The Italian term “Buon Cibo” translates to good food. Recently, the phrase was taken rather seriously by the F1 drivers who were to disclose a few bits about themselves. While the motor sporting fanatics have witnessed Italian car superiority in the manifestation of Ferrari’s legacy, they have recently brought another Italian aspect to light in the latest mugshot-like disclosure by the F1 drivers themselves. And Ferrari driver, Charles Leclerc, is not the only one involved. Their pallet preference united the F1 drivers who are otherwise divided by their teams.
The official Instagram account of Formula 1 posted a “my first day F1 2023” series, but while the driver gave out some fun information about themselves, one commonality between the five drivers stood out. Leclerc, Oscar Piastri, Nyck de Vries, Lance Stroll, and Lando Norris were part of the post, sharing their favorite cuisine; Italian food.
