our local primary school’s drop’n’go zone is eerily similar to the pits of F1, without the driving skills. None, zero, zip.

One lane is the pit apron where the cars pull in, doors fling open, kids eject, bags tumble, instructions are barked and then the parents lurch back into the driving lane, driving as fast as their 4WD’s, SUV’s and Teslas allow. I assume they are all running late for work.

Unlike F1, there’s no crew, no stewards, no helmets and no stopwatch, just the vague but delusional hope that nobody gets clipped when they pull out into the driving lane.

Helpfully they’ve also added a pedestrian crossing right in the middle, just to spice things up.

That’d be an interesting addition for Lando, Lewis and Charles. Not Max though, he wouldn’t pause for pedestrians, not even little kiddies.
