Daniels whole demeanour and confidence at the gp though. He was absolutely walking and was feeling himself which makes me soso hopeful esp from his comments about next year and the stuff about the sim too. And him wanting himself to race, the belief in himself to go out and do what he loves!! I think the whole things with the fans and support is just a bonus tbh, like I do believe he would’ve decided he wants to come back either way with or without the huge reaction he was getting at the weekend but I like to think it shows him how supported and loved he is.

right and it was also such a nice (and interesting) progression from the launch as well, where even then he was SO excited and it felt like he probably kinda already knew that he wanted to get back on the grid, even if he wasn't quite ready to say it yet 🤧

#it DOES make me wonder if the initial poor outing in the sim was pre winter break tho #like right off the back of abu dhabi still in that kinda fucked headspace #going into winter break wondering if this is the end of the road if the mclaren fucked him up so bad that he can't come back from it #and because of that throwing himself so completely into to the break and not thinking about racing at all just because he Can #(and because maybe this is just How It Is now and he because he better get used to it)#only to come back from the break and jump in the sim; kinda dreading it cause what if it's still just as bad and fucked #but then it's???? not???? maybe only marginally better but there are flashes of what he used to be buried in there #and as time goes on more and more of that old daniel keeps getting uncovered and it feels GOOD #so by the time he's at the launch he's like pretty sure that if things continue like this he's gonna be back #but it's too early to say it just yet so he just holds it in. plays coy.#spends a bit more time in the sim and it's only getting better and better #to the point where he KNOWS he'll be back on the grid (and back in the red bull) it's just a matter of time #and showing up to melbourne with the glow of it all compounded by the leagues and leagues of fans still there supporting him #and telling him they hope to see him back soon :(#dan #red bull redux #answered #anonymous #insane about it actually #and if this is what he's done in just 2-3 months.....and there's three more months before he even gets in an irl car.....😵‍💫
