"You did a miracle today, Charles!"
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.
Charles Leclerc as Christ Crowned with Thorns Max Verstappen as The Fallen Angel
It's the first time in ages that I use tumblr for sharing content that was created by me, but I'm kinda proud of this one, so I hope someone enjoys seeing it as much as I did doing it!
techniques: photomanipulation (Adobe Photoshop), this is not painting or AI!
it’s media day but why have i seen no one ask charles or oscar about oscar being adopted
if haas keeps kmag for next season considering the shit he's pulled fighting for hulk's life this year i can only imagine his dynamic with ollie will be something along the lines of the "morally grey action hero becomes entrusted with the care of a small child" trope
Everyone else fighting for p1 in f1 meanwhile my favorite midfield drivers Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen are out here competing in their very own competition called "Who can be more embarrasing about the other" and the championship leader changes each week.
shout out to george russell for being the only bitch who doesn't quiver and move out of the way the second max verstappen is in his mirrors much less for a whole race. merc you better kiss the ground this man walks on or istg.
