Seb & Lewis swapping helmets
Not everyone is a star, Freddie. What are you afraid of? You can’t get anywhere pretending to be someone you’re not. You’ll regret it. No one will play Queen.
“I coached Sebastian Vettel when he was winning two of his championship titles, and I noticed that his identity wasn’t based on being an F1 driver, but on being a father.”
— Heikki Huovinen /x/ (via chasingpegasus)

Instead try… Person A: You know… the thing Person B: The “thing”? Person A: Yeah, the thing with the little-! *mutters under their breath* Como es que se llama esa mierda… THE FISHING ROD
As someone with multiple bilingual friends where English is not the first language, may I present to you a list of actual incidents I have witnessed:
Forgot a word in Spanish, while speaking Spanish to me, but remembered it in English. Became weirdly quiet as they seemed to lose their entire sense of identity.
Used a literal translation of a Russian idiomatic expression while speaking English. He actually does this quite regularly, because he somehow genuinely forgets which idioms belong to which language. It usually takes a minute of everyone staring at him in confused silence before he says “….Ah….. that must be a Russian one then….”
Had to count backwards for something. Could not count backwards in English. Counted backwards in French under her breath until she got to the number she needed, and then translated it into English.
Meant to inform her (French) parents that bread in America is baked with a lot of preservatives. Her brain was still halfway in English Mode so she used the word “préservatifes.” Ended up shocking her parents with the knowledge that apparently, bread in America is full of condoms.
Defined a slang term for me……. with another slang term. In the same language. Which I do not speak.
Was talking to both me and his mother in English when his mother had to revert to Russian to ask him a question about a word. He said “I don’t know” and turned to me and asked “Is there an English equivalent for Нумизматический?” and it took him a solid minute to realize there was no way I would be able to answer that. Meanwhile his mom quietly chuckled behind his back.
Said an expression in English but with Spanish grammar, which turned “How stressful!” into “What stressing!”
Bilingual characters are great but if you’re going to use a linguistic blunder, you have to really understand what they actually blunder over. And it’s usually 10x funnier than “Ooops it’s hard to switch back.”
May I add:
- taking a French word and just slapping on a Spanish ending because who knows, it might work
- pronouncing an English word in a French fashion and hoping to sneak it through in this clever disguise
- reverting to your native language when a friend who speaks is around, completely forgetting that it excludes all the others from the conversation
Still my favorite story from the Lord of the Rings set: Viggo Mortensen bonded so much with the horse he rode in the movies that after filming was over he bought it from its owner. If that doesn’t warm your heart I don’t know what could.
don’t forget that he also bought arwen’s horse for her stunt rider when she couldn’t afford it awww
#also don’t forget that for the rohirrim they put a call out for locals #bring a horse show us you can ride it and get a part in the battle scenes #and one women went out roped a wild horse and rode for a few days to set #and got to be a rider of rohan
also sort of relevant viggo also bought the horse that costarred with him in the movie hidalgo and subsequently took the horse (tj) with him to the red carpet premier.
Also most of the Riders of Rohan are actually women because when they put out that call mostly women showed up with their horses and the costume team just stuck beards on them.
if this isn’t the best post i don’t
So you’re saying the entire Rohan army could have killed the Witch-King of Angmar.
Witch King: No living man can kill me!
several thousand riders of Rohan: *rip their fake beards off*
Witch King: Oh fuck…
it’s the year 2035 after the death of our lord and saviour, all recent f1 drivers have written and released their books, sebastian vettel in the meantime has released a guide on ‘how to make a baby + my personal tips’
“Quick guide”
a moment that all of us who watched seb, fernando and lewis fight for the championships will forever remember. the slow down lap formation and the donuts on the start/finish straight from the multiple world champions was so iconic and it will stay with us for a long time.

Q: Seb, what are your plans for winter?
Hamilton: Another baby?
Vettel: I don’t know. Quickly done! If you need advice, I know how to do it.
Verstappen: Keep pushing!
SV: I don’t know how long you two want to be in free practice…
MV: I like free practice.
SV: : If you want to go to qualifying and take things to the next level, you’ve got my number
listen i know you’d be shot for breaching security or whatever if you tried, but the fact that you can swim in those giant tanks of water they use to cool the spent fuel rods in nuclear power plants without suffering lethal levels of exposure to radiation makes them a temptation of biblical proportions
forbidden swimming pool
It’s actually pretty safe to swim in the pools as long as you don’t dive too deep. I got this picture from the “What If?” Books where the author answers a ton of really absurd and funny questions using the science as we currently understand it.
“But just to be sure, I got in touch with a friend of mine who works at a research reactor, and asked him what he thought would happen to you if you tried to swim in their radiation containment pool.
“In our reactor?” He thought about it for a moment. “You’d die pretty quickly, before reaching the water, from gunshot wounds.””
Fernando Alonso being flanked by Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel at the end of the race til the finish line and all three champions doing the donut for the last time together.
seb and lewis driving in formation with fernando and then the three of them doing donuts together on start/finish is iconic af
