"F1 is being ruined by weird people"

May I introduce you to, once again, the people who work(ed) in F1 and it's feeder series?

Weird camera angles, genuinely almost kissing, pictures with little to no context, Kimi's Lego car with oranges as wheels, questions all around, it all checks out.

On: different parenting approaches

so keke rosberg has a world championship, and a newborn son. he retires the sport a year after, the shadow of tragedy following him -- the fatal crash of his friend and f1 driver elio de angelis being the reason.

now keke has a blonde baby that looks like its mother and babbles in german. he bonds with his son in the language he knows best — no, not his mother tongue rusty with disuse — racing.

so he builds a track in their garden in ibiza and sticks his son in the two person kart beside him before he is old enough for the helmet to even fit properly.

keke takes nico to the last race of his career in DTM, in a smaller replica of his exact uniform. keke tells him to wave. the roar of the crowd terrifies nico. he can't. he wants to be a racing driver when he grows up.

and you know this part of the story. the boy follows in his father's footsteps. in the sport of nepotism, keke rosberg is the only world champion father who lives to see his son become a champion.

so nico rosberg has a world championship and a newborn daughter. he retires the sport a year after she is born. he knows the same fatality of the sport his father does, has experienced and lost firsthand.

now nico has a blonde baby that looks like its mother and babbles in german. nico wants to bond with her in every way he can. he wants to be hands on in every way.

he speaks 5 languages, went to an international school and both she and her sister are enrolled in the same one. he reads parenting books, has tea parties with them, and drops them to school.

the thought of his daughters following in his footsteps terrifies him, and he understands now why his mother could never stomach to watch a single race of his. this glorious unforgiving sport of his, and his father's, that doesn't care who it takes. and it seems unthinkable to put a child in a racecar, even though that was his childhood.

but if she really wanted, like he really wanted -- he would not deny it.

so he takes her to a indoor go kart track in monaco, in a helmet that's bigger than her. he's tucked right behind her, safe. they share so many languages in common, french growing up in monaco, german at home, english at school, some spanish from going to ibiza. and this -- although it's been a while since he's really spoken it, his father's language-- is one of them.

Fuck it Newey to Aston. It leaked that Lawrence was basically offering a blank check and they have the Valkyrie project of Neweys at Aston already

liam lawson making history as the first ever screaming meals guest to drive a formula 1 race

[racinginchid3nt]

people are delusional if they think that lawrence will let go of his own son. don’t try and bring the show “succession” into this bc it has nothing to do with lance and lawrence’s father-son relationship.

we have seen first hand how much lawrence stroll loves his children and would do anything for them. i’m sure if my parents or other people’s parents were as rich as the stroll family, they too would buy you things and get you places you desire.

lance will probably stay with aston until he believes that he’s finished with f1 but i doubt that will happen anytime soon. he will keep racing.

people fail to see this though and assume just because he races poorly at times. like i have said before, lance could finish p20 every race if he felt that good about his seat and not give a shit about f1. but it’s clear lance cares about racing and is trying to improve.

the media and fans will always paint him out as a villain who’s biggest crime is having a father who loves him.

max's first win... brocedes divorce papers served, fernando's mclaren once again giving up right in front of his salad (home race), briddish commentators only considering max could be a contender for the win at lap 44 our of 66 meanwhile the little guy went on to hold kimi raikkonen behind him on DRS zone the whole time on pirelli mediums that should have died a long time ago, baby winning and breaking seb's record and seb being so happy for him saying it was max's day while being interviewed even if he finished p3, fernando going to congratulate max while he's still in the car because that's the baby criminal he always believed in, cool down room with old man helmut speaking german with the former and new golden boy while kimi hydrates and pretends he isn't there, plácido domingo ???? interviewing the drivers. and all that at max's first race with red bull. what a race. what a guy.

Scrolling through the tags on just waking up and did a bunch of people mass hallucinate something in the cooldown room

This is the full video of the cooldown room and in it Max wasn’t insulting Carlos at all? If you don’t clip it out of context this is what is said:

Carlos (to Max): you never thought of a one-stop?

Max: *shrugs* I mean we could have done it but it was for us probably a little bit slower. And you are just struggling with the tyres, you know what I mean?

(Max goes to sit down. Checo looks at Carlos)

Checo: Charles was strong eh, today?

Carlos: Quite strong.

(They go to sit to watch the highlights)

There is nothing here that suggests Max is insulting Carlos’s tyre management. If anything he’s generally saying that Red Bull chose a two stop to avoid any unnecessary struggle with the tyres. The most popular “Red Bull is hating on Carlos” cooldown room clip going around specifically cuts off before Carlos replies to Checo.

It’s an exercise in media literacy. Take a clip out of its full context and add some sound effects and you have false media.

the juxtaposition between lance lounging like a cat during the red flag and being delirious for half the race is why i love him it's giving shakespearean maiden in a comedic romantic tragedy
