so proud of him. watching him throughout the season, through the wins, the losses, the growth, the emotions - very special. i’ll never forget the season you gave us, lando. your time is here and it’s absolutely amazing to be here with you 🧡
ok this will only be reblogged by one person but if you like f1 and tennis put in the tags your fav driver and ur fav player <3
just a reminder in case anyone needs to hear it: you do not need to understand every single technical aspect about f1 regardless of gender it doesn’t make you any less of a fan. if you don’t watch every single practice session or qualifying or race you are still a fan of f1. if you watch it because you think the cars look pretty or you love the gay subtext or you think some driver has great hair or whatever it is you watch f1 for you are not any less of a fan. not everything has to be so deep all of the time.
alex can’t look at his screen coz it’s brighter than the sun, charles can’t brake, lewis’ ass did break the seat, yuki’s gonna beat up someone in the garage and max is more than 20 seconds ahead of everyone.
motorsport is still alive and well.
HANG IT IN THE LOUVRE
While people are complaining about F1 “tiring” the drivers out by “forcing” them to stand on stage for an hour at 8 PM EST, throw hats and say their government names, please know that there are actually real issues surrounding the Miami Grand Prix that don’t have to do with the fake marina or the inconsequential beach area lol?
Here is a good thread on the racism embedded in the Miami GP. They originally wanted to hold it along Biscayne Bay but that was immediately axed by the rich (white) citizens as it would be held on public property. Instead, it was moved to Miami Gardens without the consent of the neighborhood as it is private property and one of the organizers of the GP also owns Hard Rock Stadium. As the thread says, most of the tourism money being made from the GP will not go to the black people whose community is being upended for the weekend but rather towards richer, whiter areas like South Beach, Brickell, Downtown, etc.
