I still can’t believe I’m going to a race weekend like I literally liked a Charles leclerc edit last July and now I’m going to a Sprint Race and Qualifying Session like what is my life. Anyways, I don’t feel comfortable showing my face or anything but this is the shirt I got.

most of the drivers' reactions to the whole Horner situation is so disappointing tbh. what do you mean someone in the paddock, an employee gets harassed by one of the top figures in the sport and your reaction is either "it has nothing to do with me", or "no comment", "i just like cars and i want to drive", "it's noise and distraction", "i'm here to race", and "it's a good thing for the media", "it doesn't affect me", "i don't really have an interest".
why is it so hard to care about something other than your racing career? you gotta have some morals, dude. not caring about women's safety in your oh so beloved sport is some fucked up behaviour. in situations like this it really shows how fucking privileged they are and it's honestly repulsive.
this is precisely why Lewis is always the one being asked about any non-sport related topic. because he's the only one who cares and gives honest and nuanced answers. genuinely terrified of what this sport will become when he retires, cause no one will speak out on anything.
and then people wonder why we say that f1 is not a safe place for women and that misogyny is still very much a thing in the sport? men don't care, including the president of the fia and f1, the other team principals and most of the drivers as well. when the faces of the sport clearly don't give a shit about women, what kind of hope is there?
they can talk about equality and progressive values and promoting women in motorsports, when this is the reality of how they actually treat the women working in the sport. imagine how that poor woman is feeling, seeing how much the drivers care about what she's going through. utterly disrespectful, with no compassion or empathy.
red bull: we built the best fucking car, max freaking adores that car, next year we're going to space (if you saw checo's car on fire for a hot sec, no you didn't)
ferrari: the car seems better but idk man dont want to jinx it bc we have the luck of a potato but charles doesnt want to k word himself like last year
mercedes: no comment:) we may have an illegal part of a car tho so please don't ask us about that
mclaren: we gotta fix a random issue with our car every 10 minutes and our company accounts move like stan twitter but red bull is SWEATING just wait
aston martin: did we build a good car? who knows-- at least both of our drivers could do the testing this time!
alpine: so our car may not be the best and i would not expect anything from the first half of the year. also if you see our drivers fighting behind the track, ignore it and do not report it to the hr. we know.
vcarb: we're a midfield team but we have daniel ricciardo so we're aiming for the stars. yuki is also here.
sauber: we're green now. please don't ask about the illegal name of our team, it's getting fixed TRUST
williams: logan was p1 for a hot sec HAVE YOU SEEN IT
haas: were the slowest and anyone that expects better should get a reality check. thoughts & prayers
not nico rosberg comparing carlos sainz and charles leclerc's on track moves with his and lewis' moves back in the day - is he aware the ferrari girls are in shambles and disarray right now ? does he know we don't want charles and carlos to end up like them ???
Charles desperately trying to get Max’s attention by any means possible, Pierre hitting his limit with Charles’s antics, Yuki fighting off the allegations trying to explain away how Pierre knows he’s gotten broader and doesn’t fit into shirts anymore, Max being all sad and morose due to forced separation from his favourite yapping partner (Charles). THIS is true Formula 1, we are so back people.
nothing just talking about loving things while looking at my teammate up and down with sad nostalgic eyes for our last ferrari presentation together ✍️
