Initially bc Ferrari's F175 genuinely made me laugh. Look at the sides, every overhead shot kills me. It's even worse when they DNF cause it's in the gravel or or the engine blew yet the car is comically that shape :D 2022 szn is kind of 2019 championship reborn so love it
At first I stopped watching the 2015 season cause they announced Bianchi's passing, which stressed me too much to continue. Wanted to watch a modern race (?) and since Redbull were insane 2023, I picked 2022 cause Mick ! (2015 Silver war lore ruining me however--
Also watched the 2018 German Grand Prix...
Knew that angle looked familiar :( sigh 2019 Charles Don't you know you're Vettel, Alonso, Massa, Räikkönen, Prost? The hand beckons ?
Also 2022 was the porpoising chaos szn & it hurts watchin' the goat have back issues
My fear of speaking too soon jinxed me, I was prematurely praising this grid's Redbull & toro Rosso lineup srry yall 😬🤞
It was funny Cause at the beginning of this race, they even praised Verstappen and his boy genius kid Wonder excellence, and immediately commenting on how poorly Kvyat started his season—ONLY for Max to stop his own race LAP 54/56. Both by an engine problem happening for the team and sister cause it got Ricciardo, SAINZ, and Max again !! in Bahrain !!
Look at this magnificent photo though, the marshalls desperately trying to roll the Toro Rosso corpse of rookie Max Verstappen into the pit before the pack crosses the final lap led by LH (& boo sc) !!
BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX & Räikkönen on Rosberg
Something switched in Rosberg and Räikkönen for this race because the Mercedes, Ferrari, Mercedes, Ferrari quali result lineup at the start was really pit dancing & havin' great ol' battles at all moments ;D
Unfortunately, Vettel eventually lost it at some point cause he ended up closer to Bottas & sometimes Massa. WILLIAMS UP FRONT. well rather up the grid Claire Williams miss u
Fortunately, the dog in Räikkönen (& bc of break problems for both Rosberg And Hamilton) was able to get 2nd, And look at LH and KIMI here tho, fav races fr 😎 (prob) Too much AURA, I've been charmed, impressed, I'm never not thinking of them and their lore>
Promise these blogs won't just be about big names and P1s, P2s, P3s hehe & IK wins are both bc of racer AND team, Loved loved seeing that George's win in Austria was equally celebrated with (and sometimes because OF) their home team efforts, In this race Toto Wolff was asked if "Nico's mistake" cost Mercedes a 1-2 but he immediately refuted this, saying it was "ours" and things the team will look into 💪💪 Big balls, big bucks sport I guess
2015 Mclaren here for a good time not a long time <3 & I'm so ready for Jenson Button to button it up in 2009 F1 but just know so far every time they get to him in the starting grid I go ☹️ he's been so far back ☹️ It’s rough out here for my guy (Drivers with only 1 championship year)
Felt random when I picked it but after finishing the Malaysian race I knew it'd be an exciting season. Don't know where to start so I'll just go by who's in the photos—THIS GRID'S REDBULL AND TORO ROSSO LINE UP !!! THIS GRID'S ROOKIES. I'm just more realizing that every season I pick to binge IS the perfect season to get into (Cuz I don't mess around apparently),
Rookie Max Verstappen. What haunting words. He DNFed his first race and the camera cut to his father in the Redbull garage, evidently furious. He was only 17. He placed 7th in Malaysia, becoming the 'Youngest points scorer' in Formula One.
OH You thought a young Max Verstappen in the Redbull/STR family would be enough for this grid—BOOM Carlos Sainz Jr. I won't say anything more because this dude needs to announce where he's going to be in 2025 (holy shit a decade since this season) it's actually not funny anymore Except when it was when KMag pointed at him like 🫵 and 👈 That's who the cork is
Max replaced the previous title holder of F1 coming of christ (youngest driver to score points), Seb Vettel, who now sits in a shining Ferrari with the Schumacher comparisons already beginning. Just like they did in 2007 for funnily enough his teammate this season, KIMI. Apparently, in his last year with Redbull, he only led 2 races—Imagine then winning your first race with Ferrari:
Obvi the overarching story of this season is Hamilton's THIRD championship ! And probably a Rosberg🫳(and therefore Hamilton) tragedy in the making hehe
This rant screams Redbull diehard and/or fake Ferrari fan who doesn't understand true tifosi but I SWEAR I know what DRS is🤞
