Big Lads Are: Pretty Great
Text
Well, I knew that this day would have come. Yet I'm not ready to say goodbye. I'm a Ferrari fan since the very first moment. I'm Italian and I discovered F1 only thanks to the Ferrari team.
But I really started to love and appreciate the drivers behind the helmets. Sebastian Vettel was my first 'love', and he will always be no matter what.
I was so happy to know that Sebastian was a Ferrari driver. Because he loves/ed Ferrari as much as I do. His love, passion and dedication to the cause always fascinated me.
He has never had a bad word until recently, he always supported the team, and admitted his mistakes.
I'm so sorry, I really don't have words to express what I feel right now. I'm sad, not only because this relationship with Ferrari ended, but for the way it has come to an end.
Sebastian deserved so much more. He did so much for the team. If we have had some chances in the past years, it was thanks to his great motivation and contribution, it's not all about the driving, Sebastian was never just a driver in the team. He had to do always more than the drivers need to do. People asked him the impossible and he fought until the very end. He tried, he risked, he fought, sometimes he won and that was the best part, but other times he lost. Sometimes it was his fault, but most of the times it wasn't and people tend to forget that.
His help was fundamental for the team. He never got the credits he deserved.
I'm sorry it had to end in this way.
Do you know what are the worst break ups?
The ones that come when the relationships you most believed in, you most invested in, you most care about end.
The relationship between Vettel and his Ferrari was one of that kind.
He gave everything he had. Now the bitterness is terrible for everyone one who believed in this partnership as much as he did, like us.
No matter what they say, I will always be thankful to him, for the emotions, for the kindness, for the positivity he brought during the first years in the team. I'm thankful for the hope he gave us.
I love you Sebastian, I hope you find the peace and the happiness you really deserve.
I hope you're future will bright.
Let's make this final round with the Ferrari the best one. Let's create other incredible memories as long as we are still together.
Good luck đ

ăI take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alrightă
Guys I think this is another amazing line made by miss Taylor.
"home" may be more general than 'my house, the place where I live', it's more a state of mind, where I feel myself, I can be me without fear, natural and pure 100Ă·
If I am "home", I'm okay with who I am and I have no fear in making decisions.
If I'm not, if "there is a long way home" I don't feel comfortable in choosing whatever, I'm in doubt, I'm not sure and I'm searching for reassurance. I search signs everywhere.
I ask the traffic lights đŠ
†RED-> STOP, don't do it. I know you would love to do that but NO, it's a NO, big NO . STOP STOP STOP (I know you want to answer to his phone calls but NOOO.)
đ GREEN-> GO, you can, do it. No fear. You rock.
𧥠ORANGE-> I don't know (Your choice, my dear, don't ask me look deep down in your heart).

Am I the only one who feel disappointed with the new Stance collection inspired by Daniel?
I mean I would expected a pair of socks with the 'stop being them' theme, with the colours and the font of his helmet.
But it's just a pair of socks with a 3 and the other one is plain with an invisible 'honey badger'.
#sorry not sorry#i love his helmet#i want an inspired pair of socks#am i asking for too much#16+⏠for these#daniel ricciardo#ricciardo3#f1#stance

Daniel Ricciardo on Anthoine Hubert's death: 'It's an anger it's happened again
Last Saturday, Daniel Ricciardo went through what might best be described as a long, dark night of the soul.
Following the death of Formula 2 driver Anthoine Hubert at the Belgian Grand Prix, the Renault driver went back to his hotel and questioned whether it was all worth it. The answer did not come easily, but in the end the Australian raced at Spa on Sunday.
Four days on, he sits down with BBC Sport at the start of the Italian Grand Prix weekend, and delves deep into what it takes for a racing driver to confront his fears and race on in such difficult circumstances.
âI certainly questioned it,â the 30-year-old Australian says. âThe reality is, weirdly, I do love it too much. Racing did feel right in the end. Even though I didnât really want to, once I did it, it was like, OK, this actually feels right and normal.â
For a long time over last weekend, though, it felt anything but normal.
âWhen youâre a kid and you see it on TV, and youâre not present or not part of it,â Ricciardo says, âit still seems like there is some form of distance, or a disconnection to whatâs happened.
âBut when youâre there and it happens to one of your colleagues, or itâs in the same race, it seems more real, and itâs like: âOK, this actually can happen to anyone, and itâs here, itâs present right now.â
âThe realisation of us not being invincible does set in. I know my parents stress enough for me already - you know, watching me race and travel the world and being on a plane every few days. You just question it: is it really worth putting not only myself but family under the same amount of stress?â
The aftermath of the accident
The night of the accident, Ricciardo says, he âdidnât get much sleep, and for sure youâre asking yourself questions, probably just fighting a little bit with some anger and some frustration of âwhy,â you know?
"And then also fighting with a few of the emotions of should I actually get up and race tomorrow? Is it the right thing to do morally? Is it the right thing to do for me?
"And I kind of did also think: âLetâs see how I feel by lunchtime, and if Iâm still having some doubts then maybe the safest thing for me is not to race.â
"I kind of wanted to play it by ear. Just running through all these scenarios: 'What if I feel like this? What if that?â
"By Sunday morning, I had a bit more clarity. I did manage to sleep a little bit and wake up preparing myself for race day. But it still felt cold and weird. It didnât feel right to be excited to race, just to be happy to be there. It felt like, tick off the minutes and get the job done.
"The lead-up to the race, Iâd probably just describe it as not very fun in terms of just it was tough to try and go through the motions and go through a routine when that has happened less than 24 hours ago. And, you know, driversâ parade and all that, youâre waving to fans, but you donât feel right smiling or being happy, I guess.
"It was difficult, just trying to get into the zone, just trying to find any form of rhythm.
"Getting in the car on Sunday was not easy, but it was more of a sadness than a fear and I think it was important I established that. If I had been getting in the car with a pure level of fear, then it wouldnât have been smart for me to race. I did understand that it was just a sadness.â
'Just go as fast as possibleâ
âOnce we kind of got going, it actually felt like pretty good release. It felt like a de-stress, just racing and competing. Just going at those speeds, it was like flushing out the system and that felt good.
"After the race, for sure I was still glad it was done but I did feel better than I did two hours before that.
"Iâll be honest, the race was fun. It was good to be out there. And as much as I was looking forward to seeing the chequered flag, I did enjoy a pure race on Sunday.â
The race, he says, acted as a form of catharsis.
âWhen something happens, youâve just go to dive back into it, and thatâs the best way of overcoming it. And I think thatâs what the race was for us. I told myself little things as well: 'Just go fast as soon as possible. Leave the pits and just go, and try to get into that mode already. Donât tip-toe around. Donât over-think certain places on the track.â
"I remember I got out of the pits, drifted out, and forced myself to get into that mindset straight away.â
This is a reference to his thoughts about going through Raidillon, where Hubert had his crash. It is part of the infamous Eau Rouge swerves, a left-hander over the brow of a hill taken flat out at more than 180mph.
âI told myself: 'Go full throttle, and just donât over-think this corner, donât over-think any of it.â Out of the pits⊠held it full. That was a relief but it felt good to get out there and do that. And that also told me that I was ready to go.
"I think if I was, big lift and scared, then that would be a sign that maybe I shouldnât be on the track right now. I guess I wanted to do that to test myself and then it all felt right.â
Did he talk to the other drivers about it?
âI got to speak to a few. I only met Anthoine this year. The Renault Academy boys obviously spent a lot of time with him and I saw them Sunday morning. I spoke to a couple of them Saturday night as well, just over text.
"They had done training camps together. Theyâre a little family. Theyâre younger as well. Thatâs where I felt I could try and be a little bit of, in some ways, a father figure to them and comfort them. I was feeling it, but they were more so. We basically gave each other all a hug on Sunday morning. We tried to chat over it a little bit.
"And then with the other drivers, I spoke to a few of them, but before the race you could see everyone kind of wanted to be on their own.
"Waiting for the driver parade, we were all just standing there. There were a few handshakes or hugs but you could kind of tell everyone was just trying to prepare for the race and it was a tough one. After the race, I spoke to mainly the French drivers, who I knew were closest to Anthoine.â
The Bianchi factor
Hubert is not the first driver Ricciardo has known who has been killed. The last F1 driver to lose his life was the Frenchman Jules Bianchi, who suffered fatal head injuries in a crash at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix. Ricciardo had come up through the ranks with Bianchi and they were close friends.
âJulesâ [death] hit me very hard,â Ricciardo says. âIn a way, not disrespecting it, I was quite surprised how hard it hit me. I didnât expect it to hit me so hard and for it to last so long - the sadness and the hurt from that extended over some period.
"With last weekend, you think time kind of cures everything, and it was like, OK, nothingâs happened for a while and with good reason. The sportâs got safer and weâre in a good place. And then it happens. And itâs a shock.
"Itâs an anger that it has happened again. We thought weâd moved on from all this. Itâs when itâs refreshed in your mind again and itâs there in front of you, itâs hard not to take it with difficulty.â
Has it changed his perspective on racing?
âInitially, it did change. Time does cure it. Those intense initial emotions did slowly fizzle out.
"With the Jules one, I felt like my purpose and intent after that was, 'OK, if we are going to strap ourselves into these cars, and if weâre all aware of the risk, it doesnât make sense to go in half-heartedly. If weâre going to do it, go all in, and make it worthwhile.â
"I felt like Julesâ passing kind of made me embrace the racer even more so. And to be honest this will probably end up having the same effect.
"I didnât have that kind of fear in the race. And until that fear steps in, Iâll just use it as a form of motivation. However many years I do it, at least I can say I did it right.â
'I surprised myselfâ or how do drivers do it?
It can be hard to comprehend how a racing driver can compartmentalise their fears in this way, or the uniqueness of the sort of character required to do a job that they know can kill them, but to go ahead and do it anyway because they love it so much that they canât stop.
Can Ricciardo explain what makes F1 drivers able to live with that contradiction?
He pauses for a few seconds.
âActually I get goosebumps,â he says, âbecause I donât actually know why or how.
"On Saturday night, I felt in no place to drive a race car on the same track the next day. But then even getting out of the pits and going through Raidillon and all that, it was weird how normal and natural it felt. And I canât explain that.
"Itâs probably just when you have a deep passion and love for something, thatâs the result. To be honest, I surprised myself. And we probably all did on Sunday.
"I didnât expect to enjoy any part of the race, no matter where I finished. But I did enjoy being back out there, and that rush of racing. Yes, it was still in your mind, of course. But how weâre able to put it to one side for a moment, I canât explain why or how. It does surprise me.â
The approach to mortality
Ricciardo is known for his gung-ho style, and his attacking victories, often made possible by on-the-edge overtaking moves in which he throws the car down the inside of an opponent from an impossible distance back. How does he rationalise the risks, carry on knowing that an injury is always a possibility?
âYouâve got to always control the controllables,â he says. âIn my case, I guess never get reckless.
"After the race or at times you may see me give a driver the finger or show my kind of anger. But Iâve always tried to teach myself to not let the emotion take over the driver in the race and get reckless, basically.
"Yes, Iâve tried some late overtakes in my time and Iâve done some moves that might seem risky, but thereâs always a level of control and calculation in that and itâs never done purely on emotion.
"So Iâll not let myself get reckless or put myself in a position I donât need to be in. Yes, I want to take risks and be on that fine line. But be sensible enough not to over-step it and I think I am able to do that.
"From that point of view, I am comfortable hopping in the car. Thereâs obviously the thing of failures and technical stuff that can go wrong. Thatâs an uncontrollable from my side. Canât really think about those actually. And even if you know theyâre there and present at times, once you put the helmet on and get going, you donât think about it.
"Itâs one of those things that if it happens in the wrong place or the wrong corner, then what do you do? Youâve got to put that rationale in your head that it could have happened on the way to the circuit, it could have happened on the road.â
Itâs rare for racing drivers to discuss danger and the risk of death so openly.
Safety is discussed every weekend in F1, but itâs normally on an abstract level - what can we do about this gravel trap, or that barrier?
Hubertâs death has brought it front and centre. Is it hard is it to talk about it?
âOf course it is tough to address something thatâs real and has happened,â Ricciardo says, âbut it does help to talk about it. Having the comfort of everyone else last weekend and being on the grid together, and talking to some of the other drivers⊠yeah, itâs not fun talking about it, but it also helps relieve any feelings or emotions.
"I think just knowing that youâre in the same boat with someone else, knowing that youâre not alone feeling the way you do, that helps.
"So being part of a group or a community. That was where you realise, there are rivalries or whatever, but a rivalry on track doesnât express how much we all have in common and how much we do actually care and feel for each other.
"Itâs tough but it does feel nice to get some of it off your chest.â (X)

What about... Carlos?
To be honest, I started to appreciate Carlos as a driver only lately. He was not one of my favourite on/off track.
I always looked at him, as the privileged guy with a rich father who managed to get in F1, and I personally didn't give him much credit.
However, in the last year I recognise that he is actually a good driver and he is getting better and better. And I think right now he is one of the best in the midfield, few mistakes and good performances.
Plus I also start to appreciate him as a person, he is a really nice guy, and I enjoyed really much the scenes with him in Drive to Survive.
So basically never judge a book by its cover hahaha â€đ
