Songs I feel represent me:

Well… this got depressing fast lol… maybe I’ll make a happy one next! 😂

Alfa Romeo Alfasud Sprint, 1976. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro using the front wheel drive platform and flat-4 engine from the Alfasud. The Sprint remained in production through various updates until 1989 but was discontinued and not replaced when Fiat took over Alfa Romeo

These two have so much in common I couldn't stop thinking about it

the money I would pay to see these two versions of them interact

Now that the season is over, here are my predictions as to what will make it into Drive to Survive.

!Disclaimer! DTS was my entry into this sport. I think the show is great in its own way and an excellent way to reach new fans, this is mostly just for fun. (If you can't make fun of the things you love I'm the wrong person to have on your dash)

Here is my list in no particular order

HAAS: They love a HAAS focused episode, partly because it brings Steiner into the picture. I personally never got why people like him but if it works it works I guess. Expect many "Suck my balls" jokes. Otherwise we are scheduled for our regular viewing of HAAS being absolutely washed on track with Guenther calling Gene every five minutes.

Qatar: Things they WONT cover about Qatar; the drivers collapsing and passing out from heat exhaustion, the tracklimits and tyre fiasco. Things they WILL cover about Qatar; the mercs crashing into eachother on lap 1 (with THAT clip of Lewis playing like 50 times), Oscar winning the sprint. I imagine them spinning it in a way that makes the sprint a huge deal (cue clip of Will Buxton talking about how essential the sprint is for F1 as a sport and almost more important than the grand prix itself). This brings me to my next point

Civil wars: We have the real civil wars and the fake ones. I imagine them using the Qatar gp to make up a war between Oscar and Lando, framing it as Oscar as a rookie getting a win before Lando. Not sure who they are gonna make the villain here, probably Lando. They could also fabricate one at Ferrari given how this car suits Carlos more than Charles, will probably blow Monza out of proportion. Merc civil war might get a whole episode(be honest, we all know that one is a competitive car away from blowing up). The french civil war is the one I'm looking forward to the most because BOY do those two like to play it dirty. I'm frothing at the mouth already to see the backhanded compliments, the jabs, the shady comments they have probably been giving in the dts interviews. Speaking of Alpine

Alpine vs Mclaren(Oscar): This is a must because they made that whole thing last season. Episode will start out with a really smug Alpine team but we will get to witness the horrible car crash of a season they are having with the amazing dts editing. Can't wait to see the Silverstone part where they show the double DNF side by side with the Mclarens celebrating a p2 p4.

Singapore: The only non Redbull winner so I will be surprised if they don't feature it. They also love a dramatic crash and Lance's one in Singapore qualy is probably the most intense one we had this season. Will probably also use the onboard footage from Lando to show the tyre skirting by him to really amp it up.

Red bull: Will it be about their amazing achievements as a team this year? No. Will it be about Max and his fantastic race craft and the way he hasn't put a single foot wrong? No. It will be about Checo and his struggles. Will also have interviews of Christian defending him that become fewer and fewer the longer into the season we go. The win streak and the domination will be mentioned only in contrast to Checo. I also have a theory that red bull might drop checo and if they do I promise you the reveal in the show will go exactly like this:

Christian: We have given him time and patience, but at some point we need to start looking elsewhere, Mclaren have an amazing pairing, Mercedes have an amazing pairing even Ferrari have really started to get into their groove. He really left us no choice.

*Dramatic music, cut to black*

"Hi I'm Daniel Ricciardo and I'm a driver for Red Bull racing. Fuck, that felt so good to say *big Daniel smile.*"

Las Vegas: Will be shown as the most epic race this season with all drivers hyping it up (Might be able to include Max in that one with enough editing). What they WONT cover: all of the thursday/free practice shenanigans. What they WILL cover: The fact that the race was a banger.

Alpha Tauri: They have the perfect angle for this set up already. Nyck was talking himself up big time last season so they are just gonna overlay that with Nyck having a mare on track. They're gonna make whole "I'm back bitches" thing with Daniel. Then they're gonna make his accident real tragic (they could also make it into a Thing that it was Oscar that Daniel tried to avoid when putting it in the wall). Not really sure what they're gonna make out of Liams short stint.

Ferrari vs Mercedes fight for p2 is gonna be HELLA dramatic. They are going to drag out that race and insert radio messages where they don't belong. I also think they are gonna make it look like Carlos was closer to Lewis in the race than what he actually was.

As I said, these are just my speculations. based on the way the show has been and are mostly just for fun.

rosaline (2022) using paper rings as a credits song instead of the taylor swift song that actually mentions romeo is so funny to me

Dauphine Alfa Romeo (1961)

Alfa Romeo 33 1.5 4X4, 1984. Alfa used their historic 33 model name for their mid-range hatchback in the 1980s. It replaced the Alfasud and continued to use that car's flat-4 engine and front wheel drive platform. The longitudinal placement of the powertrain meant that, just as Subaru did in the 1970s, it was relatively straightforward to create a 4x4 version. The 33 4x4 was built for Alfa by Pininfarina thought it had been designed in-house by Ermanno Cressoni at Centro Stile Alfa Romeo. After Fiat took over Alfa Romeo they continued to use the boxer engine in the 33's replacement, the 145/147, but they no longer offered an all wheel drive version.

Sunfall AU | [ for flavor ]

Cool breeze and the heady scent of exhaust. Something curls the air, copper and inhumane. A muscle car pulled to a stop on the side of a desert highway. Dreary motel lights offer the only glimpse of civilization. Under them stand a man with a lit cigarette and dark stains upon his collar. Where he came from and where he will go is unknown but pray he doesn’t see your name on a shining metal tag.

Saw someone saying Lewis and Guanyu are just gonna park it at turn 12 😭😭😭

Of course we could fix plays by swapping leads but then what’s the point. We could swap Romeo and Hamlet to save everyone, but then we wouldn’t have R&J and Hamlet. They’re tragedies, they cannot be fixed without be stripped of their point. Even the comedies, like the proper comedy comedies, they need a conflict. That’s how stories work. You can’t make a play when everything is fixed. It’s not fixing, it’s breaking, because it makes the plays nothing. Gertrude has to die, Ophelia has to die, Polonius has to die, Hamlet has to die. They cannot live, it cannot be fixed. Mercutio has to die, Tybalt has to die, Paris has to die, Romeo and Juliet have to die. Othello has to die, Desdemona has to die, Emilia has to die. Portia has to die, Cassius has to die, Brutus has to die. Banquo, Lavinia, Lear, Cordelia, Coriolanus, Patroclus, Gloucester, they all have to die, I’m sorry. To “fix” a story is to break it.

Hiiii I wanted to show you car I just saw:

HATSUNE MIKU CAR lol
