formula one is weird because you'll race against the man who cradled your malleable, wide-eyed potential in his two hands and helped mould you into something better that he no longer entirely recognises. he doesn't recognise you but he recognises the handprints he left on you. your success is characterized by his. you will forever stand as testament to what he could have done better. the love is there but so is disgust. so is contempt. you will understand eachother but never see eye to eye. you wish you were him. he wishes he was you.

need you to know when i say i fuck with prosenna and sebmark i fuck with them in the "there is a violence in knowing someone so well that you know how best to beat them. how best to reduce them to the worst parts of themself. and there is somehow more in using that knowledge, once obtained in the name of competition for which you never do really apologise, to be good to eachother" way.

i fuck with the imperfect parts and the all handshakes being initiated on ayrton's terms or not at all, i fuck with the "he's too fast for me"s, i fuck with "the team's very happy with today's results" and glasses being slammed on tables, the picture of barely controlled anger, i fuck with "the engine special for ayrton", i fuck with stony-faced media panels and interviews where shit is said nobody can take back because if you give them an inch they'll take a mile and they have to learn you mean business.

and on the other side of that ugly grasping all-consuming compulsion to win, i fuck with the "when I go to brazil, I'm perhaps better known than in france", i fuck with the red wine dates and the knowledge that they are good to eachother not in spite of the years where goodness was the last thing on their minds but because of it. i fuck with the private phonecalls after years of animosity because love is not simple and to know someone enough to hate them love has to be there first, right?

anyways.

something about alpine contracting jack doohan for their five race "probationary period" so if he doesn't deliver in their shitbox of a car they can just. replace him. the man has australia, china, japan, bahrain and saudi arabia to convince them to hand him an extension. jeddah and suzuka are notoriously hard circuits for rookies to navigate between turns which are by design intended to catch drivers out at maximum braking force just before a new lap and blind corners that demand they be taken at speed. i don't think it's a reach to say he's been dealt an unfair hand. here's hoping he survives the horrors of alpine-renault i guess
