but ykw at least i'm not on mount everest. at least i'm not paying tens of thousands of dollars to slowly suffocate in a 300-person line at the gates of hell. never in my life will i have to be steered in a hypoxic stupor through the maze of poop and corpses atop mount everest. on this earth a lot of horrible things can happen to you without your permission but there are a few that you have to opt into. you can just say no thanks! and be guaranteed never to have to be on mount everest. much to be grateful for actually

okay occasionally i will get comments on my daniel posts from people who joined us recently in watching the sport and they are always so sad they didn't get to witness him do his magic in real time and it makes me wanna tear up. because what do you mean this man left the sport thinking the sport had left him behind. pundits convinced him that he lost his x factor and that actually, the sport had evolved past the need for drivers like daniel ricciardo, past the need for daniel ricciardo. he was too smiley, too positive, too australian, too extroverted, too old, too washed, too injured, too overrated, too shiny for a sport that no longer feels like the crown jewel of motorsport

and then you have these new people, joining us during one of the worst regulation changes, on a grid with 4 different champions, that has absolute media juggernauts on it, along with promising newcomers, people on their revenge arc and so much more. and all those newcomers earn for the beauty of more elegant racing, from a less controlled era, that only daniel motherfucking ricciardo produced. they wish they could have seen the last of the late breakers, because they are an extinct species now. no one does that anymore, it's a lost skill now. they wanted to be there to see someone be unapologetically themselves and it's maddening to me that survival for daniel meant completely divorcing himself from the sport that he loved more than it loved him, because in many ways, we are the sport and there's so many people who keep finding and falling in love with the magic he was convinced he could no longer produce except yes he could and did, until his literal last lap.
