This Footwork–Arrows car had a disastrious 1991 season. Firstly it couldn’t fit its engine, the Porsche 3512 3.5 V12, but even when it did it was heavy, slow, and unreliable. By mid-season the team redesigned the chassis to fit a Hart-prepared Cosworth-Ford DFR V8 engine, but that only led to a season high 10th-place finish in the Japanese Grand Prix.
First seen in sim racing with F1GP (1992).

Max Verstappen has signed a deal with EA to create content for the EA Sports brand. He will also carry the EA logo on his helmet throughout the 2023 season. This does appear to be a personal deal, not a Red Bull sponsorship.
The little conspirator voice in the back of my mind wonders whether this deal was in-place during the recent Virtual Le Mans event when Verstappen’s frustrations with the event and/or rFactor 2 product were put on display during a livestream.
What does “content” mean? Well, it could be anything from him welcoming you to F1 23 to maybe even a standalone Max Verstappen racing game. Who knows?
