All I'm Hoping For This Weekend Is A Max Verstappen Win So We Can Finally See Him Jump Into That Pool

Beyond estatic for Max's 4th wdc!! The first one I ever got to witness and the first GP i watched with friends too so, pretty special for me :')

Zhou is winning the biggest FA14 fan on the grid race by so so much.

P9... is still in Q3!! And he improved on the final lap!! We take what we can 💪💪

Q2

Out: Gasly, Albon, Stroll, Ocon, Perez (P15-11)

Tsunoda goes third fastest, Daniel Ricciardo makes it into Q3 just barely (less than a tenth faster than Perez in P11, who had an unfortunate bump on the first chicane)

Verstappen and Leclerc exchange fastest time after fastest time

Imola GP Quali

Q1

Out: Sergeant, Alonso, Magnussen, Zhou, Bottas (P20 to P16)

Oscar Piastri investigated for impeding on Magnussen

Logan Sargeant's lap time deleted for track limits, drops from P17 to P20 :(

Hulkenberg goes third fastest

Both Williams and Alonso hit the gravel, turn 18 also almost caught out Verstappen and Norris

Both Alpines and RBs into Q2!!

Verstappen went fastest in Q1 in the last few seconds

If anyone was wondering, here's the full list of Alex Albon's suffering today:

He pits super early for some reason (around Lap 9), then reports "We have a problem. Tire not on properly." The commentstors review the footage and say it doesn't seem like the tyre was loose.

He pits a second time, ends up a lap down.

Williams gets investigated for Albon's unsafe release, end up with a 10 sec penalty.

It's then revealed he also damaged his only set of hards when that first pit stop got messed up

He pits around Lap 55 just to retire the car. DNFs the race.

It's race week again!! I offer: a Max Verstappen poster.

It wasn't a Max or Lando win, but a secret third option (a George Russell win)

F1 drivers and constellations I'm assigning them

2019 rookies - the Summer Triangle (ik this isn't a constellation just keep reading)

Lando Norris - Aquila (The Eagle)

The constellation is easy to spot, flying opposite the celestial Swan (Cygnus). It's located in the fourth quadrant of the northern hemisphere.

Its bright star is Altair, which forms the 'Summer Triangle' with the bright stars of Cygnus and Lyra.

Alex Albon - Lyra (Lyre)

Lyra is a small constellation that lies in the northern sky. The constellation was often depicted as a vulture or an eagle carrying Orpheus’ lyre in its wings or beak, and called “the falling eagle” or “falling vulture.”

Vega, it's brightest star, was the first star other than the Sun to be photographed.

George Russell - Cygnus (The Swan)

Cygnus is also sometimes identified as Orpheus, who was transformed into a swan after his passing and placed next to his lyre in the sky. The lyre is represented by the neighboring constellation Lyra.

Charles Leclerc - Columba (The Dove)

The constellation’s original name was Columba Noachi, meaning “Noah’s dove.” It was named after the bibical dove that was sent from the Ark to see if there is any dry land left after the Great Flood. The bird returned holding an olive branch in its beak, signalling that the flood was receding.

Lewis Hamilton - Phoenix

Ovid wrote in his Metamorphoses that the Phoenix lived for 500 years. When it reached the end of its life span, the phoenix would build itself a nest, then ignite it and meet its end in the fire. A new bird would be born from the ashes.

Daniel Ricciardo - Apus (Bird of Paradise)

Apus is a small constellation in the southern sky. It represents a bird-of-paradise, and its name means "without feet" in Greek because the bird-of-paradise was once wrongly believed to lack feet. 

Max Verstappen - Leo (The Lion)

Leo represents the lion and is usually associated with the Nemean lion in Greek mythology, who lived in a cave near a town and set upon the local inhabitants. It could not be defeated because of it's impenetrable golden fur.

Carlos Sainz - Hercules

Hercules is the fifth largest constellation in the sky, but has no first magnitude stars. It is named after the Roman hero, who had to carry out a series of tasks, one being the slaughter of the Nemean lion. He only managed to kill it by trapping it in it's cave and strangling it with his bare hands.

Might continue this but I'm not quite sure what to put for the others so drop suggestions
