There was a time in the Formula One when everything was different. It was less professional, less rules and much more fun according to the people who were there. The people you will see during the No Team Orders – Stories from the F1 Paddock theatre show. No, I’m not talking about Andrea Sassetti or Fernando González Luna. I’m talking about the times when besides hard working the sport was Wild, Fun and dangerous! Even Michael Schumacher’s Japanese evening in 2003 is peanuts compared to it. Take of your seatbelt and get amazed by the stories you will hear. Get answers on your wildest questions! Because, Formula One used to be pure fun and these people were right in it!
Why I post this, i just explained. It’s the era of Formula One where mostly dedicated people with only passion worked in the Formula One. From Team managers, to mechanics, to truckies, to cook’s to drivers. It was all pure passion and love for the sport. Ed Taylor made around 25 vlogs about his days in the Formula One during the Covid-19 period!
The series is called “A Pitstop Boogie Boy” Go check them out, or watch the video below; to have an idea what the theatre show is all about you will be pleasantly surprised! If you follow me on the socials, you probably know Ed as he signed my Jordan shirt from 1998! Like him, there are many more with the stories you want to hear.
No Team Orders – Stories from the F1 Paddock will be just one hell of an evening! ‘They Can’t Sack Us Now’…so we’re telling you the tales….they’re live and unfiltered…..Drive To Survive couldn’t broadcast most of what we will tell you! We wouldn’t last till morning tea break these days!! As they describe it!
