Thank-you to all of my new Internet stranger friends for being so gracious about having my post shoved onto your dashboards. I loved reading all of your kind tags and comments! Both Martin and Bosco have been gone for several years now but for 24 hours, they felt very present in my life. I greatly appreciate this gift. ❤️
saw some ppl being like "MV1s championships aren't legit bc Dan took the fastest lap point from Lando and his teammate blocks his rivals while giving him a tow" and it's like ... oh hun that's what a teammate is supposed to be there for and that one point ain't that deep in the +60 points gap at the end
Can't believe ppl genuinely think McLaren favoured Lando yesterday when it was such a hail marry, is this your first teambattle for the championship? bc y'all wouldn't have survived the Brocedes years
never thought my fanfic days would prep me for uni but here I am slamming 10k characters down in one night for my ba just like I used to do for my fics lmao
my judgy ass saw the F1 movie last night so here's my thoughts whether you like it or not lmao
I think if you can just turn off all racing logic and enjoy the movie for the Hollywood blockbuster that it's supposed to be it can be fun, I couldn't really do that so ... yeah
i might not have actually watched that much of Daytona but that just seemed super unrealistic for a 24h race (and I have watched a fair share of Spa/Le Mans/Nürburgring)
The bf and I both felt like the crashes were just a lot and also just so dramatic (also tw for a crash with fire involved!)
the team was shit for 2½ seasons and now suddenly they have to win a race in the last 9 races? 💀
This isn't a real spoiler bc we've prolly all seen the Abu Dhabi podium shoots but they do manage to win the very last race and it was smth lmao
also just the team dynamic is so wild? haynes is doing the entire strategy out of his car? and everyone's just kinda like "yeah sure whatever u say old guy" (that's a level of incompetence that even Ferrari struggles to arrive at so ... uh yeah)
don't even get me started about the two female crew members (pit crew and technical engineer) who both seem to have a thing for Haynes and that was so bad and cringe and I hated every second of it
also the female pit crew member did a mistake in the first race and like???? couldn't you just have a guy fuck it up??? Why the one female pit crew member???? Poor Queen must have had it difficult enough already
did I make fun of the Las Vegas shoot where he was like passing out on the track? yes. do I think it would have maybe made sense with his apparent back story to put it in? unfortunately also yes
can't believe they got actual commentators and Will Buxton to talk shit for the movie lmao
The fact that rules just don't exist? yeah sure show up Sunday morning and just start from the back, who needs qualifying anyway?
I mean the old guy would prolly not have the super license points to even be allowed to drive if all he does is show up until he wins and then leaves
also that was so frustrating?? that Haynes' only character development was the fact he finally won a F1 race (at least that's how it felt for me) bc he's still the guy who wants to win and then just ... leaves??? like huh
the whole update thing also was ... not my thing tbh
The bf compared it to the lastest Top Gun movie as that was just a big ass advertisement for the Air Force and this is a big ass advertisement for F1 for those who watched that movie lmao
idk I guess I just was kinda hoping that it would be more realistic with Lewis on the team and less sexist but cash is just king I guess
No one can convince me #1 overtaking behind the Safety Car shouldn't be a penalty, I'd be fine with both getting one if y'all insist but you gotta stay behind the car in front like bruh-
If you cannot attend protests in person, it’s time for you to organize with your community and educate yourself.
Donate to bail funds in your city now. Find the sanctuary cities near you.
Go to libraries. There are groups organizing. Do not let the censorship of TikTok allow these communities to go silent.
What they’re doing to TikTok and the timing of it, whether Trump saves it to make himself look better or he censors it on the doorstep of his new reign, it is intentional.
listen i don't necessarily mind that they're bringing back harsher penalties but i think it's kind of weird they're doing it at the second to last race of the season
