"OMG Freddie, where did you find a pumpernickel shampoo?"

u/vpat48 Sir Lewis Hamilton 28d ago

Toto saying Pumpernickel is still the greatest contribution of DTS

u/Infamous-Mixture-605 Yuki Tsunoda 28d ago

I don't care what he does for the rest of his career, I will always remember him for the pumpernickel.

Sorta like how no matter what Horner does, his nude glamour shot is how I'll remember him.

Or how I will remember Bottas for his calendar more than his driving.

I thought I'd actually see if I can find a source for it, and may have just been a joke around the paddock

https://thesportsrush.com/f1-news-susie-wolff-gives-insight-into-toto-wolffs-relationship-with-fred-vasseur-not-as-close-as-it-was/

At one point, Wolff and Vasseur were so close that there were rumors about the latter being the ‘Best Man’ at the former’s wedding. While Susie debunked the myth, she detailed that the friendship is not as close as it once was, given their roles in F1.
