I Was So Fucking Sad When I Was 14 And Now When I Fold My Laundry Or See A Pool Of Moonlight On The Floor

Get yourself a teammate who helps you out whenever you struggle with words 🥹

okay so, what we are NOT going to do is make ai videos of drivers kissing each other. I don’t care if YOU think it’s harmless and “cute”, it’s weird and creepy. Even ai voices singing covers is already pushing it at some point. It’s dangerous and we shouldn’t tolerate it.

Rpf and fan art are fine but keep in mind that these are real people, in real relationships (some of them MARRIED with children). Don’t let it get too far.

me, trying to explain to my dad why Oscar Piastri is now Oliver Bearman's brother, and they are both brothers to the dachshund puppy

For us who have lived through too many seasons of "next year," there would be a peculiar poetry in seeing him—the one who stayed, who suffered, who never wavered—be the one to end our long wait. For when that moment comes, whether it takes seventeen years or more, it will mean more because it was earned through unwavering loyalty, not just talent.

the many faces of oscar piastri

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

I love the fact that the Max-Charles-Pierre photo is actually the second pic, yet Charles put it on his instagram story. Charles literally put the Lestappen divorce to the grave not bed

This!

Charles saw the Lestappen divorce rumor and went "Not on my fucking watch".

F2 is not F1 and people need to start realizing it.

I see it again and again, people trying to judge things that happen in F2 by the measurements in F1 and i understand that the official titles and descriptions are misleading many fans into believing they are the exact same but they are not so here is a small explanation;

What is the goal in F1? Obviously, winning titles, both drivers championship and constructor championship. How do you achieve that? Build the fastest car, get the best drivers, and make the most points. Now what's the goal in F2? You’d think it's winning the title, but actually it's showing off skill and attracting F1 teams. How do you do that? Again, you’d think you would win and get the most points, but that hasn’t been the focus in years, today it's showing off your skill.

But shouldn't skill translate to wins? Well, technically yes, but there's two more huge differences between F1 and F2. First of all, the drivers are younger, they are more reckless and crash more often. The drivers DNF a lot more and oftentimes they are not at fault but they don't get points, also there's things like the reverse grid which are active tools so drivers can show off their overtaking skills too. 

More importantly though, is the fact that F2 is a spec series while F1 is also an engineering contest. For explanatory reasons; in F2 every driver has the same base car, the teams can change set-up and such things but generally the cars perform very similarly. There's still some performance differences because certain teams work better with the cars but it's not comparable to F1, where every team more or less builds their own car.

Now here is the point where a lot of people misunderstand the use of F2; F1 teams look at F2 drivers and choose who they want for their teams and this year, Oliver Bearman and Kimi Antonelli are closely discussed while Paul Aron with more points is pretty much ignored. A lot of people expect the F2 champion to get an F1 seat, but in this year, even if he makes less points, Antonelli is proving himself to be a world class driver with overtakes like this one. Antonelli suffered through, with multiple DNFs, getting involved in crashes and other things out of his hand, while Aron was very lucky, at least until Spa where we could see how even good drivers can get really unlucky. 

In the end, F1 teams know the best which driver is really good and which drivers fit their cars the best. They are observing the drivers in all the younger categories, so if Aron is really good enough for F1, a team will pick him up, but at the moment he doesn't show the results.

The same goes by the way for F3

i wrote this a while back, and finally got around to making a collage! i'd be very happy if some of you would check it out, i'm very proud of it :)
