Apple Music’s 2024 Top Artist and Top Album looks like Taylor Swift in this light. We’re loving it 🥹👏🤍
me, a logan fan, going into every race weekend ready to get hurt again
it’s monza race week so that means happy anniversary to the following:
monza 1996:
“the tifosi all around me are erupting. the scarlet flags, the ferrari flags are flying. the prancing horses are prancing, and michael schumacher crosses the line to win the italian grand prix”
monza 2008:
"toro rosso gets its moment in the sun. sebastian vettel is a grand prix winner for the first time. he's the youngest ever, and that's one of the greatest things i've ever seen in grand prix racing."
monza 2010:
"rounding the parabolica, what a feeling for fernando alonso! it's forza ferrari, forza fernando. he wins the italian grand prix at monza!"
monza 2019:
"he can see the celebrations starting. he's got one more corner, the famous parabolica to go. mercedes threw everything at him today, charles leclerc has coped brilliantly. he won in spa! he wins in monza! charles leclerc is the winner of the 2019 italian grand prix." alternatively: "il predestinato vince il gran premio d'italia!"
monza 2020:
“pierre gasly is front for the alpha tauri team, that won here as toro rosso and they are gonna win in 2020 as alpha tauri. pierre gasly wins the italian grand prix!"
monza 2021:
“he left red bull, he went to renault, he's gone to mclaren. he's gonna get the victory now, it's mclaren and ricciardo that win the italian grand prix."
