It Was My Birthday Yesterday And Like Any Other Normal 23yo, I Got Lego. So Here Is My Finished Mercedes-AMG

CW!! allusions to ED and body dysmorphia, talking about mental health in general

The thing is... mental health has always been a problem in sports, especially in such an elite sport as f1. Drivers suffer and cope in different ways and it's important to bring attention to the fact that they are people and can see online hate etc.

But it's funny how no one cared about it untill norris. (he is 100% valid in his experience and emotions, and I'm glad hes talking about it) but THE FANS never actually gave a shit before.

For years jokes (and assumptions) have been made about verstappen's childhood and relationship with kelly in a very negative way, and no one gave a shit.

Hamilton has been the butt of homophobic and racist jokes for years, and no one gave a shit. Checo, Zhou, Albon and Tsunoda have all been subjected to the racism of this sport and its fans.

Leclerc has faced loss in the most devastating way and had to share that with the world, and no one gave a shit. Gasly and Ocon both lost a friend and had to see it be used as a media piece again and again.

Sargeant's treatment from williams was absolutely disgusting, not the firing part, the shit vowles said and how he was treated in general.

Past drivers like rosberg, button, webber have said how they struggled with the pressure. This is still relevant to current drivers.

The weight limit the drivers have to adhere to adding to disordered eating and definitely body image issues. Still fucking relevant.

*edit: stop putting fucking children in cars!!!

SO... if we are gonna talk drivers' mental health, it's gotta be as whole. Fans can't pick and choose when mental health issues are relevant to a driver's performance or not. And it does not excuse bad behaviour on or off track.

This is coming from a genuine place, as I have been struggling with depression and anxiety for years. We as fans have a responsibility to also make the sport safe and enjoyable for drivers and fans alike.

The stewards are fucking shitting me, another 10 seconds for turn 8 when norris was clearly trying to squeeze max.

I understand for the 2nd scrap but jfc

If I have to defend Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari one more time, I'm gonna lose it. God forbid a man has a midlife crisis and instead of buying a Ferrari, he had Ferrari buy him.

I'm re-watching Hannibal and it starts off with the minnesota shrike serial killer. They hammer on the fact that this dude killed all these girls because they had the same hair and eye colour, build and age, as his daughter. Then they show a picture of all the victims with long brown hair and brown eyes, but the daughter has blue eyes...

Wtf... how do people miss this? How did I miss this 10 years ago?

WHAT A FUCKING START!!!!

EDIT: this info was all found on the internet and whatever statement is my personal opinion, is said as such

I don't really have any well wishes for checo at his home grand prix. Because everytime I want to root for him I remember he just comes off as a shitty person in his personal life.

His wife (then girlfriend) got pregnant and gave birth in 2017, when she was still 19 and according to him they had been dating for a while by then, he was 27. Other reports say they only met in 2017? So idk exactly. Then they got married in 2018 and since then she has given birth to 3 more children (in 7 years she had 4 children) while he was off partying and cheating on her.

And I probably can't say anything about him as a parent cause I have no proof of how he is, but I sure as fuck wouldn't want to be the person having to take care of 4 children, 7 and under, while my husband is travelling the world for his job but doing fuck knows what. (This is an opinion based on my own feelings of this situation and information I had at the time of posting it.)

Just saw the expensify-apex posts (pretty sure its a fake account) about Dilano and Anthoine and the absolute disrespect of some people.

They did one about Jules too, where a fan called them out and the admin was so fucking rude. They did the same on twitter. Like what the actual fuck!! It's disgusting.

This is not respectful or in remembrance, this is exploiting tragedy for profit or as a gag?!

I really don't think it's a legit account but it follows the same grossness of having brad pitt as the lead and that shit fucking trailer "who said anything about safe" bullshit.

Osc deleted lap, Albon spin with Colapinto out qualifying him. The drama might just be worth not sleeping.

not a question but i just have to let you know that i absolutely LOVE your blog url

Thank you anon! It came from me trying to make song/pun names for my f1 fantasy teams. f1nebemylover was my other option.

F1 fans need to learn what a false dilemma is. If I don't like a driver that you like or if I don't share your opinions, it poses no threat to you or your opinions. If I don't like a driver it's because I have my reasons, I'm not jumping on a hate-bandwagon for fucking kicks.

Multiple things can be true at once.

It actually just makes you a hypocrite if you try to argue me out of my opinions. Because the same people ranting about others not liking their faves, will turn around and hate on other people's faves. Make that make fucking sense?!?!
