There is looking badass sitting in the cockpit of an SR-71, and then there is looking badass sitting in the cockpit of an SR-71 knowing you've flown faster than a Blackbird SEVEN times in three other flying machines and higher than it many more. I give you, Neil Armstrong, ladies and gentlemen.

Neil Armstrong in the cockpit of a NASA SR-71 aircraft at the Dryden Flight Research Centre, which has since been renamed in his honour, in 1991. The first man on the moon is seen in a flightsuit, wearing aviators and generally looking cool in the cockpit of one of the coolest aircraft ever built.

The people who had uncertainty about Max re-upping with RBR were the F1 press, desperate for something spicy to write about. Seriously, what else was he going to do? The only move he had was to replace Lewis at Mercedes. After that, why go to what is now Kimi's team or, heaven forbid, McLaren.
