"Bring back cunty F1" "Bring back F1 drivers who don't care about PR and just say what they think" "Bring back F1 where the drivers are actually allowed to be rivals"
You fools. You insolent buffoons. You can't handle the Ferrari drivers taking shots at each other in separate interviews. You can't handle Max saying what everyone else is thinking. You can't even handle Lando Norris existing. And you think you would survive watching Multi-21 happen in real time? Or, God forbid, classic F1? I'm laughing.
Okay one last post before the race.
Hamilton's post quali interview broke me.
Maybe it's the realization that he really is leaving Mercedes for good, because Kimi was officially announced earlier that day. The seat he'd held onto for so long no longer being his.
He's won championships with them.
Lost his best friend when he was with them.
I don't know what else could possibly make a seven time world champion doubt himself like that.
And it's for that reason I genuinely hope that Ferrari does right by him next year. That the Tifosi show him lots of love and acceptance. That he and Charles get along and that their fans at least try to be civil.
That for once, Ferrari makes the two of them good cars and makes good strategy calls.
I might be a little dramatic, he is a veteran but he's still leaving his home in a way.
I might be asking for too much (It's definitely too much) , but I hope he never regrets the move to Ferrari.

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 :)
Aston are giving Fernando everything except a good car. They are making him do silly stuff on tiktok more often now, let him customize his own aston martin like a kid in a toy box, and give him outfits that make him look like either a divorced alcoholic uncle at a family cookout or a sugar daddy mob boss supervillain to fuel his evil aura.
Its like Aston is dangling shiny keys in front of his face and jangling them going “Oo look nando new car, oo nando look a silly new tiktok idea!” to distract him from their incompetence. And the fact that its working is very hilarious to me.
Max has really had one race like Charles and snapped 😂😭
everyone who is shittalking charles’ crimes can NOT call themselves sebastian fernando or schumi fans because those sexy bitches were out there committing actual geneva convention violations on the daily.
they would look at charles’ so called crimes and laugh
Someone finally must have asked McLaren the right questions about Hungary!
Autosport have finally got to the bottom of it. Things we have all been saying since the race.
Andrea Stella admits thry didn’t have a plan that took into consideration Lewis and Max behind them.
Could you ever imagine Red Bull or Mercedes being caught out like that?
So they put the two drivers into a situation they hadn’t discussed. Lando found himself out in front and assumed this was what the team had planned.
And then the pitwall proceeded to not communicate this to Lando. And seemingly did not know how to communicate it.
So somehow the guy who is driving round at 300kph is left thinking he needs to up his game.
Being given position, with no prior plan of this and he is looking at catching Max in the Driver’s Championship, what exactly was he meant to think?
However, they realise, without all the information how can they expect either driver to just simply comply.
The fact that post race the engineers seemed to have a different understanding of the morning meeting than the pitwall mid race is scary as hell. No wonder Lando and Oscar were asking questions from the second pitstop onwards.
They might have been told post race they were free to race after the second pitstop but the radio messages and the fact Lando assumed they were in final positions after that point says otherwise.
Oscar and Lando are many things. Psychic is not one of them!
They have a shot at both championships. This is not a training camp, it’s happening now. This needs sorting out.
I know it must be hard for a team to publicly admit their failings BUT the whole world saw and heard them. At least they acknowledge it. Even if it has taken them all week.
My only hope is they have looked back on the radio messages and privately have realised how damming and manipulative they sounded and have addressed that.

I think Max has developed a new level of respect for Charles. Now that he finds himself in a situation that Charles has been in many times, namely a crappy car, an inconsistent team that makes mistakes. I think he has even more realized how talented Charles is to have managed to still be at the top, give good results and save his team despite all that.
Anon, given the amount of time Charles has already struggled with this in Ferrari, I don't think Max's respect for him is anything new. Not to mention the fact that Max also spent several years competing in a car that wasn't exactly performing all that well prior to winning his first WDC in 2021. Max made his F1 debut in 2014, after all, and it's not like he's been dominating since that day. Our favorite Dutchman is quite familiar with the struggles of subpar machinery himself prior to this season.
If there is one driver on the grid - and one person in the world in general - who has always been acutely aware of how exceptionally talented Charles is despite the dreadful machinery, and at times team, he's working with, and who has never once doubted Charles' ability as a driver regardless of results, it's Max. Hell, our boy has been praising Charles to the high heavens since his emotional support rival made it into F1, regardless of how Charles' car and team were performing. So I will have to disagree with you here, because that respect has always been there and I don't think it's anything new for Max at all.
What I do think Max has gained with the issues Red Bull has been experiencing this season, however, is a new level of realizing just how unhinged Charles Leclerc actually is. He has watched that man drag several versions of that red tractor to positions it has had no business being, year after year after year, while also dealing with a team who has lived on nothing but historic glory for 15+ years. He has watched Charles be fueled by but nothing but athletic insanity, rage, unparalleled stubbornness and the love of the Tifosi for years while his biggest (and most favorite, don't even try to fight me on this) rival has made F1 history repeatedly.
If anything, the only new thing Max has developed for Charles this season is that weird kind of fear you only feel towards someone who absolutely terrifies you, while still being the single most attractive and appealling person you have ever met.
you might bethinking "its so over" but the sun will rise tomorrow and youll be like "omg. its so back." remember this
