He pictured himself with his male partner. Good for him. First time we have had a gay F1 driver since Mike Beuttler as far as I know.

This was rumoured back in the late 90's or early 00's. I remember my mum asking if he was.

Why is it important for us to know? It's none of our business, and regardless of our personal convictions, there is nothing to discuss (IMHO). Acceptance what Ralf is or isn't would be better serve by a shrug, and moving on.
Despite being staunch fan of his brother, I wasn't even aware until now that Ralf was divorced from Cora (ex-wife), yet my life wasn't any better or worse for it.

He's still slow though.

Well, good for him. We should all be allowed to love whoever we want to, it's not up to anyone else. I hope they're both very happy together.

Nelson Piquet does not like this 
The board equivalent of the Jody scheckter chicane. Fast but pointless

This apparently was his son's response to the news
On the other forum was used to call him Half rather than Ralf, because he was only half as good as his brother

I always cringe at people posting messages of support posted on social media to a family member. That stuff is purely theatre to make sure that your fans and sponsors don't say "Silence means he's homophobic, form a mob and lynch him!"

Wonderful! Ralf's initial post on IG was very cute, glad for him and the entire family.

And I guess retroactively, we have the first gay F1 winner! Still think Hurley Haywood's sportscar record outweighs Ralf's CV, but there you go.

Very happy for Ralf and his partner and glad that the reaction from the motorsport community has been quick and positive. Love the statement by son David.
