“how are we holding up, guys?”
the guys:
lia block is shouldering the full weight of the williams curse BY HERSELF. she is atlas carrying the heavens on her shoulders. any success that alex and carlos enjoy is thanks to her sacrifice
Fernando deliberately parking his car in a way that meant that he wouldn't cause a safety car is so funny... he really said that NO-ONE'S benefitting from his misfortune
it’s always “if there’s a safety car” “in case there’s a safety car” “when there’s a safety car” and never “let’s cause the safety car”
The Director of the GPDA side plot: yeah I broke the rules. Tell the FIA to Penalise me <3 what are they gonna do? give the 10 seconds? Do it <3
FIA: here is a 20 second drive through penalty
the only person who had a worse race than ferrari was oscar piastri – and when the leaderboard listed him as 'out', he reversed out of the grass and got back on track. he was not going to DNF at his home race without the stewards physically wrenching a front axle from his hands.
oscar piastri is a goddamn phoenix, and he will rise again and again and again. i love charles, and he is il predestinato - but oscar being a champion is not even predestined. it's literally inevitable.
The FIA and race control are such a consistently negligent entities. The last fatality in f1 was because there was a truck lifting a crashed car on a wet track. And yet here we are years later with the benefit of hindsight with marshals and trucks on a wet track with freshly painted lines and the drivers are going around instead of red flagging the race for a couple of minutes. It's genuinely astounding.
