I just know the Red Bull Racing admin is delighted to have Yuki on the team because now they have someone to do their pr videos.
Can you imagine Max doing this?
Have you guys noticed that in the Red Bull race suit, the 'Gives You Wings' can only be seen when one raises their hands in imitation of wings?
Can we talk about how insane the mechanics and engineers at Red Bull have been yet again? They were nowhere in terms of pace yesterday and today both the cars are rapid.
Yuki has the old front wing (because of his crash) but he still finished 9th in FP3. Max has been fastest on the mediums for a majority of the session.
This is not the first or even the second weekend Red Bull have ramped up on a Saturday in 2025.
Hats off to the crew!

New Evangelion au update
Max (and his Eva)
There’s a story post coming to that very soon.
Here are the different EVA unit descriptions for each team!!
1. EVA-00X “The Prototype” (Mercedes)
• Design: Silver and turquoise color scheme, resembling a cutting-edge prototype F1 car. Sleek, efficient, and heavily reliant on AI assistance, mimicking the real-life team’s focus on data and engineering.
>Special Features:
• Extreme Stability Control: Advanced aerodynamics prevent instability at high speeds.
• Energy Recovery System (ERS): Can temporarily boost movement speed or power output using stored energy.
• Adaptive Halo Shielding: A reinforced frame around the cockpit area, inspired by the F1 halo device, providing additional protection.
• Story Role: The “corporate” team. Mercedes has the most advanced Eva, but its reliance on AI creates tension. George struggles with imposter syndrome, while Lewis is the veteran trying to balance idealism with survival.
2. EVA-03V “Berserker” (Red Bull)
• Design: A deep blue, red, and yellow color scheme, sleek yet aggressive with sharp wing-like structures on its back and Bull horns adoring its head.
>Special Features:
• Overdrive Mode: When reaching critical damage, the EVA enters Velocity Mode for approximately 30 seconds where speed and power drastically increase at the cost of all power. The team is currently working on exceeding the 30 sec. mark.
• Active DRS Wings: Can adjust its wing structures mid-combat for high-speed maneuvers.
• Unpredictable Handling: Like a Red Bull F1 car, it thrives on an aggressive but controlled chaos approach.
• Story Role: Max’s Eva has a tendency to go Berserk unpredictably, often winning fights in brutal fashion but leaving him mentally drained. Checo struggles with the pressure of being his backup.
3. EVA-04R “The Scarlet Arrow” (Ferrari)
• Design: Red and black, featuring smooth, elegant curves and golden accents resembling classic Ferrari designs. A beautiful yet temperamental Eva, built for high speed and lethal precision but suffering from synchronization issues (aka, Ferrari’s real-life strategy blunders).
>Special Features:
• Ultra-Lightweight Chassis: Built for sheer acceleration, allowing for blistering speed.
• Emotionally Linked Core: The EVA’s performance is deeply tied to the pilot’s emotions—frustration and desperation can enhance its capabilities but may lead to unpredictable malfunctions.
• Overheating Issues: Similar to Ferrari’s reliability problems, this EVA is prone to mechanical failures under extreme stress.
• Story Role: The tragic heroes. Charles has a deep emotional bond with his Eva, but it often fails him at the worst times. Carlos is the pragmatic warrior, keeping them afloat despite Ferrari’s chaotic leadership.
4. EVA-07A “The Immortal” (Aston Martin)
• Design: Dark green with neon yellow accents, heavily armored but still sleek, resembling a fusion of a tank and a hypercar, specializing in high durability and counterattacks.
>Special Features:
• Regenerative Armor: Can withstand heavy damage and self-repair over time, making it incredibly durable.
• Grip Adaptation: The EVA’s feet have adaptive grip controls, allowing it to move effortlessly across different terrains.
• Ancient Core Synchronization: An older unit, yet inexplicably keeps up with the latest models due to the pilot’s (Nando’s) unmatched experience and having seemingly unbounded fortune.
• Story Role: Alonso, the immortal warrior, is an old veteran who’s seen it all and somehow always survives. Lance struggles to prove he belongs (gets told he only got into the Eva program because of his father and that he actually never was one of the chosen children)
5. EVA-05M “The Papaya” (McLaren)
• Design: Bright orange and blue, lightweight and compact. An experimental Eva excelling at ranged combat with a powerful energy rifle.
>Special Features:
• Adaptive Handling AI: The EVA constantly tweaks its movements for optimal combat efficiency, making it unpredictable to enemies.
• Hybrid Power Mode: Uses a combination of traditional energy cores and an advanced turbo boost system for short bursts of hyper-acceleration.
• Precision Over Power: Unlike other EVAs that rely on brute force, this unit specializes in tactical strikes, often falling behind to analyze before charging at the enemy.
• Story Role: The underdog team. Lando is talented but relies too much on the Handling AI, while Oscar adapts quickly to the high-stakes environment. They push each other forward, but McLaren’s leadership often lets them down.
6. EVA-08B “Phantom” (Williams)
• Design: Deep blue and white with sleek, minimalist lines. A lightweight, nimble Eva with enhanced agility, designed to outmaneuver rather than overpower its enemies. Lacks raw firepower but makes up for it with tactical precision and evasion.
>Special Features:
• Lightweight Carbon Fiber Frame: Focused on raw speed but fragile in direct combat.
• Experimental Jet Boosters: Gives it an edge in acceleration but has limited energy reserves.
• Legacy Core: One of the oldest Evangelion models, upgraded over time with modern enhancements.
• Story Role: The ultimate underdog team. Alex is an elite pilot trapped in an outdated machine, constantly pushing it beyond its limits. Logan struggles to prove himself, dealing with self-doubt as he watches others outperform him. Williams’ engineers work tirelessly, but their limited resources keep them on the back foot.
7. EVA-09H “The Beast” (Haas)
• Design: Black and white with red highlights, a brute-force EVA with a reinforced exoskeleton, built for durability and close combat.
>Special Features:
• Heavy Armor Plating: Takes extreme punishment but sacrifices agility.
• Twin Blades System: Uses dual energy weapons for raw offensive power.
• Unrefined Power Core: Prone to overheating and shutdowns in prolonged battles.
• Story Role: Haas functions as the scrappy backup, holding the line when stronger teams falter. Their Eva is not the fastest or most advanced, but it refuses to go down without a fight. Eva-09H is often deployed in desperate last stands, buying time for others to regroup or retreat. Nico is excellent at damage control and making the best of tough situations. Kevin embraces Eva-47’s brute force, his raw instincts make him unpredictable but sometimes reckless in high-stakes engagements.
8. EVA-10A “The Storm” (Alpine)
• Design: Metallic blue and pink, an elegant yet fierce EVA specializing in precision combat. A high-speed, high-maneuverability Eva, designed for close-quarters combat with plasma blades on each arm. However, its systems tend to overheat and malfunction under stress (side eye).
>Special Features:
• Adaptive Power Core: Balances attack and defense based on combat needs.
• Energy Blade Enhancements: Can channel its core energy into plasma-based weapons (blades).
• High-Altitude Maneuvering: Optimized for aerial and vertical combat.
• Story Role: The dysfunctional duo—Ocon and Gasly are constantly at odds, refusing to work together even when survival is at stake. Their inability to synchronize properly leads to repeated failures, yet somehow, they scrape by.
9. EVA-11V “Golden Child” RB’s Experimental „golden Child“ EVA (VCARB)
• Design: Black and gold, a flashy, aggressive EVA designed for showmanship and performance. A hyper-aggressive, speed-focused Eva that sacrifices durability for extreme agility. Think of it as an F1-style ninja, striking fast before dodging away (In theory)
>Special Features:
• Instant Torque Boosters: Allows rapid acceleration but drains power quickly.
• Counter-Attack Mechanism: Absorbs kinetic energy and redirects it into high-powered strikes.
• Unstable Synch Ratio: Potential for extreme power spikes but hard to control.
• Story Role: The EVAs main goal is to search for young, new, drivers whose sync rate exceeds the „normal“ average. Yuki is a hotheaded, instinctive fighter, sometimes reckless but always fearless. Daniel provides experience and charisma, trying to keep things fun even in the face of disaster. Their Eva is prone to system failures due to its lightweight and experimental structure.
10. EVA-12S “Specter” (Stake F1/Sauber)
• Design: Chrome silver with black and green highlights, a futuristic and experimental EVA with advanced cloaking technology which often needs recalibrating which can take up to multiple days or even weeks due to employee shortage.
>Special Features:
• Liquid-Metal Armor: Can shift its form slightly for minor shape adjustments mid-combat.
• Silent Mode: Cloaking technology which works kinda like a chameleon (its always a gamble (ha) if it actually works tho) and Reduces energy signatures to avoid detection.
• Story Role: Eva-79 is designed for hit-and-run tactics, intelligence gathering, and long-range support. Its stealth capabilities make it a valuable asset in ambush operations, striking from the shadows before vanishing into the chaos. Calm, methodical, and precise, Valtteri excels at tactical combat. He leverages Eva-12S’s agility to control engagements, striking from unexpected angles and retreating before enemies can react. Zhou is skilled at reading battlefield conditions and adjusting his approach. His ability to execute last-second dodges and counterattacks makes him a dangerous opponent in duels but in disadvantage against multiple targets.
I did something
In this world, the Formula 1 teams are not just racing squads but organizations tasked with defending humanity against existential threats. Instead of cars, each team developed its own Evangelion Unit, with the drivers chosen as pilots due to their ability to push machines to their limits. The championship is no longer a simple competition—it’s a war for humanity’s survival.
Instead of NERV, the organization overseeing the Evas is FIA (Foundation for Interdimensional Annihilation), a coalition of rival racing teams forced to work together against an unknown enemy: the Seraphs, biomechanical monstrosities threatening Earth.
The battle strategy remains the same: synchronization with the pilot is crucial, teamwork is rare, and catastrophic failures are inevitable.
Basic Plot points:
• The Seraphs start attacking major cities, and only the Evangelions can stop them. The FIA forces the teams to work together, but internal rivalries make unity nearly impossible.
• Max’s Eva goes berserk during a mission, nearly killing his teammates. This sparks fears about the uncontrollable power of the Evas.
• Ocon and Gasly’s rivalry nearly gets them killed, forcing them into an uneasy truce.
• Alonso survives an impossible battle, proving he’s essentially immortal at this point.
• Williams pulls off a miracle victory, with Albon proving why he deserves a better machine. Logan barely survives his first real battle, questioning whether he belongs.
• Yuki & Daniel’s Eva gets destroyed in battle, leaving them stranded. They have to fight off a Seraph using only basic weapons until reinforcements arrive.
• Charles experiences a mind-breaking synchronization event, leading to visions of a hidden truth about the Evas.
• The Final Showdown: The truth about the Seraphs’ origins is revealed—perhaps the Evas themselves are part of the problem. The grid must unite to stop the FIA from making a catastrophic mistake, but tensions run high.
Bonus: Commentary
• “Oh! OH! Verstappen has gone Berserk Mode! Again! That’s not what we wanted to see right now!”
• “Meanwhile, Alonso is STILL ALIVE! We don’t know how, but he’s still here!”
• “And Haas’ Eva is… somehow held together with duct tape?!”
• “Ocon and Gasly are fighting again! No, not the enemy—they’re fighting each other!”
• “Williams’ Eva is still holding together with nothing but sheer willpower at this point!”
• “Yuki is charging in alone! Someone stop him—no, wait, never mind, it actually worked?!”
When on the one hand Max's behavior is called a disgrace and an unprofessional example for the younger ones on the other hand Charles Leclerc responds to all attempts to make him say something bad about Max: “I would have done the same thing”.
What divorce? They've grown up and respect for each other is a huge part of their relationship
nothing better than watching max verstappen turn into charles teammate and do everything he can to help his boyfriend and make lando question what the best teammates really are 😭🙏
Oscar exhaled convulsively. Carlos Pierre and Isack tensed
Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc in front of the Redbull and Ferrari offices
While Max is calmly musing with a smile on his face about not having the best pace, Charles at Ferrari is fighting for his life.

Max: Charles... I have something to tell you-
Charles: Are you finally gonna propose to me?
Max: H-how did you know?..
Charles: Some days ago, I just saw you trying to find the best ways to propose me to a dummy, and one day you dropped the ring and i literally have it...
Bad Grammar? Not my problem, english is not my first language so no judge lol-
