“deserves to win” is such a silly concept. you know who deserves to win? MY team. why? because I love them. next question

thank you for the list of charles analysis media!! if you’d be willing to summarize the ideas from the race podcast episode that would be amazing 🥹

they first mentioned his one lap pace obviously and how he is in fact arguably the fastest (and maybe of all time) they explain that he has something special that most of the other drivers don't have which is basically: god given talent lol

he has so much innate talent that he can't explain or put it into words but it allows him to feel the car to the most insensible degree and that's how he can push it brilliantly to the limit that physically to us seems impossible but he is also very confident in his ability and that's why he's often called a "high commitment driver"

they bring up his famous throttle overlap party trick and how it does not and should not make sense and in fact theoretically if you have some throttle applied while you're braking that logically should make you slower but not him he somehow just goes faster because once again: god given talent. he can feel the car and he can do these things that are incomprehensible to the average f1 engineer and it is why despite ferrari trying very hard to teach this to their other drivers they will and have never grasped it because it is so difficult to achieve and it's basically making your life more complicated and anyone else would put it straight into the wall as a result

another thing they also highlight is his engine braking which i think this is more of a ferrari thing because carlos used to do it as well but charles especially excels at it and he does it frequently enough to warrant a few raised eyebrows because once again why would you do this you're literally hampering yourself you're destabilizing your rear just to induce crazy amounts of rotation to the front but anyway not charles leclerc

most interestingly when they compare him to other drivers and especially max they mention something i have always thought of as well - which is that max is talented but he has a lot of technical knowledge that he applies to his driving. whereas charles operates mostly on natural ability and yes he of course also has a lot of technical knowledge as well which is not to be underestimated but the point here is charles has a lot and a lot and a lot of natural ability he was born with that most of these other drivers have to work extra hard to nail

and it is why he is so freakishly adaptable to whatever car you put him in whether they are season to season ones or literally new generation cars - he will be the first to adapt. just like we saw in 2022 and they mention by example how he adjusted his braking style in testing as opposed to carlos who had to take some time to adapt

yeah that's pretty much it i tried my best to summarize it with some added waffle so hope you enjoy

Max Verstappen is Barbie and everyone else is just Ken ✨💅🏻

humble shout out to @sodacidity and their absolute masterpiece of fanart that inspired me to try this pencil kinda style

i aspire to be like george russell. imagine going:„yeah so this guy was annoying me real bad so i kinda crashed out and committed several crimes bad enough to warrant a drive through penalty and now i‘ll make the guy i committed the crimes against buy me dinner about it“

and the other guy actually doing it? incredible. what an absolute diva.

HELP ME GODDDDD PALMER TELLING GEORGE THERE WERE SO MANY CRASHES AND ITS MUST OF BEEN SCARY AND GEORGE BASICALLY REPLIES "no enough crashes bc the bozos ahead of me were still there but it was fun 😀" HES SOOOO
