(Motorsport-Total.com) – Sending our readers with a fictitious message in April has a long custom at Motorsport-Total.com (and our sister portal Formel1.de). And so this year, united states of america came up with a fictitious “message” for you to send you properly into the fourth month of the year.
And because this year’s motorsport season is particularly dreary thanks to the corona virus, this time our April Fool’s battle that there wasn’t just an April Fool’s joke! we do not want to exclude in the future, but that the distance from the number 44 and each 4 4.4 kilometers long, that is pulled by the hair and obviously as wrong as the Sheikh Amahed al -Maris.
But the fact that the message was obviously wrong battle only served as a “cover” for our second April fool's joke. Because the Formula 1 wants to drive ten races without an audience in Le Castellet, we spare the public. The corona virus is currently the dominant topic, so we couldn't avoid it.
Because Formula 1 is thirsty after driving, it strikes close that you have to find some solution to be able to drive again. And because there are plans in football to host the games in a central, isolated place, why shouldn't that also be possible for Formula 1?
France with its hundreds of possible layouts is a good choice especially since the lodge also houses the drivers along the route. The track also belongs to Bernie Ecclestone's ex-wife Slavica, who could wipe out one more thing for her ex-husband by helping out Liberty Media. And all other ingredients were available to make the topic plausible. According to the current state of affairs, however, there will be a race in France.
Some readers have been fooled by united states of america: “Is this the April Fool's joke, the one with the sheikh or both? I don't know which of the two things I would prefer, “our joke seemed to have caused some confusion. “I really thought the memoir with Lewis was April Fool's Day,” commented another. Also on Twitter, some particular person sold the message as a message.
Used to be true of both messages: neither of them!
We hope it is united states of americagelungen is to trick one or the other reader and above all to make them laugh. And we also hope that we won't be taken too seriously and quoted in other editorial offices again. Because this has happened quite often with our April Fools in the past …
A little review of our earlier April Fools:
2019 stride the whole world environmental activist Greta Thunberg at your feet. Why not Formula 1 furthermore? So we thought that the Swede could hijack the Shanghai Global Circuit together with tens of thousands of Chinese schoolchildren, which would mean that free coaching for the race in China would have to be canceled.
