My predictions for the Italian gp (delulu version):

- Oscar Piastri has some kind of car failure and has to retire the car

- Lando and Max have a long battle for p1

- but in the midst of a fight, Charles Leclerc overtakes BOTH OF THEM

- Max crashes into Lando and he dnfs

- Kimi Antonelli has a bunch of crazy overtakes and moves up to 4th (3rd when Max crashes)

- Williams have an amazing race and get double points

- Isack Hadjar gets points

- Charles Leclerc win (tifosi happy!)

- Lando Norris 2nd (catches up to Oscar in the points)

- Kimi Antonelli podium (yayayayayay)

Charles Leclerc going through the 5 stages of grief beside the track while 10 photographers look simultaneously concerned for him and happy to be getting pictures. Peak Charles Leclerc.

fave piece of Brocedes lore?

wrestling competitions ruining hotel rooms

“…and teammate” + cut to Nico

not telling Lewis he’s retiring

Nico saying his championship meant more because it was against Lewis

saying they catch up from time to time

Lewis leaving his safe in Nico’s apartment

“Everything but a lover.”

THEY LIVE IN THE SAME BUILDING

Nico saying they have a “neutral” relationship

When I found out that Lily Zneimer is actually an engineering graduate with McLaren I felt so sad for her because literally all she is known for is being ‘Oscar Piastri’s girlfriend’ or ‘just a wag’. She’s actually really smart and successful, not just pretty!!!!!

Ok so kind of a hot take but I have a theory that Lewis Hamilton didnt actually move to Ferrari just to get another world championship/to end his career in red. I think that he is working with Fred Vasseur to redo the entire system of Ferrari and change the way they do things to make them more modern, efficient and effective. Basically to make them a championship winning team again.

He could also be teaching Charles Leclerc how to be a world champion. Leclerc always gets close to being great. Close to winning. But something always blocks him like stupid mistakes or his mindset. Hamilton could be working with and/or slowly showing Leclerc how to have that mindset. That’s my hot take. Maybe even after his two year contract, he becomes an adviser in Maranello or smth.

this “f1 is for the girlies” push to try and commodify the sport so you can be a “paddock princess” and essentially a pretty object is just repackaged misogyny. girls like CARS. girls like strategy and combustion engineering and aerodynamics and race analysis and RACING. i don’t want to be sold a lingerie set based on who my favourite f1 team is, i want a sensible and flattering team shirt that actually fits my body shape.

Is it just me who gets so annoyed at the double standards for women and men in motorsport. If a driver in F1 academy isn’t absolutely gorgeous then people don’t support her as much but in F1, it doesn’t matter what the driver looks like as long as he’s good. Same for staff behind the scenes, if a successful woman in motorsport isn’t seen as pretty then it doesn’t make her rise up as ‘inspirational’ or ‘exciting’. tspmo.

McLaren boys pmo when they didnt soak Hulkenberg on that Silverstone podium. Like if it was me, Nico would be walking off the podium blinded by champagne and absolutely soaked.

[tracksidetalker]

Me when I find out that Nico Rosberg is gonna be on the commentary team weekend.

[tracksidetalker]

Bro Martin Brundle’s commentary during the sprint had me cackling. “I once saw a movie where the two drivers helped each other to overtake. But that was Hollywood.”
