Ex-F1 Racer Throws Punches In Regional French Ice Racing Fight
Ex-F1 Racer Throws Punches In Regional French Ice Racing Fight-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:26

The offseason lets top racers try more offbeat championships, including big names from big series—sometimes with big tempers! This French-national ice racing series Trophée Andros event ended with a punch from ex-Formula One racer Olivier Panis thrown at Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters driver Adrien Tambay.

Gather ‘round, my friends, and let us share in the madness of this ice racing fight.

Panis and Tambay collided on the exit of the very last corner of the race at Alpe d’Huez, setting off Panis’ temper, reports . Panis then did what any total maniac would do after the race and charged after Tambay, taking a swing at his helmet. Both drivers were excluded from the race result because of this frosty melee.

The camera cut shortly after the punch was thrown, but this definitely takes the prize as the most festive racing fight I’ve seen all year. I’ve got visions of sugar plums kicking each other in the stems in my head.

Speaking of big names, the race was won by none other than Haas F1 racer Romain Grosjean in a Renault Clio. Merry Haas-mas, everyone!

Watch Sabine Schmitz Pass Everyone In A Race On The Nürburgring
This is why we love Sabine Schmitz. She goes out in the Frikadelli Racing Team Porsche 911 GT3 R on slicks as it's starting to drizzle, starts from the back of the grid and makes short work of passing through the entire field in two laps of the Nürburgring. Sabine's...

World Endurance Championship team Rebellion Racing has an interesting way of encouraging each other in the car: by putting hilarious photos of each other in the cockpit. Driver Dominik Kraihamer may end up driving faster so he can come in and tape this back on Fabio Leimer's helmet. This certainly...
