Like didn't Y'all catch that New "Italian
Guy" doin' the Dual in Detroit?
If that Rossi Chap in the Indy 500 was
Italian, according to my "Handler" who led me to my first Airport
Gate in Indianapolis following the race, then surely Santino Ferrucci's gotta
be Italian, Righto?
Well actually, you may already know that the
20yr old Ferrucci, who made his IndyCar debut over the past weekend in Detroit
actually hails from Woodbury, Connecticut.
Hmm? Pretty Cool
Birthday present! Since Santino just became 20 on May 31st...
As apparently Santino's "Handlers;"
Err Management thought it'd be a good idea for the current Trident Racing FIA
Formula 2 Pilote' to try his hand in an IndyCar, ARSE-Sumedly with Herr Guenther's
(Steiner) Blessing, since Ferrucci after all is a Haas F1 "Simulator
Jockey;" Err Test/Reserve Driver.
As the funniest part of his whole IndyCar endeavour
was hearing Rick O’Doulz'
DeBruhl noting how when he'd been asked over the
radio during the Saturday Belle Isle race if he was being held up by Seb? He
immediately shot back, Yeah I'm FASTER than Him! Which is pretty astounding
since we're talking 'bout le Hamburgular', nee SeaBass', aka four times Champ
Car Champion Sebastian Bourdais, who currently ranks P6 for Overall Career
victories with 37!
And Ferrucci's Baptism by Fire was certainly
interesting, as he got rammed; Uhm clipped by good 'Ol Narly Pinball', aka
Charlie Kimball in Race-1. And then Spun-out exiting the Pits in Race-2.
And whilst he hasn't exactly set the F2
Series alight, ranking 22nd Overall in his Debut Season last year. Although in
his defense, he didn't make his F2 season debut until round 7-of-11 at the
Hungaroring at the end of July.
But I enjoyed Santino's take upon driving a
current Dallara/Honda IndyCar vs. his "Day Job's" Dallara/Mecachrome F2
Chassis in the Racer.com article below...
Since if nothing else, he should be happy with the
exposure this foray's given him, since I've even learned how to speel his name
correctly...
