Remember sochi? The race where it all went wrong for Lando in the last few laps? Where he took a mental hit and made statements about mental health to others?
Remember mclaren not giving him the right info? Giving the choice to an ill informed driver?
Then theres the Australian GP, where Lando wins despite the pressure on him, despite people doubting his every move, thinking he'll bottle it at the start, or restart, or in the pouring rain. He came out on top, 3.5 years after sochi, with experience and a great mentality.
People who shame oscar for sliding off should look back at sochi 2021, and see how those things TEACH drivers how to deal with rain, and pressure of winning. Oscar will learn, if anything he has the best teammate to learn from in terms of such situations. He will be fine.
Sending hate to either Lando or Oscar for that race, is ridiculous. They did phenomenal, they are great teammates, and no person on the internet just wanting to hate on someone will make the difference.
pls pls pls ask me bcs i’m actually dying of boredom rn
taking photos
from this photoset:
okay anyway.
I'm sorry but Max spotting Charles and gesturing him to come up Romeo and Juliet style then Charles looking around anxiously while getting to the vip section
then sitting there as Max giggles and makes random kissy faces to god knows WHO
right before they stand alone together head low as if having a heart to heart might be PEAK lestappen moment of the year
and minding you this man came with his mom, brother, pierre at the beginning- then didn't leave Max's booth until djs performance was done to take a pic with him...
(biggest thanks to @thearchercore 's amazing motorsportcom journalism for her pic contributions 😁)
'They should fire Liam'
'They should promote Yuki'
'Bring back Ricciardo'
'They shouldn't have fired Checo'
'They're gonna get Colapinto'
Actually the only contracts that they should revise are horner's and helmut marko's. And by revise I mean. rip apart. set on fire. throw the ashes on completely different points of the world so they can never ever be put back together or even try to resemble a redbull contract
perhaps it's because i'm also a football fan, and i'm so used to brushing off vitriol that's ever thriving because that's just the sport, but most of lando's haters are so fucking soft, it hurts to see.
you claim you want 'cunty f1' back, yet you constantly berate lando for being 'whiny' when things don't go his way. charles does the same thing, but because it's charles and he's more 'champion material' or whatever the fuck you guys say, you'll deem it as him being determined and wanting to push himself to the top.
lando doesn't say a thing, you'll claim he's not 'worthy of winning the championship because he's not competitive enough' and 'doesn't care'.
you call lando racist, and granted, what he said in miami was not favourable in the slightest, and i'll 100% hold him accountable for that, but let's not forget the fact that he's mentioned he doesn't like trump before in one of his streams, and how he took part in the blm demonstration (whether just for pr or not, i'll still take my liberties and allow this one to count as it was a public display). or how he's never displayed some sort of alliance with trump's convictions before trump was (out of lando's control) invited to miami.
you absolutely cannot sit there and be a max fan, but beneath the table shoot lando in the foot when max is heavily involved with a notoriously racist's daughter. and let's not even forget max being completely flippant and dismissive when asked about piquet calling lewis a racial slur.
at the end of the day, lando is only human, i will admit he has said things that don't put him in the greatest of lights, but we're all acting as if people haven't said worse. i could compare him to seb and say that vettel literally roamed the grid being public enemy number one for a long time, but people will say that they're not on the same level to be compared. and i agree, however we have to give lando the chance to get there and not criticize his journey in doing so.
let lando make mistakes, let him fumble, let him be whiny and bratty on the track, but let's remember he is second in the championship standings. yes, he's most likely not winning it, but it's honourable enough for someone who just won his first race this year.
we're so used to seeing people have such a confident, upfront attitude with the championship that when someone who isn't as self assured is 'contending', they're deemed as unworthy, no matter how hard they try. you can't expect someone to be perfect without giving them the room to become perfect.
I know there's certainly a team of competent lawyers, but I can't get my mind off George in his little terrace with a cup of tea in his hand, a blanket on his lap and his cozy cardigan setting the fia on fire on a microsoft word document
I don’t think we as a society properly appreciate how fucking insane “Maybe God is with him, but he is not God” hits.
That’s some Shakespeare level shit. That belongs in the Godfather. And Max Verstappen just dropped that about Lewis Hamilton. Fucking insane.
both max and charles are hot. but max is attractive in ways I cannot explain. as you said, he's literally 10 times more attractive after a race or while he's streaming. something about people being hotter when they are in their element, talking about something they love. to me, it's the personality, the humor. I feel like max is more straightforward so we can understand his personality much better than charles. imo charles is destructive pretty. the kind that starts wars and max's beauty is the one where it feels like you are coming home. very heartwarming ig (am I making sense here?)
i don't want to start here looks olympics because there are certain individuals in my inbox who cannot comprehend that both can be attractive in different but equal ways. THAT BEING SAID, this line:
"charles is destructive pretty. the kind that starts wars and max's beauty is the one where it feels like you are coming home"

it’s abhorrent that anyone would look at kelly’s pregnancy and find a way to be cruel to her about it. they’re calling it a miracle. you have no idea what they might have been through to get pregnant and how much trauma and pain they might have endured. you can see how excited he is to be a dad, and that is going to be an actual human being. to label their “miracle” the product of “baby-trapping”, to infantilize max as if he wasn’t right there creating this child, and to treat this baby like a road block to your daydream of max leaving her is WEIRD. you need genuine psychological help. if you have anything to say online besides well-wishes for a safe pregnancy and happy life for their family, log off and check yourself into a ward.
