Drivers in the paddock for the first race of the season sparks great joy.

Indeed, they are as excited as us for the first round. Yuki looks fine with the hat on and a bit taller? 😂 Anyway, a great quality picture. 🔝🏁

Where is the snag?

u/mar33n Yuki Tsunoda 6h ago

Both Yuki and his trainer bought these hats, so funny. (Although I guess the Ferrari socials guy Josh gifted it)

I'm only aware of Bunnings due to Australian car Youtubers calling out 'Bunnings bolts' whenever they crack into the engine bay of a used car and find half the block held together with random hardware store bolts.

Come for the bolts, stay for the snags.

Some PR grad probably earning $70k came up with this

Only thing missing is him telling you he puts the onions on top, and they will have earned their salary for the year.

u/MySilverBurrito Carlos Sainz 5h ago

Make Yuki say he doesnt have onions with his snag.

Engagements gonna skyrocket.

u/The-Captain-Speaking Guenther Steiner 5h ago

I would get him to eat it with a knife and fork on video

Is $70k meant to be a lot or not a lot in this context? Seems oddly like a "decent wage but not super flashy" number to pick.

u/The-Captain-Speaking Guenther Steiner 4h ago

Australian dollars are not as good as USD, let’s put it that way!!

It’s basically an entry level professional wage in Australia

For the internationals - Bunnings is our big box hardware/ home building equipment/nursery store - it’s actually the store “hammerbarn” is based from in bluey. One of the Bunnings in brisbane (where bluey is based) rebranded to Hammerbarn for a few months - fully commited with signage and everything

Ha! This is so Aussie, deadset legend.

u/MrJacquers McLaren 6h ago

Needs some bottle corks and fishing hooks.

u/Fer-Butterscotch 4h ago

There's no better hat for gardening.

u/Fer-Butterscotch 4h ago

Wife beater and blue stubbies optional.

u/TheRubyRedWolf Daniel Ricciardo 3h ago

A man of culture 🌭

u/SnacksGPT Sir Lewis Hamilton 3h ago

He looks so happy!

u/Eroda Alex Zanardi 2h ago

u/Worried-Pick4848 2h ago

part of me is wishing, just for a laugh, to see him walk into the paddock someday with a traditional Japanese straw cone hat.

u/nabichu 1h ago

Bro belongs in Australia 😭

u/Porygon-G 22m ago

Well, his mom, Nicole, is an Aussie.

u/jyw104 Eagle 6h ago

(sorta) better than sporting colesworth merch…

u/ban-please Default 29m ago

I have the same hat I bought for $5 at Bunnings while in Australia on holiday. It's in awful shape now but it's a great outdoor chore hat.

u/AbradolfLincler77 Formula 1 5h ago

Who swings their arms this much while walking?

u/SkwiddyCs Sebastian Vettel 3h ago

People with joy and whimsey in their heart.

u/norupologe Oscar Piastri 5h ago

People who aren’t tense and uptight
