Please tell me this is not the name of his farm. In all honesty he really couldnāt come up with something better than āRanchlandā?
"You're stuck on a desert island with two drivers excluding your teammate, who are you picking?"
"Well to be honest anything I do with Daniel for example, right? It's just- you're laughing constantly cause he's just... Daniel!"
Max that wasn't the question šš
(Credit to @/ricstappen on tiktok I just thought the tumblr girlies would want to see this too)
All I'm hoping for this weekend is a Max Verstappen win so we can finally see him jump into that pool š
Montreal ā
Daniel in the points + Alex's overtake + Hamilton setting the fastest lap + Max win means this weekend is officially one of my favourites this season. If only Logan didn't DNF and Yuki didn't crash š„²š„²
Kmag could do the funniest thing in abu dhabi and podium-sandwich his career, as well as give haas a double podium finish
In light of Charles becoming the new brand ambassador for Puma, I want to remind everyone that Puma is one of THE main brands on the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) targets list.
Do not fall for this shit, I don't care if you like anything they come out with. People are purposefully obtuse about why Puma is on the Boycott list and ITS NOT BECAUSE THEY DRESS THE ISRAELI NATIONAL TEAM! Puma is the title sponsor of the Israel Football Association which sponsors teams that operate on illegal settlements on Palestinian land, these settlements are regarded as war crimes under international law. From the official BDS list:
In December of 2023, Puma announced that they would not renew their sponsorship with the Israel Football Association (after the death of 30,000 Palestinians at the time). However they remain on the Boycott list until 2025, when they actually commit to divesting from Israel because they have engaged in misinformation in the past when coming under sustained pressure. In 2021, Puma claimed to stop supporting Israeli teams on illegal settlements but an investigation by BDS found that they had lied and it was simply PR crisis management: (1) they lied about not supporting teams on illegal settlements, (2) they lied about having Israeli distributors who have branches operated on stolen land and (3) they lied that one of their main licencees does not operate on stolen land.
So until Puma officially abides by that divestment, BDS have kept them on the Boycott list because they have a history of lying.
+ reminder Puma also sponsor Ferrari and Mercedes.
Unless their cheap, ugly shit is worth more to you than Palestinian lives, you can wait until they officially divest from paying for illegal settlements, so that colonisers can play on stolen land.
F1 was live on instagram a few minutes ago, with Lawrence Barnetto interviewing a couple of the drivers! Here are some of my favourite moments while I try and stay awake for the race :))
Lawrence interviewing oscar piastri with his autographed shirt
Lewis going "you rated me pretty low on the predictions" and making Lawrence freak out for a few seconds
Daniel Ricciardo! Nothing happened beyond him talking about his expectations for the car and the race, I just wanted to include him
And, of course, Spider-man waving to the drivers
Bonus: Lando being handed a mic and then turning back to whatever George was saying instead of actually doing the interview (did not get a screenshot, unfortunately) and the cameraman focusing on 1644 every time they could.
Super excited for the Chinese GP since itās been gone for so long⦠hoping Sauber gets their shit together bc I really want Zhou to score points šš
But also, theyāre giving the drivers ONE HOUR to get used to the track before sprint shootout starts, which is insane for a circuit that hasnāt been on the calendar since 2019. Hell, some of the grid havenāt even been on the circuit before. What a decision.
Some quick doodles while I work on something for Sukuza š
