Made Me Cry A Little

nico rosberg is a triple threat. haunting the narrative, being haunted by the narrative, and sometimes narrating the narrative (on sky sports)

THIS.

Exactly thiss. Why are people acting like McLaren will let lando walk all over piastri? If you know McLaren then you know damn well what kind of team they are and their ethos. Some of u piss me off so fucking bad. If lando wins the wdc IT IS FULLY DESERVED. "He would be the worst champion" "got handed it on silver platter" NO, do you understand how big +60 pts difference is? If he wins the wdc, it will be because he did his best to win it.

The picture credit

something something about brocedes and lando because

the way lewis cheering for lando when he did well, nico praising lando if he did well. but also lando trying to act like he wasn't lewis' fan (and still is). also that lando followed back nico just a couple of months ago? and nico confronting zak with all this papaya rules shit. and lewis reposting all lando's pics when it wasn't even a win, just a podium. and defending him infront of the media about that cool down room. and nico breaking that "curse". he said that lando will win soon, and lando won miami when it seemed hopeless.

some 2024 Vegas GP memes cuz I was bored

Hamilton in the car ride to the podium:

Carlos when he came to pit and saw the Ferrari mechanics having a sleepover in the garage:

Ferrari fans watching their drivers fight on track and potentially lose the WCC:

Charlos fans watching the Las Vegas GP:

Lando fans watching Max win the WDC:

McLaren fans enjoying the Ferrari drama:

Lestappen fans watching the race and not knowing what emotion to show:

(this was me)

Mercedes in Las Vegas when they remember they're Mercedes:

The FIA trying to figure out how much community service they're going to give Charles:

Apparently there's a limit so that's it ig

the fact that this man still hasn’t won the wdc baffles me. Don’t get me wrong, i love watching Max win, but something about Charles not having won a wdc till now hurts my soul.

we don't give charles enough credit bcs one thing about him. . . he will hurl that red laptop of a car into some points

small rant because this has been bothering me

seeing people complain about the drivers - in this case, max and lando - complaining about having to attend the F1-75 event / making jokes about not going, by using arguments such as, “they get paid millions of dollars to do this, they should shut up and do their job,” “it’s an insult to the fans who are paying to see them,” and, “they shouldn’t complain about the show, since without it they wouldn’t have their job” is SO incredibly annoying.

can’t believe I’m out here defending millionaires, but:

They don’t get paid millions of dollars to go to PR events. They get paid millions of dollars to race in the fastest motorsport on earth. They get paid millions of dollars to compete in a sport that is one of the most dangerous recreational activities humans participate in, risking their lives for competition and entertainment. If they have to do PR on the side, fine, but don’t act like Max gets fifty million because he’s an influencer. He gets paid to race, and he gets paid a lot because he’s good at it.

Just because they don’t want to go to a corporate event - which is a fairly normal thing that we can all surely relate to: complaining when your workplace puts on unnecessary events you have to go to - doesn’t mean they don’t care about fans. Come on now. They see fans at the track every race weekend. They do plenty of extracurricular activities already on top of their already busy weekends. They acknowledge and meet with fans constantly and yet ONE event is made fun of and you’re going to take it that personally?

The show doesn’t pay for the sport, sponsors do. Sponsors pay by having their brand advertised and plastered everywhere. This has occurred throughout the history of the sport. A one off event is not tipping the scales. Them complaining about one specific event doesn’t mean they don’t understand that they need sponsors and that sometimes to promote those sponsors they need to do PR. They know how it works, much better than you do!

I swear, some of these people just hate that these guys speak their minds, and yet when they say anything remotely PR sanitised they’ll complain about that and call them, ‘PR robots.’ I’d much rather hear drivers saying they don’t want to attend than watch them say they do want to while knowing that they’re lying through their teeth.

these fans are also defending the “show” when this is a sport. That is why we’re all here, right? Why are you out here arguing with the athletes who just want to participate in the sport which is what we all signed up for to watch and enjoy? It’s completely fair to criticise F1 media for these types of things when it’s very clear they have been more interested in getting cash in their pockets than they are in the sport itself.

max has always been fascinated by the way the tifosi treat charles. it's fanatical, pure insanity, the way they grasp for him, hands reaching out to touch. and that was before charles won the WDC, way before, even back then when they still had seb in ferrari.

he has seen the jokes, the cursed jesus!charles picture and tifosi kneeling in front of it, he has seen babies handed to charles as if they're asking for a blessing- he has seen many things, which just prove to him how much the tifosi love charles. they love him more than seb, more than schumacher, heck, on some days one might think they love him more than ferrari.

but the insane thing is... charles loves them equally back. he bleeds red, he drives red, he dreams red, he wins red. it's his color, mind, body, heart and soul and the tifosi know it.

their behavior doesn't change when lewis joins ferrari, their favorite is still charles. but it starts to change, when charles beats his ongoing streak of WDCs, claiming his own.

it's then, when max begins to see the true power of tifosi and their belief.

or

tifosi * their belief in charles + a ferrari WDC win (by charles) + a sprinkle of insanity = man turned god charles leclerc

OR

in which i'm too lazy/busy to write a proper lestappen fic worthy of this idea (maybe in the future, maybe i'm opening the docs rn to set up a draft, maybe-) which is very much PJO/greek mythology inspired, based on the idea that gods only have so much power if mortals believe in them. but what if millions of mortals start to actually believe and pray to someone they think is blessed, the predestined, a god to them?

heavily inspired by these infamous pictures and this incredible fanart (and ofc the jesus!charles poster, yk which one i'm talking about...)

"anti norris" "anti piastri" shut the fuck up those are my babies
