three minutes of my fave parts from nico's latest podcast appearance. highlights include:
- 'were you more jealous of your wife looking at another man or lewis hamilton winning a race?'
- editors giving nico a pink wheel when he asks to edit in an f1 wheel. can never escape britneyfication 🥹
- nico finding out the host can't drive and immediately betting him to go karting where nico drives in reverse and he drives forwards to see whose faster
- 'believe in yourself' 🙄 I tried for 10 years and even then in the last race I didn't really believe. But the reassuring thing you can have great success even if you don't believe in yourself 😃 as long as you are so damn committed."

It was really fun to see what everyone said and thought. I always love doing these and finding out what everyone thought. This is obviously biased because F1blr is obviously bigger then 243 people but it's a small part of the community!

Forget the sticker war between Ferrari and Red Bull, the real battle is which team can show the most love for Charles on social media.
You would think Red Bull would be at a disadvantage given Charles isn't their driver but it hasn't really held them back. We've got them posting pics of him and even putting one on their Christmas tree. Plus they have been encouraging Max (not that he needs encouragement) to admit over and over how much he knows about Charles through a range of social media games.
Can Red Bull really win Charles' affection when they are against Ferrari, the team he has loved for so long?
I think to decide the winner we need a joint live stream from Ferrari and Red Bull where they get Charles in a room and have Carlos in one corner and Max in the other. Get them both to call Charles over and whoever he goes to their team wins.
This one was frustrating at some points but mostly it was just a good time. If you'd like to try it out, I've posted the code (and instructions for how to implement a skin on your AO3 account) here.
not christian horner putting a pic of his fave son (max) and his son in law/driver-to-be on his christmas tree. terribly humbling to know that i'm not even in the top 5 of people who want lestappen together no matter how badly i want it.
Not to bring Lestappen Gate 2023 back for one final time this year but they literally put Charles WITH A RED BULL STICKER ON HIS BACK on the Red Bull Family Christmas tree….a Christmas tree that not even all the Red Bull drivers made it on to (#Justice for Yuki).
Are they trying to insinuate….that they’ve successfully claimed Charles as part of the family at Red Bull Racing? Hm. Food for thought indeed because yes, it’s from the sticker war—but neither Lando nor George nor Carlos (who also got Red Bull stickered) made it onto the tree. Only Charles. Red Bull is making it clear that Charles deserves to be a driver on THEIR tree.
