love his little squished face :)
i think one of the most frustrating things about this is that oscar’s first win should’ve been about his phenomenal start and his superb tire management but it’s now going to be completely overshadowed by talking about team orders
that one time mclaren hung lewis from the ceiling and cast him as apollo in homer's Iliad. in his racing suit.

GP to Max: “ you fucking donkey”
Ok but imagine racing each other from formula 3, rising through the ranks together to finally compete against their heroes, only to be the only two who witnessed Ayrton Senna's car spinning out to his death from their rearview mirrors as Imola 1994 forever became an intertwining bond between those that death seems to cheat.
Imagine going to compete for world championships together, breaking world records together, but still remaining the only competitor each other ever feared. Imagine having accepted their fate to always die on the track, mourning friends and peers who left them, leaving f1 irredeemably thankful for the lives they got to walk away with.
Imagine years later finding out about the accident, the comma, realising that maybe you two weren't the lucky ones anyway, and that perhaps it is the greater pain after all, to be the one left behind when the other is gone.

I felt like I needed to share it on here too

Brad Pitt's new movie released it's first poster!!!!Wow! So cool!!! Anyway reminder that Brad Pitt physically assaulted Angelina Jolie and his kids on a plane (deliberately so that they had nowhere to run) he choked multiple of his children when they tried to defend their mother and spent the next few hours emptying the planes bottles of beer and red wine on their fucking heads. His kids are literally filing to have his last name dropped before they even turn 18.
Also reminder that Brad Pitt, who both stars in and is producing the film, is banking on YOU as a motorsport fan to be a built-in audience for this project. Don't do it. Seeing a cameo of the drivers for a few seconds is not worth the moral forfeit of giving this literal monster your money and support.

©️ susie_wolff 10 years ago with @/williamsracing at the @/f1 British GP.. seems like another lifetime but I do have very vivid memories of the day.
Toto's parting words on arriving at the circuit - in his true direct Austrian style "Susie- don't be shit". He knew, just like I did, that 1 had to perform. That 1 had to deliver.
It was cut short 4 laps in by an engine failure. Huge disappointment after so much preparation and so much anticipation.
But after every disappointment and every failure, the true strength comes in picking yourself back up and coming back even stronger.
Just two weeks later I had another chance at the German GP in Hockenheim, finishing just 0.227s behind my team mate Felipe Massa.
So now, when people ask me, can women race in F1? I don't think they can. I know they can.
It's time for the next generation to progress and shine. With @/f1academy - we want to be the rocket fuel to progression in the sport both on and off track. To inspire and empower.
It's definitely not just a man's world anymore.
