considering we’re talking about a professional athlete who moved continents at seventeen/didn’t see his family for nearly two year stints at times/built his entire life around the sport and all for the sole purpose of fulfilling this one singular goal, saying, “if it can’t be me then i’m glad it’s him,” is the most deeply, deeply romantic thing he could have said. in this essay i will—

Made a compilation of Daniel's battles in the Sprint since the broadcast didn't bother to show any of it.

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

Thinking about the way Max cares for Daniel in relation to how much Daniel loves his roots and Australia (trying so hard to keep his accent when he was younger and left home to pursue racing, etc). Max pointing out how hard it must be for Daniel to be so far away from home for such a long time in one of the on the sofa eps (like Max himself was so young then and yet cared enough to empathize with Daniel), Max saying he always felt sorry that Daniel couldn't properly enjoy his home race because he was always so busy. Also Max saying he could see himself living in Australia despite not being there much aside from racing and having no proper connection to it counts too (Daniel loves it so much so it must be great bc Daniel is ofc).
#nah the thing about that on the sofa right#is that you can see daniel get blindsided because Max nails it#and like end of a long season? A few more commitments before you finally get to go back to your place with your people and recharge?#it's like pressing on a bruise#maxiel#dr3#mv33

What do you think is actually behind the Danny bashing on social media and Reddit lately?
I find it really puzzling, to put it mildly. As if the decision over an RBR or VCARB seat is simple enough to decide 4 races into a 24-race season, which it certainly isn’t.
Some of the Yuki and Liam fans seem to be really young, and for some of them, there seems to be some sort of weird ageism involved in their anti-Ricciardo ranting.
But some of it seems to be an enjoyment of tearing someone down who’s always been popular, despite him not misusing or abusing that popularity
IDK - what are your thoughts, please?
Hey anon! This is actually a really interesting question, and I’d be really interested to hear other people’s thoughts and opinions on too. I think probably how much time you spend online and on which online platforms does probably affect your viewpoint, and obviously this is just my take on the growing anti-DR sentiment based on what I’ve seen/ experienced.
I think it’s definitely multi-faceted, which is partly why there’s so much of it at the moment, because multiple situations/things have fed into the Daniel hatred.
I think a very large percentage of it is simply the influx of new fans into the sport that have only seen Daniel drive from the McL era onwards.
I think a lot of people are consuming more and more F1 content from non-trustworthy sources (e.g. instagram and twitter update accounts, non-reputable websites) that use clickbait and unsubstantiated rumours to create maximum drama. I think this has been particularly tricky for Daniel, because his popularity has made him a super target since 2021 for this.
I think there's a growing sentiment of annoyance at the limited number of seats available to enter F1, particularly for fans of younger drivers who have watched them go through the feeder series and feel it is unfair that they aren’t being given a chance in F1. I think this has become even louder since F1 rejected Andretti’s bid, and I think struggling or older drivers become a much easier target for expressing that frustration than an entire sport/regulatory body.
I think the more recent wave of fans being more critical of driver’s public opinions and thoughts on social/political/moral issues has probably increased scrutiny on Daniel, too. And while I completely agree with fans expecting more and better from drivers, I think there’s a huge amount of hypocrisy and recency bias when it comes to some very vocal online fans and fanbases, which I think also underscores how many of them are part of the new wave of F1 fans. (E.g. I see ample criticism of Daniel from fans of driver’s who refused to kneel during 2020 that are clearly totally unaware that Daniel was one of the loudest supporters of Lewis during 2020 and BLM protests)
I think it’s also just part and parcel of the growing extreme polarisation of the internet. It seems people are becoming far more used to extreme polarisation in general, and the echo chambers of social media and the wider internet algorithms are only continuing to exaggerate that. People also seem to be less and less civil online, and while places like twitter have been a toxic wasteland for a long time, that toxicity and complete lack of normal human interaction has started to affect other online spaces too.
And yeah I do agree that there seems to be a certain percentage of fans that just seem to enjoy revelling in a driver’s struggles, and love to tear down someone who seems to be a happy bubbly person. And while some of that is maybe inherent sports tribalism (which I’m not really on board with tbh), I really think it’s reached a whole new low.
OK sorry I didn't mean for this to be such a long response! Hope that answers your question and I’d love to hear if anyone else has other thoughts/opinions too!! 🙂

pinfall
Max/Daniel | wrestling au | 8.2k | mature
Max's body underneath his feels like it belongs; like a missing piece finally found and fitted. It hits Daniel like a freight train, the all-encompassing normalcy in the midst of controlled chaos.
hi! here's a drastically reworked version of a ficlet I posted here couple of months ago. includes pro wrestling action, dirtbag (wrestling champion!) Daniel, rookie Max with his untamed, raw talent and the sexual tension that ensues with being sweaty in the ring together. and maybe something to do with knowing this one rookie might replace you one day but you kinda wanna... ya know. do some wrestling outside the ring. feel like the experiment in the dynamic here was very successful :)
hope you enjoy!

Anybody that's feeling worried about Daniel's current quali performance and in particular his gap to Yuki (especially after having to listen to Will Buxton repeat every ten minutes on last weekend's broadcast that "Daniel's average quali gap to Yuki is the exact same as NDV's") needs to have a look at this brilliant data analysis by u/tomedunn on reddit.
Obviously Daniel ideally still needs to find a decent chunk of time vs Yuki in quali, but it's nowhere near as dire as Buxton (and many others) are making it out to be, and I think it does also corroborate Daniel's claim that this is not in any way a McL situation.
