I’m happy to show you around what I’ve got in this little space.”He then showed his race suits hanging on a temporary wall on one side. On the other side was a shelf holding his fireproof underwear, including tops and bottoms, radio kits with custom-molded earplugs, race shoes, gloves, several pairs of socks, and his racing helmets. Water packs, drinks, supplements, caps, and a pair of sunglasses were also placed nearby. Gunther noted that it was everything a driver needed on race day.Fans were quick to react in the comments.
