ollie and kimi sitting on the floor of the prema driver’s truck after their last feature race debrief watching as every engineer and mechanic filter out for the last time from the place they were raised. No more Prema Party’s. no more floor is lava. No more birthday pies in the face. No more Pedro or Rene or Carlo. They’ll never film another lap or stupid challenge. They just have each other and the last dwindling few minutes they can spend as kids before being told to leave
I'm seeing the parallels between McLaren in F1 & IndyCar. Oscar is becoming the favourite over Lando and Christian is becoming the favourite over Pato, despite the fact Pato and Lando have been there for McLaren since the start and they've given the best part of their careers to that team and they're being pushed aside for a new shiny toy. I hate McLaren rn and I hate what they're doing to the men who gave them everything.
They weren't even children's books, they were a collection of books about the great civilizations of history.
Who needs coffee when this is the first thing you see in the morning
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
Happy day of the Uruguayan Battle of Stones if you celebrate it in your country!

i think part of the gut punch about daniel leaving is the combination of him giving so much of himself to the sport and fans (through dts and being so open etc) and getting so little back from it (not even getting the decency or grace of an announcement prior to his last race so he could do doughnuts or celebrate, instead we got him crying in an interview as he was ruthlessly ribbed about it for headlines and him being unable to say goodbye to and get a genuine appreciation & send off from fans). anyway, fuck red bull for that 👍
I get that Formula 1 is a competition. I get that business can be cruel. But, in the words of Susie Wolff:
It seems like some (cough) teams have forgotten what it means to have empathy and compassion lately. Because there is, in fact, a way to move on from drivers without seeming callous and ungrateful … if teams would actually care enough to use it.
It’s weird.
I’ve been a Formula 1 fan for most of my life, I’ve seen drivers come and go, I cried when Sebastian Vettel retired.
But this hits particularly hard.
I remember watching Daniel Ricciardo’s first race. I was nine, and I remember thinking about how young he looked. I remember him winning with Red Bull. I remember his smile. I remember his shoeys. I remember Monaco 2018 and how, despite not being a Red Bull fan, I teared up as Daniel got redemption. I remember the rollercoaster that followed his leaving. I remember his return last year. I remember him breaking his wrist to protect Oscar Piastri while crashing. I remember the grins and laughter. I remember to enjoy the butterflies.
This one hurts.
