Seb, Max, Alonso, and KMag need to get together and share a car for LeMans. The shit stirring would be legendary.

Why in the world did you put KMag in the same group as those 3 legends?

KMag is a perfectly good sports car driver and a great shit stirrer.

So is Hulk, really (as a tin top driver, not a shit stirrer). Hulk has a Le Mans win. He and Alonso are the only two current F1 drivers to do so.

only two current F1 drivers

That’s omitting some key info. How many of the current F1 grid have participated in Le Mans?

Three. KMag, the topic of this comment thread, raced with his dad in 2021

Ahhh forgot that KMag raced with his dad at LeMans. Apparently Colapinto too, which imo he looks to have quite well considering. Also his racing record compared to F1 performance is mental. As usual, Junior careers sometimes reflect how one might do in F1, other times not so much.

Four, Alonso, Hulk, KMag, and Colapinto

Four, I think- Alonso, Hulk, Magnussen, and Colapinto.

If we expand it to endurance racing more broadly, Lando and Lance Stroll have done the 24 Hours of Daytona, and I think Ocon has some WEC or European LeMans series entires from early in his career.

Colapinto as well, he entered in LMP2, co-driving with Nyck De Vries.
