I get that Daniel has been underperforming and I am not going to say he wasn’t, but like we all are aware that the whole team is underperforming right? This is a team sport, you can’t just blame one person

#bad car #bad strategies #you could say that Lando is the only one doing well imo #the drivers are in the spotlight so they’ll get the most heat for anything #but McLaren have handled this so badly #and people are out here defending them bc Daniel has underperformed #they could’ve went about this differently #also why are you defending a corporation #bc that’s what McLaren is #a corporation #anyway #i feel like Daniel will still not say anything bad about anyone #but like he should #it would be so entertaining #his pr wouldn’t agree probably #f1 #daniel ricciardo

second season together and Lando doing the Hot Guy thing of hovering in Oscar's space still does whatever this is to Oscar

#landoscar #mctwinks #twinklaren #mine #critical damage if you watch this full screen #and rly see what happens in oscar's eyes #does mclaren restrict their content bc it literally always ends up like this and 2 drivers infatuated w each other is bad business

red bull: daniel’s bad habits from mclaren are fixed, he did well in the sim, and his tire test was so good that we immediately knew he was ready to be in a car.

alpha tauri & yuki: daniel’s feedback on the car has been instrumental, and he performed so well in difficult race conditions even though he didn’t have any upgrades and had some bad luck.

rando twitter user who doesn’t have the data, didn’t know liam lawson’s name three weeks ago, and constantly insults the way red bull quickly drops drivers who don’t perform: they’re only letting him drive for pr even though he’s a washed up failure.

#like is red bull too harsh on their drivers or are they hiring a pr merchant who can’t perform. pick a side.#it’s just hilarious that every single person who actually knows the sport & daniel’s data/contributions #won’t shut up about how helpful he’s been and how well he’s done and how mclaren doesn’t reflect his performance #but these random people on twitter think they know better #and their excuse is ‘well liam scored points’ as if he isn’t driving a different car entirely lmfao #like liam has done well! i like liam a lot!#but he’s benefited from a better car/things happening around him in the race/not being head to head against yuki #he’s done a great job but there’s literally been ZERO real head to head comparison between the 3 drivers #but alpha tauri/red bull rate daniel and they have his data and know what hes done for the car & setup #i don’t ever deny that daniel’s popularity certainly doesn’t hurt #but they dropped nyck like he was nothing #red bull axes anyone who can’t perform #if daniel couldn’t do it then he wouldn’t have a seat. not that hard to understand.#people on the internet make me feral. i cannot use the internet. i need to stick to my curated feeds bc everyone is so STUPID.

What I took from today's race:

1. Max is doing great (as always I love him)

2. Carlos is out for blood

3. Logan needs a hug

4. Lewis has too much cake for Mercedes to handle

5. Stake needs to provide Bottas with a pillow and blanket for the next time he has to pit so he can at least be comfortable while they ruin his career

6. Oscar and Lando are in love <3

7. Yuki is on my shitlist

#seriously what the fuck yuki??#im not going to even start bc im going to get heated again #anyway Lando and Oscar love each other #and yall better get used to the dutch anthem #formula 1 #ferrari #red bull f1 #mercedes #lewis hamilton #max verstappen #daniel ricciardo #mclaren #lando norris #oscar piastri #valtteri bottas #yuki tsunoda #logan sargeant #carlos sainz

those 2011 pics remind me of hard the McLaren race suits used to fuck, I loved the vodafone era suits so much 🥹

YES AGREED!!! I love the Vodafone McLaren livery, literally peak!!!!!

Thank you for sending this ask bcs now I get to talk about 2011 in particular. There were these special Saturday race suits and they're all so pretty!!! Hugo Boss did a design competition to celebrate their partnership with McLaren and different artists made different designs for the Quali days. They're so beautiful 🥹🥹 Why can't they do anything fun like that now???? I digress, I went through all the Qualis and compiled pics of all of them!!

#which is your guys' fav?#mine would prob have to be Hungary. Japan. India. Malaysia.#i think all the Asian ones are soooooo cool with all the colors and animal motifs!!#anyways so right anon!!! vodafone mclaren was peak livery and designs!!! chrome/red >>>>>>>>> papaya #anyways hahaha prob not what you expected my reply to be #but this has been stuck in my brain for a while #i remember seeing the Hungary one at some point and thinking it was incredibly beautiful but having no idea the context behind it #and your ask made me finally go to research it #this was super fun to research bcs i didnt realize there was so many!!! literally 18 different racesuits.....so fucking sick.....#im obsessed with race overalls in general like theyre just so cool to me so to see all these different ones is just unbelievebly sick to me #one day ill make a post abt race suit details that make me feral(e.g. when suits used to have race belts & the FIA badge on the neck)#ive downloaded a lot of 2011 pics bcs of sebson but never rly thought any deeper abt why there were so many race suit varieties #the hungary one won the contest(very rightfully) so Jense wore it for the Brazil GP in entirety!!#i also think the Germany won as well bcs Lewis was wearing it for the Brazil gp? but im super biased towards the hungarian one haha #f1 lore??? i guess????? idk if this is obscure or not! obscure to me at least!! i mean that boss yt vid has only 2k views lmao #f1 #formula 1 #lewis hamilton #jenson button #mclaren #vodafone mclaren #formula oe #we do a little bit of f1 #catie.asks.#f1 lore

I feel like Damian would own a Mclaren 720s in black

He was so excited to show it off, too. Don’t worry, Jason thought it was sick.

Before you say anything I absolutely traced this car. You think I can fucking draw a convincing car all by myself?? Absolutely not. This was so oddly specific I decided to draw it lol

#my art #art #drawing #illustration #dc comics #teen titans #damirae #Damian Wayne #Raven #I don’t know FUCK about cars btw #I had to google this shit #I only know what a mclaren is #bc of a tik tok of a dude bro hearing one from a distance #also not sure if Dami would be much of a car dude

Someone needs to study the 2019 Rookie urge to flirt with Members of the 2010-12 Vodafone Mclaren Mercedes F1 Team

#seriously what is in the water with them #I’m not including lando bc I don’t want to know who he’s weird about #but like #he works for mclaren #that counts #george russell #lewis hamilton #alex albon #jenson button #britcedes

Got into f1 lately and made a few pins(also phone charms, maybe I'll show them later)

Lando one I wanted to make like his helmet but i don't have any neon paint so i just needed to improvise with design lol also you can see how small my brush is bc i couldn't paint with anything bigger on this size of cap😭😭
