Whenever I Take A Long Car Ride I End Up Exhausted Afterwards, And I’m Always Like “why Am I So Tired?

At least the positives I can take from this are:

1) The McLaren is quick as fuck. At one point I think they were like 10-15 seconds ahead of verstappen.

2) Oscar “overtake masterclass” Piastri is still alive and well.

3) Oscar’s pace seems to be matching Landos so far which is where he was losing out last year.

4) Oscar has just a little more fire in him. His radio after being told to hold position “I’m faster,” whereas I feel like the main thing last year was that he NEVER responded to team orders on the radio, he just did it. It’s nice to see that he’ll question it.

5) It’s only the first race. Many more to come.

hi, do you have a pinterest?

here ✉️

GET. AI. OUT. OF. FANDOM. Stop making headcanons with it, stop making fanfic with it, stop making fanart with it. If I see one more "asking chatgpt *blank* about *character/characters in a fandom* I'm going to lose my goddamn mind. Use your own fucking brain, stop asking AI to do everything. You could even ask other real people what they think. Just. Stop. Using. AI. In. Creative. Spaces.

Here are a few of my thoughts about our duo:

Lando’s self criticism isn’t petulant and defeated—it’s aching, full of intent, and a desire to deliver. He understands his mistakes and shoulders responsibility, all while continuing to show up with openness and honesty. It’s grit and resilience. A championship mentality.

Oscar’s natural stoicism does not lack passion and intensity. It shows a relentless pursuit of excellence under pressure and a quiet confidence that is never rooted in arrogance. He bounces back quickly, not because he’s cold, but because he’s passionate. A championship mentality.

They are different. Complementary. A championship won by either one of them will look differently. I stand by them both. I believe in them both.

nothing funnier to me than when AI does math wrong. like I get why it happens, it's a language model that's treating the numbers you feed it as words rather than integers and then giving you an answer based on how those words typically appear in a block of text instead of actually performing a calculation. but the one thing computers are genuinely incredible at. you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did, look at it it's got hallucinations
