"Good Ol' Days" is a tribute to the time when we would come home from school and know exactly who had visited us just by catching the scent of tobacco.
Nowadays, people rarely smoke at home.
It was an era when our Formula 1 heroes were not known for their car brands, but for their tobacco brands: Alain Prost – Marlboro; Nigel Mansell – John Player Special; Nelson Piquet – Camel;
Niki Lauda – Marlboro; Michele Alboreto – Marlboro, etc.
Currently, tobacco advertising is banned in F1.
Car trips were usually spent kneeling on the back seats, making funny faces at people in other cars.
The use of seat belts is now mandatory.
"Good Ol' Days" is, in a way, an act of rebellion. Not because we are against the law, but because we stand for "Good Old Freedom."
