Gerhard Berger - Blog Posts
That picture of Ayrton looking at the horizon with his shades is so mesmerising. He's so in element~ I always got the vibe that Gerhard and him went on a private honeymoon, and Geri took that picture~
This is from Toriyama's Battleman F1 GP manga~
Frogs and cheese incident lore:
Australia - 1990
involved: A.Senna & G.Berger
This takes place during a holiday stay in Australia with Senna, Berger, McLaren boss Ron Dennis and then-wife Lisa.
One evening when Berger went on a run there was this golf course with some “big things jumping around” (frogs/toads) so he decided to prepare a nice friendly surprise for his good friend Senna.
He went to the concierge and gave him 100$ and told the concierge to “bring him some”.
The concierge then proceeded to give Berger a full bag of about 50 frogs (or toads god knows what it was) so Berger asked Lisa Dennis to help him with this little project.
When they had dinner Berger picked up Ayrton’s room key and together with Lisa went to his room and put those bloody frogs everywhere.
The next morning furious Senna confronted Berger about the situation to which Berger replied “Where did you find the snake?”
To this situation Senna responded with buying the most disgusting and strong smelling cheese and stuck it into Berger’s AC unit and turned it on full blast.
The briefcase incident lore:
Monza - 1991
involved: A.Senna & G.Berger
When Ayrton Senna and Gerhard Berger were flying in a helicopter to the Italian GrandPrix, Ayrton had a briefcase with him.
He claimed that the briefcase is indestructible because it’s made out of carbon fibre so Berger decided to test that theory.
When they were flying above the Monza track he literally threw out the briefcase (it had McLaren contract inside) out of the helicopter and watched it fall from the height of about 150m and hit the ground.
Ayrton had no idea that that happened because he was sitting in the front of the helicopter with the pilot and with a headset on (Mr. Important).
But after they landed a marshall came running towards them with Ayrton’s briefcase in hands.
At that moment Senna turned toward Berger and said “You didn’t do it”
