We often fight on the cold hard battlefield that is Formula One

But sometimes there’s heartwarming tales from the cold face that bring a smile to your face.

Plonk them in here.

To kick it off… from Alfa Sauber this morning.

That's absolutely fantastic stuff. Heartwarming indeed.

Who remembers this?

[smitten]

That's awesome.

How heart-warming.   Made my day!!

 

 

 

I'm a firm believer that we should sack all our "politicians" and elect school kids.

My heart is suitably warmed. Great way to start the weekend. Thanks for this. Great idea for a thread.

[Steve99]

This is excellent! Well done Alfa. 

[Bellamy73]

this is gold. well played by them

[Ragamuffin]

I hope this doesn't push them over the budget cap.

[owenmahamilton]

Well done Alfa, but the most important question that needs to be asked is was he faster than Valterri and Zhou?

At least no one has used the vastly-overused word 'wholesome' yet. (Until now  )

And that should be a wrap for this thread.  The rest is all cut-throat BS!

Am I the only one cold hearted enough to think this could just be a publicity stunt to make Alfa look nice and it could just be an employees kid being shown around after someone in marketing came up with the idea.

It's the only bit of good publicity Alfa has got this year, so let's not begrudge them.  

 

What would be really heart-warming is if a team did something like this and DIDN'T splash it all over social media.  Of course, then we wouldn't know about it!

Oh hell no, I don't begrudge it at all, it says more about my cynicism than anything.

Now you come to mention it, it does seem odd that a kid from Japan would send euros to the team rather than yen.

No - but I didn’t want to spoil the mood in the thread.

Reminded me of this, although tinged with a huge heap of sadness.

Was there not someone from one of the teams who went to the grandstands during the red flag in Suzuka to throw freebie caps
