charles forgetting the us gp was his 100th race with ferrari - he knew that it will be forgettable
The thing that makes this even funnier/tragic is that, as others have pointed out, this was technically his 99th race start with Ferrari, ironically because of the DNS in Monaco in 2021, another issue the team failed to catch before the race 💀
he did, literally said the politicking between sainz sr and jos was toxic and that's why they moved away from carlos. picking your homegrown championship material driver over a mid driver that doesn't suit the same driving style and comes with a toxic environment to boot. shocking stuff, ferrari cannot relate apparently
decided to laugh at your last sentence instead of cry 💀
the worst part about ferrari sacrificing leclerc for sainz, pretending they didn't so they can credit sainz with doing all the hard work for the monza podium and singapore win, continuing to take the sf-23 further and further away from leclerc's style while refusing to mention that whenever they talk about how sainz is in peak form while leclerc has to adapt and follow sainz's lead with the way he sets up the car, hanging him out to dry in the media is that, like.
we're doing all this to the guy that was fighting for the championship last season, to benefit someone sitting p5 in the standings and whose "peak form" and "best f1 season to date", in a car built specifically for him, sees him with the same number of wins, less podiums and less points than he had at this point last season.
we're making a championship fighting driver change everything about his driving style that makes him who he is for a guy who is not, in fact, having his best season to date, is probably gonna end the season again in a midfield position and would be lower still if ferrari hadn't robbed leclerc of five (5) podiums this season either through incompetence or deliberate choice to sacrifice him.
ferrari needs to not post shirtless content because it makes me think that we are going to suck massively since that’s been their whole indicator that they have done something that needs to be forgiven by fans/distracted from
Watched Yuki’s onboard for his long ass pitstop and everyone’s talking about how nice and polite Oscar was about Mclaren’s tire strategy BUT YUKI DIDNT SAY A WORD ABOUT THE SEVEN SECONDS. Props to him because I would be gnashing my teeth wailing screaming cursing
For the record, I have never been proud of nor found it gallant of him when Sebastian defends his team and professes his undying love for Ferrari every damn interview even though innumerous times the team has shat on his race, never learned from its mistakes (on the contrary, defended them and repeated them), and never listened to his opinions.
There is nothing to be proud of this behavior of his for his fans, either. He won't get what he wants for being polite, a believer, and patient like a saint. No, he is just acting like a besotted and mental fool. I hope he cures himself out of this soon, or Ferrari will throw him aside like a used handkerchief.
Now replace "Sebastian" with "Charles" and read again.
