It’s Media Day But Why Have I Seen No One Ask Charles Or Oscar About Oscar Being Adopted

redbullracing: putting Max's knowledge of cat breeds to the test!

btw the reason why max doesn’t drive as dirty against charles as he does against others is because he learnt at a very formative age that charles wouldn’t hesitate to literally divebomb him off the track

btw spa qualifying is what people mean when they say often what looks like "making mistakes" is actually testing the limit of the car. if you watched charles's first lap from the on board, it was super rocky, he was hitting every curb hard, cutting everything super tight. his last lap, he was MILLIMETERS off the curb everywhere and incredibly smooth, nearly flawless and able to cut down any bouncing that way and save a ton of time, because he went psycho, balls to the wall in his first lap. it's the same mindset that has sometimes led him to spin out in quali or practice throughout the year, but it's because he is well and truly fearless and he finds the limit and then dials it back. and when it works, it's gold. i always think about that reporter who said ferrari needs to essentially let charles be insane, because even when his risks don't pay off, it's better to fail gloriously than in mediocrity. that's exactly what we saw pay off today -- because sometimes, it really fucking works.

watching the front positions of f1: Same 5 guys trading off finishing positions with each other every week

watching the midfield/backrunners of f1: Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon are roleplaying Javert and Hugh Jackman in a Les Miserables fight to mutually assured destruction over a no-points position. Lewis Hamilton is going to physically fight his own car to the death. Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo are going to physically fight each other to the death, but Daniel has a disadvantage because Lance Stroll has a sniper rifle aimed at his head. The Saubers are rewriting the federalist papers in the pits. Kevin Magnussen has planted a bomb on the track, and the blast has inevitably caught a Williams.

sometimes i just have to sit and think abt charles, this kid who watched the red car all his life, called ferrari his "magnificent dream," who owes his career to jules whose death also literally saved his life when he was the first person to be saved by the halo (added to the cars bc of jules), who pulled himself up days after his father's death and didn't just win the race that earned him the f2 championship but won it from the back of the grid, who became rookie of the year & the youngest pole award winner (twice), who drove in monaco like he'd rather die in that wall than give up a millisecond and was the first from his country to win it, who got the longest f1 contract ever seen, the sun of maranello, the predestined one, the world champion's twin flame. you hear how the tifosi believe he is the one who will bring glory back to the scuderia and you can't deny their reasoning. he's a storybook. he's the hero. he's come this far for something.
