You guys comparing every rivalry to Brocedes makes me wonder if you guys understand brocedes at all.

Lewis, who was borderline poor, came from this English city and had a dream of becoming the best despite this.

And Nico, who came from money, his father won that championship, and he was chasing after it too. He lived in Monaco, surrounded by the richest people, and the sport.

Lewis, who knew that every weekend could be his last in karts, because he had co compete against kids like Nico, rich, white and surrounded by Formula 1. Always the exception.

Nico, who was bullied because he looked like a girl, and was just SO lonely.

Lewis and Nico, who became friends for theor shared passion, and loneliness. Coming from the most different background.

Keke Rosberg had to buy a whole karting team to make sure that Lewis and Nico were teammates.

Anthony Hamilton who told Lewis to beware, that Keke bought the team, so his son could be favoured.

Nico who got to Formula 1 to prove he wasn't just his father's son, he was more, his own person. Lewis who was the first ever black man to get to Formula 1.

Nico and Lewis who were teammates again at Mercedes, who promised Niki Lauda that they would go along and that they could handle it.

But they just couldn't, with Nico having to prove he wasn't just daddies money, always in the shadow of Keke, and now of Lewis, a world champion in his second year in F1, and Lewis having to prove it wasn't just the car, that he wasn't a one hit wonder.

Still everything happened, they weren't friends anymore, Nico could only eat Frosties before their last race, cereal they ate together when they were kids. Lewis couldn't stop talking about how everything had changed, they didn't eat pizza together anymore, they barely talked. And how Nico had went and got married.

Nico's first podium had seen Lewis at the top, and Nico's last podium had too seen lewis at the top. Just how much had changed in 8 years.

First podium

Last podium

All this to say, that Brocedes is just so particular and different from other rivalries. Because both of them had something to prove.

Lando and Oscar aren't like this, they weren't that different when they were kids. They were barely friends as is.

Kimi and George definitely aren't this. They don't have the history, don't have the pettiness or craziness or childhood lore that Nico and Lewis had.

Lando isn't all like Seb, he doesn't think of himself as a peacemaker, as also the wrong doer. Who says mean stuff about Lewis and Nico, all those clips I'm sure you have seen. Lando isn't PR trained, something like that would never happen today.

Also Kimi and George, and Lando and Oscar really aren't like Sebmark either. Mark being so close to retirement, just chasing that WDC, his childhood dream. Being there for the start of a team, suffering when he got bad results because he knew that RedBull would be good at some point.

Got paired up with this kid, who got favourite because he was younger, who was faster. Who sent Mark crazy. Because he was just that protected by the team, even if it was his fault.

Kid who sent Mark into retirement, without his championship.

But also Sebastian, who wanted to be friends wtih Mark but met this man who hated him, because he was just better.

The sport hated Sebastian because he was good. Sebastian in 2013 won so much he got F1 stats to go down in views.

I understand that Lando is hated, but he can never get this lever. And Oscar isnt all like Mark either, it isn’t over for him yet. But it was for Mark.

I am mentally ill and love their rivalries, and hate when people comprare them.

[cadillacjohnf1]

that being said. everyone acting like Kimi and George have the potential to be the new Brocedes are committing blasphemy. put some respect on that 25 year-long toxic Greek tragedy's name.

[mightbeelara]

i’ll never forget how some people reacted when lewis wore his natural curls out that one race weekend. the amount of micro-aggressions directed towards him was actually astounding, with some people even comparing his hair to fucking jimmy savile?? it’s mental that even in the modern era, black people are still facing prejudice simply for the way their hair grows. and people then question why he had his hair so short at the beginning of his career

on that note the amount of times i see racial jokes about lewis kinda blows my mind. no matter how long he’s been in this sport, and what he has done for the sport in general, some people will always just reduce him to ‘the black one’ and it’s so infuriating to me. people go out of their way to undermine his achievements and have no real reason as to why they dislike him, i’m sick of pretending that it’s just because they don’t like him. if you have a valid reason to dislike him then fair enough, but if you can’t accept that his accomplishments isn’t something to be impressed about, that’s a you problem.

I can not deal with unc out there soft launching every other week

Like I can't even defend him, not even from a moral perspective because all of that went down the drain the minute this surfaced, but from a brand image pov

Like why spend literal years building a brand and positioning yourself as the activities of your sport and the advocate of the people only to throw it all away in a move like this

I thought he was smarter than this, he knows he is a business and his brand is a business and his image is a business so to do this just doesn't make sense to everything he has been doing all this time

But again he is best friends with Sebastian Vettle so he probably learned a thing or two about performative activism from him

In fact at this point he is in the same league as SV to me. But at least the racing is half decent

[mightbeelara]

exactly what i’ve been saying

[mightbeelara]

not lewis being able to say nico’s name without hyperventilating. it’s progress guys.

[mightbeelara]

so kim is in japan with lewis.

i just find it funny that every single time they have an interaction it gets spotted by the paparazzi. coincidence, i think not.

be prepared to see her more than the cars on race weekend. i might just boycott the race.

[mightbeelara]

so we all know that brocedes is called that because of bromance-mercedes.

but i was just thinking, what was lewis and nico’s ship name before they were in mercedes? does anyone know?

[mightbeelara]

the fact that i’m getting torched on tiktok for posting about ollie bearman following a white supremacist (whilst claiming to love lewis hamilton) and people are simply brushing it off like it’s nothing?

and then you get those people who say ‘can we keep politics out of the sport?’. do people not realise that when someone is racist to one person, they’re also insulting millions of other people on the planet?

so far their only comeback is lewis’s affiliation with diddy (as if that’s comparable in any way), to which i shall have to say. diddy parties≠freak offs, diddy was a huge and well respected celebrity when lewis attended ONE party (to my knowledge, correct me if im wrong) which was the 00’s. so…

i’m so sick of people who excuse racism and hate in general just because it doesn’t affect them directly.

also, may i add. this man preaches about how great the UK is and doesn’t even fucking live there. shocker, the gaff is in dubai. do one u tosser. and as a british person, he’s chatting absolute shit.

[mightbeelara]

Lewis Hamilton, you’re now on thin ice my friend.

if you aren’t aware, he’s apparently been spotted with Kim in arizona this weekend.

is this a safe place to say that i’m starting to dislike him? as much as i don’t want to dislike Lewis, as i was/am? a big fan of his, i simply cannot ignore the contradictions between his and Kim’s views.

the main reason as to why i favoured Lewis in the first place, was because of how he stands up for those who’s voice is not heard or is disregarded by society.

so when i see videos about them, it makes me question if what he preaches is what he really believes. which is a bad thing to think about, but i cannot help it. he recently liked a video on instagram about how the world is silencing the palestinian children killed in the genocide. but then the same week goes to see Kim? a pro-israel, pro-trump zionist?

it hurts to see someone who i deemed a representative for me, (as someone who comes from a lower class background, and is a queer kid too), act this way. he shouldn’t paint himself out to be this hero for minorities then be a complete hypocrite about it.

if i see any of you arguing that ‘political views shouldn’t matter in a relationship’, you can fuck off, because people are literally dying.

[mightbeelara]

okay call me a conspiracy theorist with a tin hat, but i genuinely believe that this whole Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian thing is a whole PR stunt. why they need a PR stunt idk this is just what i believe.

my reason being is, why as soon as the news broke out (specifically after the Super Bowl), are the teams beginning to use audios from the Kardashian show, or official F1 and SkySports accounts posting about it?

i was literally on instagram before and they were asking Martin Brundle (it might not have been him don’t shoot me), ‘if we’d be seeing Kim on the grid walks’. like??? i get that she’s famous, right, but isn’t your job to focus on the sport rather than the ‘wags’?

they literally got so much backlash last year (deserved) because they were talking about the wags and showing them on the screen too much.

so why are we still doing it?

perhaps i’m in denial, who knows?

[mightbeelara]

can we stop using straight f1 drivers and calling them ‘queer representation’?

i was just on tiktok and i saw someone say that Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg are lgbtq representation. which is false. don’t get me wrong, i love talking about brocedes and theorising about it, but as a queer person myself i don’t want two men who *are* seemingly straight to be called ‘representation’ when nothing was actually confirmed between them.

Lewis i can be a little more lenient with, considering he has previously advocated for lgbtq rights, but then again, that makes him an ally- not a representative. but come on, Nico is married to a woman- don’t play.

and yes, this is damaging because it makes the community look like a joke. use our REAL representatives, like Mike Beuttler, Lella Lombardi or even fucking Ralf Schumacher as much as I hate the guy.

[catboy-cantboy]

trynna explain to my family why st5 was so bad without outing myself level: impossible

[mightbeelara]

did it anyway smh

[mightbeelara]

i might be getting ‘too woke’ but i genuinely need someone else’s opinion on this, i can’t stop ignoring blatant racism towards Lewis.

this may be an uncomfortable conversation idk i felt a little awkward thinking about it.

so, it can’t be just me who’s been scrolling on tiktok or instagram or whatever and stumbling across a video, that is quite literally just a bunch of clips of Lewis ‘adjusting’ himself before he gets into the car right? number one, why tf are we even giving it any attention, God forbid a man get comfortable? number two, why’s it predominantly Lewis getting these kinda videos made about him? does any other driver get a literal name for their genitals off of people online? no. here’s where I get ‘woke’, alright. i think that it’s the common stereotype that surrounds black men and their genitalia. it’s a stupid and harmful stereotype, obviously, but i’m not even plucking this out of thin air either. people literally comment ‘he’s black, what do you expect?’. this isn’t a compliment, this is racism, and these stereotypes are rooted back to literal slavery, objectifying black men one again.

i can’t stay quiet about it because it’s really starting to gross me out, and i hope that other people know what I’m talking about.

[mightbeelara]

am i going insane or are these the same FUCKING JACKETS???

I put my ski outfit on Kimi lmao
