“A 15 year old (she told us) Spanish girl came up and got Mark Webber’s autograph, and asked if he knew where Vettel was. Webber said ‘He’s the same age as you, he’s playing in a sand pit over there.’”
Yall call Nando a war criminal, but have you seen the way Mark used to annoy him on the podium. Be it, poking him, touching him, hugging him. Like Mark bro, he gets it. Calm down 😭
F1 2000-2013 friendships: Mark and Alonso, Seb and Kimi.
I should make this a mini series with the way I ramble.
There’s something about the way F1 drivers hug each other sometimes. Like Nando and Mark. Anytime Fernando hugged Mark, he actually hugged him. Held his racing suit tightly, or wrapped his arms around his neck. But it’s like, I dunno, I feel like when friends hug and it looks as securing as it did for them. It does show how safe that friendship was in the end.
Which at the time, a lot of the drivers were, in their respects, close but also extremely competitive. Possibly even more than now. So getting those moments where Redbull drivers like Mark and Sebastian, would find a friendship within a Ferrari driver like Fernando or Kimi. Just highlights how tight knit the grid was.
Same can be said now, truly, but back then it was entirely different. Or just felt different. I dunno, maybe I’m tired or some shit. But I live for those friendships where they can hug within their respects and really show that they’re friends.
Unlike now where Fans jump at the chance to call it “PR” just cause it isn’t their favourite duo.
Not to say Seb and Mark didn’t get on with the rest of the grid. Of course they did. But there’s always that one particular duo that just stands out along the crowd. I myself witnessed nearly the tail end of majority of this. I was also fairly young, practically a child, however growing up and rewatching the races I always spotted how close some driver pairs or trios were. In a very modest and respectful way.
Not to mention the clear and genuine fun a lot of drivers had on the podiums back then. While there was some awkward moments like Lewis and Nico, for brief moments. There was never a shy away moments between Mark, Seb, and Alonso. (And Kimi).
Unless you count the podium where Mark told Alonso he wasn’t going to Ferrari. (I mean what-)
But anyways. Late night thoughts. Late night thoughts. Maybe next one I’ll go into depth on a certain f1 season I enjoyed. Possibly 2023 and possibly 2022. Maybe even a in-depth thought at the 2006 (my birth year) season. Who knows.
If Lance Stroll has 5 million fans, I'm one of them. If Lance Stroll has 5 hundred fans, I'm one of them. If Lance Stroll has 5 fans, I'm one of them. If Lance Stroll has 2 fan, I'm one of them. If Lance Stroll has 0 fans, I have died, and so has Fernando Alonso.
Stake is like where everyone goes to relax away from the drama. The Zhou and Bottas love is unmatched. Especially, as you said, the way everyone treats them. So amazing! Sauber really brings on the best drivers and creates such a wholesome atmosphere for fans.
One thing i do love about the F1 community is how they treat the Stake drivers. Yes, some people hate them, but they have way more supporters than haters. Their comment section is always super wholesome when it comes to the drivers and they don’t blame anything on the drivers because they know how bad the team is with those pitstops.
I love all of them get together to give Zhou love each and every post that included him. Zhou and Valtteri just need a car that’s competitive and a better pitstop and I feel like they wouldn’t be making points on points
I personally think Zhou deserve to driver of the day, but I’m happy for Lando as well.
The reason I haven’t done the “how close I stand to the camera, determines how much I like the driver,” Challenge, is because I know my answers will piss so many people off.
May I introduce you to, once again, the people who work(ed) in F1 and it's feeder series?
Weird camera angles, genuinely almost kissing, pictures with little to no context, Kimi's Lego car with oranges as wheels, questions all around, it all checks out.
The most amazing thing till this day is that Max’s mum follows Charles on Instagram. That’s why she liked the post with Leo. It’s honestly so adorable when family members of other drivers keep up with their kids’ rivals//friends. Really shows how close knit the grid truly is.
