They couldn't end the race under the safety car! This was exciting for the fans!
You know what's also exciting? Race on ice! Add blue shells and banana peels! Set the track on fire! Allow them to fuel rocket fuel! Make sprint an actual sprint! Let them run with their little driver legs! Forget horse power bring back horses! SCUDERIA FERRARI!
things that happened during the 2021 season that looking back almost feel like fever dreams:
sandstorms during testing??
valtteri spinning in the pitlane in styria and everybody talking about it as if he attempted murder in broad daylight
that cringey mclaren song that never materialised but that did lead to lando getting an actual drumset
mahaveer raghunathan testing an alfa romeo f1 car??? (still can’t believe i’m typing this)
alex albon having to recreate lewis’s line through copse 😭
the austrian anthem played on a guitar before the austrian gp
just … shaquille o’neal during the entire austin gp (that giant car he drove up in during the podium??)
williams’ team principal and technical director ‘and they were roomates’ situation and when ted tried to describe it he fumbled for a whole minute because anything he said made is sound gay
the entire saga of valtteri’s pit stop in monaco … the front right wheelgun man just shaving off the entire wheelnut?? the ferrari garage bringing a hammer to help?? merc having to ship the entire car back to the factory to get the wheel off … longest pitstop ever and it delivered the drama tbh
lewis doing the second standing start being ALONE on the grid in hungary my god
idk it just feels so good when you realize a fandom friend has become ur friend friend—y’know? like instead of only talking about ur common interest u start branching out and talking to each other about your lives, your other hobbies, and it’s even cooler to remain close if one or both of you lose interest in the fandom you met in. your bond, no longer dependent on the mutual love you had for some thing—now lies upon the kinship you’ve built. i think that’s beautiful
While y’all are fighting over a 0 points battle as if it was for P1, Kimi is going to apologize to Seb and they will talk it out like friends and civilized human beings like they always have.
Hun, for Hungary, football is first. I think COVID decided to dissappear for that time when we could held matches in Puskás. I mean. Did you saw the hungarian fans? We are wild when it comes to football. And they probably were all vaccinated.
But is the stadium in full capacity? Don’t they have Covid in Hungary? It’s so weird to see full stadium and no masks.
