Some reminders and affirmations:
It’s okay to feel sad because the season has ended.
It’s okay to feel sad because the grid won’t look the same next year.
It’s okay to feel sad because your favorite driver doesn’t have a seat in 2025.
It’s okay to feel sad because your favorite driver will be driving for a different team next season.
It’s okay to feel sad because things are changing. But it’s also okay to feel happy and excited.
There’s no right or wrong here. Sports are quite literally designed to play on our emotions. This is just part of being a fan.
Whatever you’re feeling right now, your feelings are valid ❤️
you can kill the man (carlos dnf in melbourne) but not the idea (alex finishing p5)
as a mexican, i’m upset about checo leaving red bull, about méxico indefinitely leaving the grid after fourteen years. we’re losing the only representation we had, but i know it’s for the best for him. i’m, however, relieved he won’t be dealing with the mistreatment of the media. gracias checo por poner a nuestro país en alto, por hacer sonar nuestro himno en lo más alto del podio, por representarnos en un deporte repleto de europeos. gracias, gracias, gracias. can’t wait to see what you’ll do next, sé que te volveremos a ver pronto. never give up. 🇲🇽 <3
Stop comparing Checo with Lawson, they are practically VERY different. The only thing they share is the fact that they drove for RBR as second driver. Everything else, completely different
Checo had been in F1 for years, in mid-table/low teams, achieving podium finishes in some cases. Practically demonstrating his driving skills, but without any luck of victory. Until Sakhir 2020, a victory where he came back from his incident to win. Reason why many people were happy when I joined RBR. Checo is known for being a kind person who treats others well within F1.
Instead we have Lawson, who was painted as a great pilot, being able to achieve what Checo didn't, lie! He started in 2023 showing himself as an option, it was not until 2024 that he was already in the VCARB seat that he showed who he really is. Having problems with Spanish-speaking pilots. It's already been bad for him and it's getting worse, not only he's not give good results, but other pilots have shown to have problems with him- I would say it's ridiculous to see it like this, bc one wouldn't expect it to go SO badly. And it's surprising to see everything that happens, because in FACT it gives worse results than Checo's last races, because Checo simply ended up with a wrecked car, without a team to help him, with an engineer who ignored him. Lawson ain't, bc his engineer is not the same (the previous one didn't even do his job well), team does what they can to help him, but this is very embarrassing to see.
Fun fact: when RBR said goodbye to Checo, Checo's helmet, his famous slogan, was erased, his "Never give up". I guess that wasn't just an edit, but it reflects on the team itself, and I'm happy that's happening.
And last thing to comment, I hope Yuki isn't going to be in that damn car and that damn Helmut
i think if Checo joined Cadillac, Max would kill everyone on the track and then himself in front of Checo to change the trajectory of his life forever
it’s gonna be so scary when red bull finally runs out of replacements and helmut marko’s dementia riddled one eyed corpse has to drive that second car
I just got out of school to see Logan won't be in the remaining races. James Vowels when I see you it's on sight
Elon Musk doing a n*zi salute, Trump declaring he will change the Gulf Of Mexico to the Gulf Of America, ending birthright citizenship, ICE raids starting.
Birthright citizenship is protected under the U.S constitution. This is a slap in the face to all the hardworking immigrants who come to America for a better life for them and their families.
As of now, I’ve seen videos and posts that ICE will begin raids in Chicago. To all my immigrant friends in Chicago, stay safe and know that you have rights in this country.
I’m scared for these next four years. I’m scared for my friends and family, for the people of color, for the LGBTQ community, for the future.
To the Latinos for trump people, remember that you voted for this. You vote will cause so much damage to families. I don’t support all Latinos, some of you are insufferable.
I know I have made several posts about politics, but you have to understand that for me, it has always been politics. My family is going to be affected by all these changes. I hope the day never comes when I get a phone call from a loved one saying my uncle or aunt got taken away by ICE.
Here’s some cities that are going to have ICE raids in the upcoming days:
Stay safe everyone ❤️
America is the land of immigrants!
I'd rather not have Yuki go anywhere near that disgusting team BUT
the crowd weren’t booing christian horner because they’re upset that red bull have been winning, they were booing because he is a sex pest who faced no consequences or repercussions for his actions and he is the leader of a team who has always turned a blind eye when their fans have been outright racist towards other drivers actions and only spoken out when a white driver was getting hate. also for the fia to put out a statement is just beyond bizarre when they’ve consistently kept their mouths firmly shut when drivers in their sport recieve an onslaught of hate with nothing done to prevent it but yes booing christian horner is where the line must be drawn.
