The fact most F1 drivers "live" in a…

Set the world speed record on water (with a little help from the Royal Australian Air Force), then do a series of boating safety videos (that were still being used as part of the boating license course at-least 25 years later).
Pictured, 3 boats and 3 guys standing on water....
What’s up with people completely unable to differentiate New Zealand and Australia?
