He is from Belgium....

First win in F1: Baguette slices through the competition to raise to the occasion

Ok then..

'Baguette's paid the prize for waffling at the start'

Baguette to rise again and face the heat of competition?

Has baguette been passed a new baton

Hmm. It doesn't look like these bread-related puns will go stale anytime soon.

Man, bad puns seem to be the yeast of Bertie's problems.

He's got dough driver at the moment.

Yeh, just hope he can raise the dough for a seat at Campos...

Agreed. Dough is exactly what he kneads at the moment.

I actually laughed out loud at that one.

He won't want to be in one of those new and unsauteed cars.

That would be like driving on a bread-knife edge.

We should be serious for a while guys.

Baguette's had a really nasty crash while testing.

Crumbs!!

I hope he'll be better in time for Basketlona next week.

No, after that incident, he's toast.

I went into my local sandwich shop today to buy a turky Baguette
but was told they have a roll
Because they have removed Baguette's off the menu due to being a slow moving product

A really tasty crash, you meant.

Surprised to read this.

Looks like he must have run out of funds, he seemed to be on the F1 ladder.

No longer such a tasty prospect...

In the Belgian press he said that he wanted to drive IndyCar this year so that he keeps in shape because the test drivers can't do any testing during the season but his ambition is still very much set on F1.

So..Baguette is just buttering his bread with the Indy gig..so he won't loaf around this season..??

That takes some crust...

Yep. Baguette has had to settle for the crumbs from the table.

Conquest Racing? I would have thought he would have chosen a team from the yeast coast.

Ahhh still laffin', what a great thread that you Guys are putting the icing on

I guess some think it's pretty crumby and half baked though.

Bertrand Baguette is racing in IRL, sponsored by Subway?

Any way you slice it, he'd better have an impressive seasoning this year, otherwise his career is toast. Too bad, because it looked like his star was rising, now it seems to have collapsed. Maybe the distraction of his wife who has a bun in the oven, is too much- he has a lot of pressure to be the family breadwinner. So, at the end of the year, we'll see how he's seeded, and if he's top crust material, a good team will surely bag him.

Oh, I should have been more respectful. I'm just glad it was a direct impact, and he didn't roll it.

As he was in Germany getting his new helmet:

From now on it´s belgian bread protected by german hat ;-)

Romancini's death, Baguette's bread

'German lid the perfect topping for Baguette.'

I should work at the Sun.

Was going to post some Bertrand Baguette-related punage ahead of his first IndyCar race, but thought the butter of it.

Baguette showed his starch..even though his car had No carbs. When they turned up the heat..Baguette rose to the occasion..demonstrating his crust as soon to be well seasoned.

autosport.com seems to think that Sauber's new technical director has a name with similar potential:

Aw, that easily qualifies for Worst Pun of the Week Award...

Baguette sandwiched with Panis as teammate for 2011.

Apologies for bringing up this thread again but will the 2022 season kick off with a Stroll in the Park for the new Ferrari kid in town?

And so it begins again...

Bertie Baguette is slicin' and dicin' at Indy...

When asked how was the progression from the lower ranks into Formula 1,he replied that it was a stroll in the park.

Baguette's F1 career is toast

Maybe it's kind of sour grapes? I've been told his approach to last year's test with Renault wasn't very serious

best pun award methinks

All these jokes are getting stale.

So what's our boy doing in 2011? Not just loafing around, I hope. He has to earn his bread somehow.

Earning a crust in historic racing - driving one of these of course:

And he's in line (the breadline of course) to take over from Ricky Bobby driving this:

Well, let's hope he can rise to the challenge.

Well, we wouldn't want him to roll it. That would leave a very sour taste in the mouth.

Yes he must be careful - he hasn't driven for a while so he could be a little stale and ©rusty

Ladies and gentlemen, please resurrect the puns, Bertrand Baguette will drive for OAK Racing in the WEC and at Le Mans in LMP1. Will he rise to the occasion under the warmth of the French crowds?

Clearly Baguette has had enough of loafing around and really kneads the dough to earn a crust now. I'm sure he will rise to this challenge, just hope nothing goes a-rye.
phew!

Let us hope that this year will season him enough, so Baguette will be able to cope with the toasty conditions in Bahrain. He spent the last year nibbling at the crusts and needs to get up to speed as the teams are always separating the wheat from the chaff.
