I was blamed for everything and I was penalized for everything. I was treated like a criminal.
One way or the other, the appeal is against me. And it's very difficult for me to accept that because what I've done for the team in the past six years is quite important.

I've never seen that video of Alain, wow he's so cute

Senna pls dont let it rain
i love the story of 19 year old elio and beppe in 1978. escaping from a locked hotel room via fire escape and going into town only to fail at picking up any girls all night before accidentally ending up at the same bar as the guy who locked them in sounds like an actual sitcom plot
i log on and reblog a dozen posts of elio and call it a day <3
get into watching sports if you like going to sleep pissed off

A thing I made
only like 70 fics tagged nigel/elio and most aren't even about them. this is dire guys
Q. What can you say about Elio de Angelis? You didn't like him, as I remember...
A: Well, you've got that totally wrong... I loved Elio... Elio and I befriended each other: we spent a weekend together in Cannes... We had good times together. I loved him and, along with the others, I tried to save his life. It was a really terrible time at Paul Ricard when he died as we were the first on the scene. He was super person and a very talented young man. I miss him a lot.

oh god okay nigelio masterpost here goes:
pov youâre nigel mansell scrappy f2 driver youâre 26 years old youâre a dork and you have begged and lied and scraped your way to a test at paul ricard with the Actual Lotus Team for a potential race seat in 1980. but. you are still injured from a crash you had in a race 6 weeks ago and you are pretending to be fine even though youâre in agony with literal cracked vertebrae.
when you finally get to the test the car is too fast and you canât cope with it and youâre in too much pain and youâre miles off the quickest time which was set by some italian millionaire musical prodigy twink who looks like marlon brando with better hair and he will definitely get the seat instead of you and youâre devastated.
and then this beautiful rich kid says to one of his friends âI want to help him, this boyâ despite the fact he is 5 years younger than you and he gives you tips on where youâre going wrong and what to do differently and then you find seconds in the car and you manage to do a time good enough to be offered the lotus test driver seat.
and the next year you are promoted to race driver alongside the rich kid and you get on really well even though youâre total opposites; heâs a roman aristocrat, heâs cultured and sporty and charming and youâre just some awkward working class kid from the midlands with a chip on your shoulder but you get along, youâre friends. he even gives you a nickname mansueto which means tame, docile, gentle, but to you heâs always just elio.
(one time youâre hanging out on the beach in brazil when one of the lotus team members gets caught by a riptide and you both run in the water to save him and you get to the guy first and get him back to shore and then you realise elio hasnât come back with you and you have to be physically restrained from going back in the sea to look for him even though youâre completely exhausted. elio was ok but you didnât know that.)
(one time youâre on a flight together in south africa in a tiny jet in a thunderstorm and elio is so terrified you go up to the cabin and speak to the pilot just to make sure everything is ok and reassure him.)
anyway your car isnât that great but things are still going ok, you get your first podiums and elio gets his first win, you hang out at the driversâ strike and elio plays piano for everyone and you will spend the next several decades recalling how ~talented~ he was on that occasion.
but. then your inspirational, legendary lotus team boss, your idol, your mentor, dies unexpectedly and a new guy comes in to run the team and he hates you. he starts favouring elio and giving him better equipment and tries to turn you against each other by giving you different information but eventually you figure out what heâs doing and stick closer together.
by now there is this hotshot new brazilian rookie on the grid and you know youâre going to get replaced by him for the next season so you decide to leave lotus and go to williams. and then lotus starts treating elio the way they treated you, favouring the new guy and letting him test more, giving him better equipment and generally leaving elio out in the cold.
so youâre testing the williams car at donington park when elio turns up out of the blue and says you both need to talk. and he flies you in his private jet to his fatherâs luxury mansion in the south of france and you stay over and you talk into the early hours about how heâs being treated at lotus and how it was the same for you and the realisation brings you closer together and the next day you drive with him to where lotus are testing at paul ricard and you escort him to the garage and you glare at the entire lotus team on his behalf because youâre so disgusted with how they are treating him.
(one time in canada he gets pole position over his amazing teammate and he comes and finds you in the pitlane afterwards just so you can laugh together about the old men outqualifying the âarrogant young kidâ)
at the end of the season you finally win your first race with williams but elio decides he has to leave lotus and goes to the brabham team for the next year. your new car is amazing and you know youâre going to be fighting for the title but elioâs brabham is awful and heâs really struggling in it. so after monaco his teammate riccardo patrese is meant to be doing a test but elio asks if he can do it instead so he can understand where heâs going wrong with the car. itâs at paul ricard again and you will be testing the williams there too.
thereâs an accident. the car fails and crashes and elio is trapped. a fire starts. you are there, you are fighting to get him out of the car with some other drivers but you canât do it. the marshals donât know what theyâre doing, thereâs no doctors and no medical helicopter, because nobody thought something like this would happen in a test.
elio dies in hospital the next day.
the belgian grand prix is a week later. you take your first win of the season.
in your interview after the race, you dedicate the win to him.
tldr i would literally die for nigelio and you should too xx
Aborted lap: I would have been really fast... had I been completed
