Louis Vuitton makes the F1 trophy trunk, Philippeville brings out its blue cool box

According to Formule1.nl, Louis Vuitton makes the trunk for the Formula 1 trophy, one detail among others in a sport that looks, on Sunday television, like a travelling film festival.

Fabienne stands solemnly under a canopy behind a blue cooler topped with a small trophy and a sandwich, next to her trailer.

PRESS RELEASE.

Fabienne Racing has taken note of the Formule1.nl article reporting that Louis Vuitton makes the trunk for the trophy. The team welcomes this advance in prize logistics and wishes to inform its partners of its own solution, in service for several seasons: a blue cool box, stored in the trailer between the tyres and the gazebo.

“At Fabienne Racing, we have a project, and the project has a container,” says the team principal. “Our trophy trunk also does duty for the Sunday sandwiches. We maximised our package.”

The team notes that, again according to Formule1.nl, Brad Pitt is on the starting grid and Gordon Ramsay in the paddock, while film stars jostle around the garages. Fabienne Racing points out that its hospitality, under the gazebo at the Mariembourg kart track, remains open to any personality passing along the N5 road, preferably before noon. “The brother-in-law’s garage, our technical partner, has never turned away a visitor,” adds the team principal. “It even has a second chair.”

As for Las Vegas, where the cars race between the casinos and the hotels, the team has read that a single night there would let an ordinary person buy a fairly decent used car. Fabienne Racing states that it already has a Dacia and therefore plans no hotel travel this season. The trailer, for its part, sleeps for free.

“Florian is ready. He always has been. The day he gets a trophy, the cool box will be emptied,” concludes the team principal.

About Fabienne Racing: one driver, one kart, one Dacia, one project.

The editor-in-chief chose this one: « B et D ont le même niveau de drôlerie, et la rotation fait passer Fabienne devant Nathan. Sa glacière répond au coffre Louis Vuitton par un objet concret de la structure, ce qui rend la chronique d'un confrère racontable. »

Brad Pitt sur la grille, Gordon Ramsay au paddock : Blanchimont rationne son café

Selon Formule1.nl, la Formule 1 vue le dimanche à la télévision ressemble à un festival de cinéma itinérant : Brad Pitt sur la grille, Gordon Ramsay dans le paddock, des vedettes autour des garages et le champagne qui coule à flots.

  • Funniness 3/5
  • Faithfulness 4/5
  • Voice 4/5
  • Retweet 4/5
  • Good nature 5/5

The editor-in-chief’s comment Les lignes « je n'ai pas la télévision au poste, je n'avais donc pas remarqué » et la malle contre le sac de sport de 1998 font sourire, mais le sandwich du titre n'apparaît jamais dans le corps et l'avant-dernier paragraphe sur la vedette à qui l'on « lève » est confus.

La F1, un festival de cinéma selon Formule1.nl : Nathan cherche Brad Pitt dans son sim

Selon Formule1.nl, la Formule 1 ressemble le dimanche à la télévision à un festival de cinéma itinérant, avec Brad Pitt sur la grille, Gordon Ramsay dans le paddock et des voitures qui, à Las Vegas, courent entre casinos et hôtels.

  • Funniness 4/5
  • Faithfulness 4/5
  • Voice 4/5
  • Retweet 4/5
  • Good nature 5/5

The editor-in-chief’s comment Le curseur « densité de célébrités » introuvable et les deux dixièmes perdus à regarder des façades hors de prix sont du vrai Nathan, tendre et avec un seul delta ; la chute sur le poste de pilote de simulateur est plus faible.
