he or perhaps his brother would do numbers on here
yall help they’re suing the Pitt because Dr. Robby is too sad and Shawn Hatosy is too sexy this is unreal 😭
FIA: Swear words are illegal now. If you say one you'll be fined.
Max: Heck.
FIA: You're on thin fucking ice.
FIA: Oh no-
It's crazy that people think mclaren were being unfair by *checks notes* allowing the first driver to get pit priority and not *checks notes again* making him slow down for 5 seconds to make up for the second driver's slow pit stop.
Lando has had multiple (5 in a row!) bad pitstops, and the only time they ever used team orders was when they requested that oscar get pit priority to protect from behind, and Will *promised* Lando he would not get undercut. And then they kept that promise. Same thing they did in Hungary 2024 (funny how ppl seem to forget this.)
Lando learned and said no this time, the correct answer. He shouldn't have allowed oscar to pit first in monza either because then charles could have undercut oscar. Lando *did oscar a favor* in monza, and they were free to race immediately afterwards, when Lando was still on cold tyres. And he still couldn't overtake him.
Mclaren fucking up another pit stop is a huge concern. But the end it didn't hurt oscar at all.
"Combination of car and driver" Yeah Toto, almost like you should fight to keep the guy who's wrangling wins out of your temperamental car?

![The Basics. 24 races + 6 sprints (mini races) across 22 countries. 10 teams (constructors) with 2 drivers each (20 total). The top ten finishers in a race get points (From 1st to 10th: 25, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1) and top eight get points in a sprint. Tyre strategy, driver skill, how good or bad the car is, weather, & yellow/red flags can all affect the end results of a race. [Image: Russell Radio, quote; Is anyone else reporting rain? I think it’s sweat from the inside of my helmet. End ID.] It’s the final year of the current regulations meaning the field is very close. Lap times between cars can be thousandths of a second. Stewards, FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile), race control, race director, and track marshals are all different but don’t worry about it. Teams can have over a thousand staff, Eg., PR, engineers, strategists, pit crew, data analysts, aerodynamicists, etc. English is the language of the paddock and everyone speaks it, but F1 is very diverse and has multitudes of different languages and cultures! Typical Race Weekend: Thursday - Media. Friday - FP1 & FP2. Saturday - FP3 & Quali. Sunday - Race Day. Sprint Weekend: Thursday - Media. Friday - FP1 & Sprint Quali. Saturday - Sprint & Quali. Sunday - Race Day.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/114c8bd65727f025718daa8d347aeacc/c6286e52dc070d4a-6d/s1280x1920/fbb5816f2e4ede7696908a565019596d6bfb6ee8.png)
![McLaren. Joined in 1966 - British team. Car characteristics: Orange, Google Chrome wheel covers. Historically relevant team (9 WCC & 12 WDC) and are last year’s WCC winner (probably this years too) after genuinely sucking ass since 2013 (great example of more money = better car). [Image: Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna next to the 1988 McLaren with a Marlboro sponsorship. End ID.] Marlboro sponsor, my beloved. [Image: Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso on the podium in 2007, Lewis in 1st and Fernando in 2nd. End ID.] Fun fact! They have 52 or so sponsors + the most diverse portfolio in the sport. This includes: Hilton, eBay, MasterCard, TUMI, etc. Call themselves Team Papaya for obvious reasons. Team Principal Andrea Stella is overshadowed by their CEO Zak Brown (the token American). Zak is evil and the jury’s still out for Andrea. This team could get 1st and 2nd and somehow still piss off their fans (papaya rules). [Image: Rob Marshall, McLaren chief design engineer. End ID.] The guy largely responsible for McLaren’s rise. Known for their papaya yaoi because Lando and Oscar simply refuse to have beef despite everything. [Image: Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, who is holding a baby, both looking very domestic. End ID.] Current drivers are lowkey married. Don’t let the propaganda fool you, both drivers are cats. Currently a front runner, usually a midfielder.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/906bfbe9d18d5537fe629a18a909a1dc/c6286e52dc070d4a-6e/s1280x1920/e4d970b61ade129c661ee4bbe14183f230674c2b.png)

Valentino Rossi fanboy (does NOT hate Marc). [Images: One of Lando with Valentino and the other of him hugging Marc Marquez. End ID.] Can always be found napping somewhere. [Image: Lando sleeping face down on the floor. End ID.] Has bear paws, elf ears, & lots of cute moles! Keeps getting new scars on his nose.

Known for his sarcastic team radio messages. [Image: Piastri Radio. Quote; Yep. Move of a world champion, that one. End ID.] Ridiculously cartoonish hair swoosh (it’s cute). Seems chill & nonchalant, but is actually imploding inside (no really). Owns a grand total of 8 shirts (half of which are the same color). [Images: Three separate photos of him wearing what is essentially the same black shirt. End ID.] May or may not look like Michael Goob Yagoobian. Has subtle beef with Carlos and no one’s entirely sure why. [Image: Piastri Radio. Quote; Typical Carlos. End ID.] Fun fact! Their “guess the lyrics” video single handedly changed the fandom trajectory.

![Scuderia Ferrari. Circa 1950 - Italian team, basically the second religion in Italy, haha no seriously. Car characteristics: Red (and their huge HP logos). THE historic team of F1, longest running team, most WDC (15) and WCC (16) but have been in a winning slump since 2007. [Images: One of Kimi Raikkonen in 2007 and the other of Michael Schumacher in 2006. End IDs.] Quote; Everybody is a Ferrari fan, even if they're not; they are a Ferrari fan. End quote - Sebastian Vettel. Yoyo from being the biggest clowns of the paddock and then the chosen ones. Team principal Fred Vasseur needs a therapist. Ferrari drivers have very sad radio messages (they are begging for help and freedom). [Image: Leclerc Radio. Charles’ race engineer says, “Ok, we are checking.” Charles responds, “Like this I cannot fight. It’s BEEP dangerous.” Image: Hamilton Radio. Quote; This is not good team work. That’s all I’m gonna say. Image: Sainz Radio. Quote; Ricky. These are not new inters. Which inter is this? Hello? Image: Leclerc Radio. Quote; This is so incredibly frustrating. We’ve lost all competitiveness. You just have to listen to me, I would have found a different way of managing those issues. Now It’s just undriveable. It’s a miracle if we finish on the podium. End IDs.] The team pretends its Schumacher glory days were the norm and not the exception. Have the most beautiful driver line up (not biased). An engine supplier for other teams. Certified front runner to upper midfield team.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/4de994a715930e856cd169df93ce41fe/c6286e52dc070d4a-64/s1280x1920/fc9d1f7079bc1618bd2d0cfc80428e9f9c61f5c2.png)

End ID.] Did not know his childhood dream of joining Ferrari would cause so much pain. A fashion aficionado (everywhere is his runway). [Images: In one, he is wearing a bright orange puffer jacket, some sunglasses, a variety of jewelry, and jeans. One is a selfie where he is shirtless, but only just below his collarbone is visible and so are his tattoos and necklaces. His hair is in an afro with shorter bangs/fringe pieces and lightly bleached. In the next selfie he is wearing a purple button up shirt and his hair in a bunch of small sectioned twists that are collected into two small high pigtails. In the next picture he is at a photoshoot wearing an orange leather color monochromatic look where the jacket is off one shoulder. In the final picture, he is wearing a soft pink monochromatic outfit that has a very sheer shirt, a silky jacket with matching pants, and a dog tag necklace. End IDs.] Biblical falling out with his childhood friend Nico Rosberg (Brocedes). [Image: Nico and Lewis on a podium facing away from each other dramatically.

Joined in 2018. 48 podiums, 8 wins, 27 poles. “The Sun of Maranello”. The chosen one by Ferrari (since 2019), but they’re letting him rot.

The other is of him and Pierre Gasly playing chess on an airplane. End ID.] Friends with Pierre since about 2005. Commits fashion atrocities (way too big pants) regularly, but gets away with it because he’s so beautiful. The only guy who has fun with Max’s on track terrorism (freak4freak) (it’s his only solace from the Ferrari-hubris-strategy and his biblically mandated suffering).

[Images: One of Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, & Daniel Ricciardo on the podium together in 2016. The other of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton on the podium together in 2023. End IDs.] Brocedes aside, this is probably the team with the least drama. An engine supplier for McLaren, Aston Martin, & Williams. Might be back on top next year. Known for their team principal Toto Wolff (multilingual GOAT of the paddock: German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, & Polish). They lost Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari this year. [Image: Lewis Hamilton with the Mercedes team next to his car in 2020. There is a big board that says, “Lewis 7” on it as he had won his seventh WDC.

He’s actually Max’s narrative foil, but people gloss over that to focus on their beef. [Image: George and Max Verstappen looking like they are unhappy with eachother even though Max’s back is to the camera. George’s brow is furrowed as he looks at Max. End ID.] Powerpoint presentationed Toto into giving him a seat. Known for his headbands, chiseled jawline, bug eyes, and always being shirtless on main. [Images: A series of pictures, one of which is George in parc fermé with a headband on, another of him shirtless and making a face as he looks at a cut watermelon. In another, he is shirtless and lounging on a rock with his foot resting in the running water looking very much like a mermaid. One is just of him smiling looking very pretty with his round eyes and in another he is shirtless again. There’s a final picture of him in the Mercedes garage leaning against something, hand on his hip, looking very effortlessly pretty with his big eyes looking off somewhere.

Kimi is smiling, leaning into Ollie, and looking at the camera making a peace sign. Ollie is clapping and smiling while looking off into the distance.
