"That was a 24 hour race and I was in the team with Jules, my brother and Norman Nato-- I don't know if, you know, also-- and it was around three in the morning or something like that, and they say 'Charles, take the karts and you do this session of one hour. You know, we, we will go and, and have a party and then we'll come back in one hour.' And I remember I took the, I started driving at three and at eight in the morning, they were still not coming by because they were just passing somewhere here and I didn't want to stop because I didn't want to lose the first position. So I have been driving for five straight hours and I was completely dead, but they eventually came back after five hours to save me from dying inside the car, which was nice."
(And compare with Lorenzo's version:
"There is an anecdote which sums up Charles well and his winning state of mind," smiles Lorenzo. When we were teenagers, we often did 24-hour relay endurance races with Jules Bianchi and Norman Nato (Editor's note: driver in the World Endurance Championship). Sometimes we took Charles, who was 7 or 8 years old, to do hour-long stints with us. One day, we leave him the kart around 1:30 am, and we go have fun in a nightclub. We come back around 4 a.m. We thought he would have left the kart or given someone over when we returned. But he was still on the track, he had been driving non-stop for three and a half hours. He took out the blisters on his hands and his arms in a compote. It shows how far he can go …")
got a message out of the blue about that 'why Batman doesn't kill' explanation I left on someone else's post like two years ago but it was just "wait is Alfred dead????" and I sort of forgot that most of tumblr Batfam fandom doesn't actually read comics and so largely has no idea that Bane killed Alfred back in 2019 and he's stayed dead since
YAYY IT'S OFFICIALLY 2024!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I hope everyone's year will be filled with joy and good things!
I'm bringing back my tradition of drawing a New Year's drawing with the Dreemurr kids (almost) every year. I'm not super proud of the drawings from previous years, but I wanted to add them in under the Read More anyway.
“There's always one, isn't there? Just after you've comfortably settled into your seat, clicked the seatbelt across your lap, and are scanning for a decent film on the seat's screen in front of you - someone asks you to move.
It was on the late-night flight out of Bahrain after this year's race that F1 Racing became aware of such a scenario unfolding: passengers being politely asked if they wouldn't mind moving seats so two chums could take up seats together. The architects of this kerfuffle, the two friends who became reunited at 30,000 feet, were none other than Pierre Gasly and Charles Leclerc.”
