okay time to hop on my princess cake soapbox. princess cake is like the nico version of sewis (except I like it) bc we have two people who actually like being around each other and have managed to remain friends after being world champions. jenson also ADORES nico... he's like the Ultimate Second Lead (if you watch kdramas you know) aka he shows up and he's perfect and lovely and you're rooting for the main character (nico) to choose him who always goes for her toxic first love (sorry... Lewis)
this video fucking KILLS me, because jenson is the one singing but nico is staring at lewis the whole time and was waiting for him to sing (lewis who is in his No homo bro era), jenson literally holds nico's shoulder and nico is staring only at lewis and then pretends to have a big belly laugh when lewis goes "uh britney" 😭😭😭😭this is also when lewis and jenson were teammates, so nico isn't looking at lewis cause teammate but cause that's his friend 😭 JENSON IS RIGHT BESIDE U JUST TURN AROUND!!! PICK JENSE!!!!! i fucking hate brocedes man. shout out to seb for live slug reacting at that threeway
Some FASCINATING Lewis characterization in this article from 2016
‘I like facing the danger and respecting it. It’s kind of like sitting in front of a cobra maybe and the thing’s going to bite you. If you sit really close to it, the danger is it’s more likely it’s going to bite you in the face. But if you sit over there by Toto’s desk, you can wave at it and do what you want. In F1 when I grew up, the cobra was here, right up close'
'It’s actually really good with Nico at the moment,’ says Hamilton. ‘Really, really good. Surprisingly. I would definitely not have expected it to be where it is. I guess it is probably with age. He’s a family man. He’s got a kid. He has probably grown in that process and I have grown and come of age. The respect that we have always talked about is bigger than it has ever been.
‘So now we generally just discuss things. Whether we’re unhappy about something or not, we discuss it face to face. If I have a problem, I knock on his door and ask if I can speak to him privately. We never address it publically or in front of the team. So far, at least. We say straight up, “Hey man, I wasn’t cool with that”. And he does that to me as often as I do to him. The other day, I was swimming in my pool — the building we live in in Monaco, there is a shared communal pool — and I guess he saw me from his apartment and came down and sat on the diving board and when I finished a few laps, we sat and talked for 20 minutes or half an hour. In a relaxed state.'
extremely funny to me that for two guys who were not in a relationship with each other, both nico and lewis have explicitly referred to each other as exes 😭
What happened in greece? I feel like I’ve missed a crutial detail in brocedes lore
Ah Greece... the home of The Prophecy...
Lewis and Nico used to holiday together when they were karting teammates and besties, and Greece -- on a boat, under the stars, they promised each other they'd get into f1, become teammates, and be world champions. And they did. <3 after losing their friendship for it </3
the fact that nico won the championship and immediately referenced the promise he made with lewis when they were kids to his congratulation tweet ahhhhhh I'm gonna kill myself
i kinda have a basic idea Brocedes lore, like the timeline and everything. but were there moments post Monaco 2014 till the end of 2016 where Lewis and Nico had some nice and genuinely fun moments or were they all awkward and distant with each other?
the answer to this is complicated. well, my header gif happened months after monaco 14, in Abu Dhabi 14. so this is nico congratulating lewis for winning his 2nd championship (1st with merc) and its way after lewis said "we're not friends." so like all things brocede they're.. Like That (whyre u holding a man you're not friends with by the nape of his neck 😳😳😳🤨)
Ladies and gentlemen, a short look into the not so distant past...
obviously every year as the silver war progressed, tensions arose but that didn't mean they couldn't stand to look at each other. those 3 years of early merc domination era HAM-ROS were on every podium, and they were pretty happy spraying champagne on each other as I've documented here, and here

Lewis and Nico [from 0:11 to 0:21]
there's definitely podiums and cool-down rooms where things are Tense and they're Avoiding Eye Contact/Talking to each other, depending on how the race went. but there's also them amused and laughing together such as mexico 16 and aus 16
we all remember the iconic nico throws cap at lewis but the crazy part is this was them hugging moments before,
It drives me absolutely insane, positively feral that THIS -- Nico hugging Lewis to congratulate him on winning the US GP 2015 (meaning he a

this whole press con is ahhhhhh. pain
lewis' own words on how they were:
this isn't an exhaustive list, there's many more, but rather so you have an idea that although the popular narrative is once lewis said we're not friends post monaco 14 they never looked at each other again it's not exactly true. things never was like they're childhood besties again, but they also didn't outright despise each other despite what fandom might speculate. but that doesn't mean things weren't awkward and tense too, esp in merc meetings post race! cause it was! but they also had some sweet and fun moments in between :) such is the bittersweet nature of brocedes
