It's Britney, Bitch.

The occasional adventures of this weird squishy round-headed chibi creature called Britney or something. Something about cars? Something racing?? What? Nico Ros-who?? My Driver Podium: 1st Nico (obv) - 2nd JB - 3rd Felipe Bobert

Viel Glück!

[paddockprincess]

No question, just I miss your drawings!! Please find someone to love in the paddock and draw them?? Much love!

I…gave it a go…

Seriously though, you made my day! Thank you so much, that means a ton to me! I think I’m too old to ever go on the rollercoaster of loving another driver as much as Nico again, but I’ll always love him and F1, and I’ll do my best to pop back in from time to time!

[paddockprincess]

I want to believe. Happy Holidays! 

[paddockprincess]

I was gonna talk about how incredibly happy we are about Nico pitching in Bobby K’s comeback effort, and then he announced Naila.

For real, though, we loved, the...uh...sibling antagonism-style relationship they had, and Kubica was one of our absolute faves back in the day - we were devastated by the rally accident. I’m not holding my breath for a miracle return, but we’re deeply moved that this collaboration is happening, anyway.

[paddockprincess]

Haha I still (literally) dream about seeing him at GPs.

[paddockprincess]

What’s good for the goose etc. except now I’m a liar. Everything feels strange. Good luck to everyone who still has a horse in this race!

[paddockprincess]

Old geezers with plenty of time to wish you Happy Holidays...

[paddockprincess]

Wow. It’s a shock, to say the least, but we completely understand his decision, and we’re just happy that he’s finally happy. Love you now and forever, baby. Thanks for everything.

Soooo nico just won the championship. Is he still a princess or are you going to upgrade him to a queen? xD

Hee, I won’t lie, I instantly booked the urls paddockqueen and paddockqueencess…just in case…yannow… ;D

[paddockprincess]

"Can I do donuts guys? Is that okay?!" "You're all good! Go for it!"

This was a hard one to pull out because my hands are still shaking, but, hell, sure beats the week’s worth of anxiety dreams we’ve both been having over this. It's been a long ten years for a day we thought would never come. That's our heart on the podium, and what else do we care? Once you're World Champion, you're World Champion forever. They can never take that from you now. Our light, our life. Thank you.

“It’s been an awesome weekend for sure, the whole weekend had gone great from the word go, so it’s been very, very special, especially on this legendary track, beautiful to win here. And of course congrats to everybody, to all my colleagues in the team, for clinching a third Constructors’ World title. So absolutely deserved, definitely it’s been an unbelievable effort all these years, so let’s celebrate hard. And thank you very much to all of you, a very, very special weekend this weekend, you put on such a great show out in the grandstands, it’s amazing. Arigato.”

Very belated for Suzuka... Not holding my breath for the WDC, but it was nice to see Merc get Constructors’ at a race he won. #everylittlebit

Q: You certainly pulled a face on the podium, Nico, when you drank it. Is that the first time that you’ve drunk champagne out of another man’s shoe? NR: I hope he does not win any more races this year! DR: I haven’t made many friends actually from this.

[paddockprincess]

I’m a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva I’m gonna go, go, go - there’s no stopping me

Remember when... As the sweet sounds of Queen washed over the track after he took the chequered flag, I could’ve cried I did. After all these terrible years, it turns out it really is indescribable when he wins your home race.

“thank you very much! you were amazing! It was great to sing with you. #pooopopopopo”

One for the ages. A week late but I wanted to add a little something to this. I think JB and Felipe might be the only other drivers I’ve ever drawn in this style before! Sorry, dudes, one last time. J/K I’m never getting over JB leaving.

“Podium selfie - I need to work on my photography skills!”

A bit late but there it is. Sorry I didn’t have the time to stick the other two in (but honestly these massive heads don’t cluster well).

“Sagol! – ‘thank you very much’ – to Baku for this great weekend!”

Can you tell which photo I was referring to for the trophy that I ended up drawing the back of it and not realising till it was too late... Sorry, Baku!  I’m so so very glad to have to stay up till 5am trying to rush this, y’all. I really am.
