Ferrari is about faith, they value devotion and loyalty, it is a religion above all else. Ferrari is about the bond between the devotee and the team, it's about the unshakable belief that one day their dream will become a reality and about the determination needed to see that dream come to fruition. Many will kneel and pray at the altar of the prancing horse but only a select few will get to rise and write the next chapter of its' gospel. To some it offers salvation, to others only destruction. Ferrari demands sacrifice, it will take and take until there is nothing left to give because it is the dream, the legacy, that matters most, not the devotee. Yet, they still dream and they still pray anyway, because who knows, maybe they'll be the one, the promised prince, the predestined one, the one who will give it their all and more and who'll return the glory of golden days past. There's cruelty and there's beauty in it, it's both tragic and divine. Ferrari is about legacy and they never forget their heroes.
Red Bull is not Ferrari, though they bleed and cut the same.
Red Bull is about conviction, it is no religion but it requires faith just the same. Faith in one's self, in the team, is paramount. Red Bull backs their own absolutely and without hesitation. No matter how far their prodigal sons roam, Red Bull will always back them and, if the time comes, welcome them home again. Red Bull is also a promise, an oath, a vendetta. They are the personification of fuck around and find out and may god help any soul who dares doubt that. They rarely forgive and they do not forget, you go after one, you will get them all, they will always close ranks to protect their own. Their passion and their seemingly unstoppable drive are a direct fuck you to all who doubt them. While Ferrari is about their legacy, Red Bull is about their future, they have always strived and fought and persevered in the pursuit of the next one. Every victory and every moment of glory is not in spite of their doubters, but because of them, because of those who made Red Bull their villain. If nothing else, Red Bull will gladly give them a show.
Red Bull is not Ferrari, yet they still bleed and cut the same.
It takes a very specific driver to master the prancing horse or the red bull, because you can never truly tame either beast. Many have failed trying. But there are still those who become one with those beasts, drivers where, as time goes on, it's difficult to decipher where the team ends and they begin.
Drivers like that usually come once in a generation, yet they were born just sixteen days apart. The predestined son of Ferrari and the Red Bull golden boy. What a fascinating pair they make. What a spectacular legend, mythos, they are creating.
