what is your opinion on how to improve monaco

well if we're talking about the principality first of all personal income tax second of all i think it would be pretty funny to bring back the monégasque franc just like as an inconvenience to everyone. if we're talking about the f1 race i suggest bringing back my dead wife quali and then just shutting up shop immediately after (unless max says he wants to race and/or it looks like it might rain interestingly). if we're talking about the bad bunny song well there are actually no improvements possible it's already perfect no notes

#EYE think anyone wanting to tax evade first needs to learn to speak monegasque to B2 level #for the love of the game #and for the preservation of dying romance languages <3

@maxcore WAIT so true actually. they should also not let anyone race who can't at least say hello thank you & he turned in on me in monégasque. this would objectively speaking improve the quality of everything and also it would be funny

[lestapposting]

keep the british away from max pls

[m-carrick]

[m-carrick]

i kinda do feel sorry for kimi because he’s trying so hard but he can’t change the fact he’s not an old man or a brazilian baddie or that he never got to push max into a puddle when they were 14 it’s not his fault he’s playing the hand he’s been dealt

All the time I think about the picture of the sea of red hands reaching out to Charles, everyone just wanting to 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩 and that Leah Horlick quote "You'll never recover from that kind of devotion" and "If ferrari is a cage then I would want to be kept in the cage for all my life"

The tifosi moves different for Charles and Charles would stand forever still for the tifosi

Anon, it's like you're in my head. We are vibrating on exactly the same frequency. At ALL times I am thinking about that biblical image of Charles AND that insane cage quote! And here's the thing with both of those--in the photo he's reaching back, arms outstretched towards the faithful; the second part of that quote is "Driving for Ferrari is an honour, even in difficult times.”

The thing is, as you point out, it's mutual. The tifosi love Charles and he loves them too, but more than that, he loves Ferrari. They bleed for the same thing, their devotion all flows back to the same place. When he wins, it feels like he wins for them, and when he suffers defeat, it feels like he's suffering for them. Because he is a self-proclaimed tifoso, too. Dreaming of the red car since childhood, coming up in the Ferrari academy, winning Monza in his first season. He's the closest thing to a pure Ferrari driver, who has been committed to one team his whole career. His whole life, really. Next season Charles will be tied for second longest tenured Ferrari driver ever (second only to Michael). He has carried the team through some very bad years, always wanting to win the championship only in rosso corsa. Believing he will. So of course, the tifosi move differently for him. In a sport where most contracts are short, loyalties change, drivers follow money and opportunities, what is Charles' dedication to Ferrari if not devotion made real?

Anyway, here are some of what I consider to be sanctified Charles pics:

Important addition: the contract renewal halo photo

i’ve been a longtime defender of the charles-ferrari agenda

i’ll cuss out ferrari 29472928 times a race weekend but ultimately charles’s success in formula one only matters to me if it’s his definition of success

we were all drawn to charles by his perseverance and his ability to look at long odds and believe he personally can spread his hands and bridge impossibility into reality. there’s just no way you can criticize him for subsequently following through on the one ethos that has guided him seemingly forever

anyway i pray to god that ferrari is good to him i pray that we experience the culmination of effort we’ve always dreamed of and charles brings the wdc home because as long as it’s true for charles it’s true for me: a win in red means more.

CHARLES HAS RENEWED HIS CONTRACT WITH FERRARI

[feastofsnakes]

similar topic but it's so funny to me when people are like "you can't ship these people one of them is the other's father figure!" as if wanting to fuck a father figure isn't the only joy left in this life

[feastofsnakes]

WHAT IS FORMULA ONE

[lecmonica]

i’ve never seen this angle of the pre or post lestappen hug???

[sixteensecrets]

I know Charles’ hands are veiny and some fingers thick but it’s always baffling to me that his hands are still smaller than Max 😭

Please don’t get me started on Charles’ hands, this is a very sensitive topic for me-

[alexturntable]

Does Ferrari reset Charles’ brain Winter Soldier style after every session because it’s crazy how his demeanor changes from day to day

[alexturntable]

so maybe I was right

[sedicivincere]

Anyway, Charles is only 13 points behind George’s Mercedes rocket in the WDC standings now ✨💖💅

[countingstars-17]

horrible weekend but still p4
