That makes Ralf the ~~second~~ fourth open lgbtq driver in F1 history after Mike Beuttler, Lella Lombardi and Mário de Araújo Cabral.

I guess that is an answer to whom that homophobic comment in the 2000s about "a gay/bi driver strutting down the pitlane" was about.

Some Germans on another platform said that apparently BILD tried to out him 20 years ago, but everyone refused to comment so they couldn't run that story back then.

Fuck Bild.

I didn't know about a homophobic comment, can you elaborate?

I can't find it anymore but I'm sure I read on reddit some years ago that a driver back in the 2000ies made that comment in a TV interview, saying that there was a closeted gay driver in F1 without naming him, and that there should be no place in F1 for men "like him".
