Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo at the Redbull RB19 launch in New York
The really impressive thing for Ricciardo, apart from managing the problem you mentioned at the beginning and losing the MGU-K, was just the total dominance of the week. Tops every practice session, every qualifying segment, something that is not common in the context of this season ... In fact, Ricciardo's win in Monaco is only the fourth time a driver has topped all sessions in the 21st century. So that's a rare achievement. And it's only happened at Monaco once before, which was a certain Michael Schumacher in 1994. It just represented a guy who came here with his first opportunity to be in that sort of position because Red Bull's power deficit is mitigated by the layout of Monaco, and Ricciardo's just been top dog from the very beginning.

RPF in sports and F1 ruined my life...
Fck me
When Alex Jacques said formula one should be grateful Daniel Ricciardo stopped by and raced his heart out, but then you really think how just about everybody drove him to the point of never wanting anything to do with this sport
Listen, idc what happens with this red bull seat, all I know is arvid lindblad better get the call up before max leaves so that I can write some angst-ridden, psychological-rich fic. like-
there's just something so narratively delicious about the idea of max suddenly having daniel's younger, 'mirror image' right in front of him. looking exactly like daniel did in 2016.
only this time, the roles are reversed and max is the one who is older and more experienced. and maybe he starts to Realize a lot of things, old wounds that suddenly re-open. because yes, he wants to mentor and support arvid but at the same time, there's this nagging sense of bitterness and resentment because he's Not Daniel. not his daniel. and seeing the media constantly draw comparisons between arvid and daniel sets max's teeth on edge.
and he knows daniel wouldn't mind. it's been two years and it's clear now that he does not want to come back. that's ok, max can see that he's happy. he can see him on instagram. sometimes. and he always looks happy, with a big smile. and that's good. it's been two years, so why does this ache in his chest keep getting worse? why does he feel sick every time he sees arvid's number 3 across the nose of the car? why does he flinch every time arvid turns his head and for a moment he thinks oh, it's danβ

Daniel and Max VS RB Academy ahead of the 2017 Austrian GP | @ redbullracing
I'm sorry I love Charles but its fucking crazzzyyyyyyy to me that Ferrari filmed him butchering the name of a POCβ that he knows and has worked alongside in some capacity for 10 yearsβ as a funny, quirky moment. Like do you understand how many pairs of hands and eyes this had to go through to be like: yeah this isn't tone deaf and eye wateringly cringey to show a white man be told he's fucked up someone's name for 10 YEARS and then goes on to mess it up again.
I know Zhou is laughing in the clip but like what else are you supposed to do after telling someone you've raced against for 10 years that they keep fucking up your name. The whole point of the video is that this is funny? Both the setup and the punchline of the joke is not learning the name of someone you've known for 10 years
It honestly made me deeply sad.
