HAHAHAHAHA suddenly I found lestappen 游龙戏凤 is all over f1twt 😭 So please allow me adding a bit of background of this metaphor comparing them with the Dragon and the Phoenix.

In the Las Vegas GP 2023, it was lap 6, and Max was shuffling down the straight at the end of the safety car session in front of Charles, so he complained on the team radio that Max’s move was dangerous. Then one of Chinese commentators said this made him think about the phrase “游龙戏凤 (the dragon teasing the phoenix)” which implicated Max was teasing Charles on track by moving and slowing down suddenly. And the other commentator immediately realized that there could be another implication of love between the duo, because the origin of this phrase is literally associated with a love story in ancient China, in which an emperor (the dragon) flirted and fell in love with a folk girl (the phoenix).😭

So basically this phrase can be interpreted as “lestappen fight on track with love” and believe me sometimes these 2 Chinese commentators have insane lestappen agenda idk why😭

If you told 2019 Max that in a few years he would be softly grabbing Charles’ waist and looking at him lovingly and praising him constantly on camera he would not know how to react

But if you told 2019 Charles that in a few years he would be smiling and listening to Max rant about stuff and talking about their good relationship when literally no one asked and staring at Max like he wants to marry him he would straight up murder 2019 Max to prevent that from happening

charles ‘one sided beef with max for 20 years’ leclerc while max is like oh that guy is okay i guess he will probably get to f1 with me

Max thinking the guy who beats him is kinda cute when the light hits him right and accepting that they will 100% be fighting in f1 together vs. Charles cooking up a hundred and one schemes to make Max fail and keeping pictures of him up on his wall with Xs scratched over his eyes and cursing his name before he goes to sleep each night and and and-

f1 drivers as tracks from the tortured poets department: a very abridged and very biased list.

DISCLAIMER: this is all for fun and should be taken very lightheartedly. Not all drivers were included, but I am open to suggestions as well as constructive criticism.

Without further ado:

CHARLES LECLERC - I Can Do It With A Broken Heart

Absolutely suicidal lyrics that should be mildly concerning but all in all very upbeat and makes you want to run around doing side quests. Such as write an album, or open an ice cream shop. I'm thinking this is specifically 2022 Charles when he trusted no one at Ferrari, or mid-2023 when everyone was calling him washed and calling for his teammate to be n1 driver, and then he proceeded to put it on pole in a tractor multiple times and still hasn't finished outside the top 5 since. Either way, I am looking forward how this song will hit when Charles gets his eventual championship.

MAX VERSTAPPEN - Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?

This one is for Mad Max, who was thrust onto the world stage as an untested young prodigy at seventeen, who was called too young and immature and proceeded to win a GP upon debut in a top team, who was called Crashtappen from 2015-2019 and labelled as overly aggressive to his detriment, who was painted as a villain by every media outlet and documentary and DTS episode, who said "fuck the haters" and won championships anyway, who broke records, and made his own national anthem the expected song for every podium. A driver who is fast approaching greatest of all time status, for his win streaks alone. A driver that most others now just shrug about, because there's no shame in not choosing to fight the inevitable.

LEWIS HAMILTON - So Long, London

Ah, the heart-wrenching track of letting go of your long-term British relationship that doesn't serve you anymore. So many lyrics from here I could apply to the rumoured break down of amicable relations between Lewis and Mercedes, the team he won six championships with. From "My spine split from carrying us up the hill" to "I didn't opt in to be your odd man out. I founded the club she's heard great things about" to "you say I abandoned the ship But I was going down with it. My white-knuckle dying grip. Holding tight to your quiet resentment". Honestly, I could copy and paste all the lyrics here and they would apply to Lewis' Merc swan song. Taylor wrote "you swore that you loved me but where were the clues, I died on the altar waiting for the proof." about Abu Dhabi 2021.

CARLOS SAINZ - The Prophecy

Carlos has been delivering some of the best drives of his career this season, but it doesn't matter because he's not the chosen one, he's not il predestinato, he's not the son of Maranello. No matter what he does, he would never have kept that Ferrari seat over the mythos of Charles Leclerc. "Let it once be me. Who do I have to speak to, to redo the prophecy?"

LANDO NORRIS - Guilty as Sin?

Specifically given for half-flirting with Red Bull for most of last season, only to shake himself out of it and re-sign with McLaren, but I have one eye on him, not entirely sure he's given up on the Red Bull daydream, and Red Bull have been open about wanting to get him, if they can. It's all on Lando to stay faithful.

OSCAR PIASTRI - Fresh Out the Slammer

Piastrigate continues to inspire and compel an entire generation of F1 fans, and as such should form the basis of Oscar's song selection. What was the promises that Alpine made him, if not "Gray and blue and fights and tunnels Handcuffed to the spell I was under For just one hour of sunshine"

FERNANDO ALONSO - Florida!!!

Florida!!! is a big and powerful song about being a Shakespearean villain with a History and questionable morals and motives. Who is that if not Fernando Alonso? "Tell me I'm despicable, say it's unforgivable." "Is that a bad thing to say in a song?"

LANCE STROLL - But Daddy I Love Him

Yeah this one is self-indulgent and too good to resist. He's singing it about Fernando btw. Next.

DANIEL RICCIARDO - Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus

Someone is getting that Red Bull seat next year, and every name is on the list except Daniel Ricciardo. "As the decade played us for fools, you saw my bones out with somebody new." Who knows what would have happened if Daniel hadn't left Red Bull, all those years ago? "Just say you loved me the way you were" Oof. We could spend years living in the What Ifs of it all.

[babysharl]

Well, I don't think I need to claim my decision, I think I know what's right for me. And that hasn't changed from the moment I made the decision. I'm convinced of what I chose.

There hasn't been a moment in which I've questioned it and I don't let other people's comments influence me. Even today there are people who continue to write bullshit, talk badly about it. And it will continue for the rest of the year.

And I will have to do what I have done in the past. Only you can know what is right for you. And it will be an exciting time for me.
