HAHAHAHAHA suddenly I found lestappen 游龙戏凤 is all over f1twt 😭 So please allow me adding a bit of background of this metaphor comparing them with the Dragon and the Phoenix.
In the Las Vegas GP 2023, it was lap 6, and Max was shuffling down the straight at the end of the safety car session in front of Charles, so he complained on the team radio that Max’s move was dangerous. Then one of Chinese commentators said this made him think about the phrase “游龙戏凤 (the dragon teasing the phoenix)” which implicated Max was teasing Charles on track by moving and slowing down suddenly. And the other commentator immediately realized that there could be another implication of love between the duo, because the origin of this phrase is literally associated with a love story in ancient China, in which an emperor (the dragon) flirted and fell in love with a folk girl (the phoenix).😭
So basically this phrase can be interpreted as “lestappen fight on track with love” and believe me sometimes these 2 Chinese commentators have insane lestappen agenda idk why😭
