I’m not the biggest fan of F1 racing, but I do respect the drivers and especially the teams. But this probably the funniest thing that I have ever heard the F1 drivers say.

Drivers complained during qualifying that a billboard advertisement located just after Lowes hairpin and before the tunnel was distracting them. The advert was for Martini, the “Italian winemaker founded in 1863 and famous for its iconic vermouth” (according to Luxist), and featured the enchanting gaze of model Jessiqa Pace.

With all the women these men probably see I didn’t think an advert of an attractive woman would have an affect such as this. I think they needed an excuse for the slow lap times.
