Le Jank wonders why the scorn was there to deny certain victory on ‘Worn Tires’

Posted on 16 April 2022

Taken from the underground music project and YouTube channel The Jank Guitar Store Records, Le Jank reminds us about the injustice that occurred during the much-scrutinized 2021 Formula 1 Season with the reflective single about Michael Masi’s obvious failures on ‘Worn Tires‘.
