After reading your essays about Charles and PR, I have a bit of a rant when it comes to Charles’ image rn, and how (I believe) him and RBR are working together. I mean, it could be very likely considering his and RBR’s posts.

Let’s have a bit of a look at the 3 accounts that are posting Charles almost all the time rn. Ferrari, Charles himself and Red Bull. Ferrari’s posts are 1. Not much, considering he is their driver, and 3. Are either way too polished or just a thirst trap. Considering that Ferrari is his team, they aren’t posting Charles much, since the beginning of the year. And they haven’t changed their tactics, their posts are too polished, too stuffy if you could say, with the inly non-stuffy one being a pic of Charles falling while playing Football and Skiing, and even that doesn’t look authentic or like they’re really pleased about it.

Now, let’s see Charles. Since the beginning of 2024, there has been a shift in Charles’ social media, it isn’t all theist traps, or any of that shit. I mean, yeah he had a few posts that showed his adventurous fun side of his personality, but they were very limited compared to his curated posts, the posts that are what we could consider “safe” and “according to Ferrari’s agenda” kind of. But since ten beginning of the year, there is only one post which falling in this category, which is a post made by his sponsor, APM Monaco, for a shoot. The rest are, charles is drunk, relatable in LA, being goofy while skiing. Almost as if Charles is trying to detach himself from the Ferrari image if that PR robot who only has looks.

Now onto the last side of this, Red Bull. RBR have always been known as fun, spontaneous, almost chaotic. I mean, their slogan is and always have been and always will be Red Bull Gives You Wings. They have been the ones who never restricted their drivers, Max, Checo and Daniel can post whatever they want. But lets be real, I don’t think Max and Checo use their Socials much (with the chance of Max having a private account which we all knew from his twitch saga 😂, but its mire because Max is a private person).

Back to Charles, Red Bull is posting Charles in a way that shows that he’s a beast on track, only him can battle Max, but also in a way that shows the fun aide, the sticker war?? And I believe RBR and Charles are working together in that sense, RBR showing the dynamic between both, as well as highlight the fact that the ones with the most battles with Max that are the most entertaining is Charles, while Charles is detaching himself from that stuffy Ferrari thirst trap-y agenda into the more fun loving, spontaneous person.

And I think they’re doing that in order to prepare for something. Like Charles to RBR announcement when bestie??

yeah, something may be going on behind the scenes! i mentioned charles' rebrand from ferrari-focused posts to more individual approach here and the recent change of posting patterns (ft. posting charles) on the RBR socials here

i got a bit caught by surprise on thursday -- a day where ferrari is known to post contract announcements -- in the morning f1 posted joint post with ferrari about charles' monza win, then posted a pic with charles' monza helmet quote "one team one dream" (which was rumoured to be his OG renewal helmet, renewal got obviously postponed). all posts lead me and my friends to believe that an announcement is imminent and i patiently waited for the charles renewal announcement to drop.

nothing happened.

the same day, however, we got a new article that updated that carlos' negotiations for a new contract aren't working out the way they wanted. apparently ferrari only wants to give carlos a one year long contract, carlos wants a multi-year contract. that once again delayed the contract renewal announcement.

remember that fred mentioned he wanted to have the contracts locked by christmas so they're ready by january.

also seems like carlos' deadline for contract is the testing in bahrain. they want to announce before the testing starts.

there were also rumours that because of that, ferrari is eyeing alex albon as a possible second driver.

again, it's all quite messy and not fully confirmed but just the delayed timeline shows how many complications ferrari may be facing right now.

is red bull part of the game? maybe, maybe not. we can't tell, we can only follow their social pattern and see how they move in the future.

I cannot believe that last year everyone was saying Charles was dumb for staying with Ferrari instead of leaving, and now, a year latter, AM and merc seem like a huge downgrade from ferrari. Oh sweet vindication

it’s not too late for charles to sign for red bull in the summer after lewis announces his retirement after he stumbles upon max at a hole in the wall bar and then he goes to max’s birthday party and then they go to a charity event together and then they finish p4 and p5 in brazil and then charles blows max in his driver room and they start a weird relationship and things fall apart once they become teammates in 2025 and max keeps winning then charles breaks up with him and then takes the lead of the championship and

Max being asked about potentially having been teammates with Lewis at Red Bull had Christian Horner said yes to the proposal, and answering in the most Max Verstappen way possible.

And gesturing vaguely at the others Charles.

It’s been 24 hours approximately since Charles’ contract announcement was made, and to be quite frank, I’m happy for him really, but I do have some concerns, because it’s Ferrari and from what I’ve seen in my limited knowledge as an F1 fan, Ferrari can’t be trusted.

From watching old season’s races, to watching Drive to Survive, and reading a lot into the whole situation, Ferrari are the sort of team that would put the expectations, yet they somehow find a way to fuck up.

Yes, I understand that the team has changed in the past 15 years multiple times, with the team principal changing and Ferrari getting Fred specifically for Charles, but let’s all look back at something very simple and very small. Ferrari never learn.

We’ve seen it with some of the big names, Fernando was a champion contender to the last race in 2010, but in a way, Ferrari fucked him over. Seb was fresh if 4 consecutive titles, and went to Ferrari because of the issues at Red Bull, hoping to be victor again with them, and he had the chance to be a world champion with them, but again, Ferrari fucked him over. Then after giving them hope, after being the first title contender since Alonso, they decided to fire him, and sign Sainz. Kimi was the only exception of him being their only champion since Schumacher, and even his title has controversy around it, and when he came back in his second stint, they fucked their last champion over, again. Why? Because it’s Ferrari and they never learn!

Ferrari runs high in politics, that is something that is very VERY well known. They are also in some sort of daydream if them being the best because of their history, and while yes, history does play a major part in Formula 1, the teams that are currently successful and have been fir the past few years, it is the “young” teams, the teams that are focused on now, rather than back in the day, with Mercedes who were founded as Mercedes in 2010 as Mercedes that we know today, and Red Bull who were founded in 2005, with no prior history, an energy drink company breaking records left and right over prestigious car constructors from around the world.

And as Horner said in a podcast episode (if i remember correctly it was Eff Won) he clearly said that Ferrari’s main problem is that they really a country team, not a motorsport team now. They’re so focused on being that Italian historical team, rather that being a true competitor. And while yes, 2024 will show us what will happen, I’m still on the look for them, because they have now one of the best drivers on the grid committed to them, for fucks sake he bleeds Ferrari, and we all can bet that there is an exit clause that is very VERY prominent in that contract, because Charles wants to win, ideally with Ferrari, but ultimately he wants to win. And if Ferrari can’t provide him that, you can bet that other teams (Red Bull I’m staring at you my beloved team) are going to work hard on snatching him. And let’s all be real for a minute, if Horner likes a driver, and believes in them, you can bet your money that whenever the slightest of chance appears, he will snatch it with everything, and Christian believes in Charles in a way that I’ve only seen with Max, so you can put two and two together and wait. Let’s see what 2024 will bring for Ferrari’s predestined
