After making a few people sad on my last post, I have decided to compare F1 Drivers with flowers :)
1) Max Verstappen - Gladiolus
The gladiolus represents character strength and moral integrity. It has links to the Greek god Apollo after an accidental death.
2) Sergio Pérez - Baby's-Breath
Baby's-breath is traditionally an accent flower, only being used to complement the main flowers in bouquets. While popularity has grown and have become a flower of it's own, they are still looked as a secondary flower in a bouquet, a filler-flower. They can be attributed to innocence and purity.
3) Charles Leclerc - Dahlia
Dahlia's are symbols of inner strength, dignity, perseverance, and persistence. However, black dahlia's symbol betrayal, sadness.
4) Carlos Sainz - Camellia
Camellias represent eternal love, grace, sophistication, and excellence. In Japan, they are used for noble deaths and in Victorian Europe they were attributed to showing wealth and luxury. They have many different variations.
5) Lando Norris - Magnolia
Magnolias have typically represented nobility, dignity, perseverance, endurance, joy, and happiness. They are typically used to spread a message of finding hope when stuff goes awry, to find grace and peace. The tree itself can represent luck.
6) Oscar Piastri - Hippeastrum
Also called Amaryllis, these flowers are symbols of achievement, love, strength, determination, and hope. Hippeastrums are popular for their ability to bloom indoors during the winter months, during unfavorable conditions. They are from the southern hemisphere and can bloom in many different colours.
Maybe I'll do a more of these if people like them <3

Charles’ patches and pins :)
SKA pin: Quick History lesson because I had no idea what it was: definitely google more:
SKA is a music genre that originated in Jamaica. In the 70s a lot of Jamaicans immigrated to the UK. Punks and young Jamaican immigrants felt a sense of unity due to both being screwed over by the system. This led to 2 Tone SKA which mixed SKA with punk rock elements. While 2 Tone SKA is a genre, it was also a movement that focused on racial unity.
Rude Boy patch: In late 60s Jamaica RudeBoys were young “delinquents” who listened to rocksteady music. Term was used in England to refer to fans of SKA and 2 tone. Think the other insults used for punks that have been reclaimed.
Checker Print pin: Represents racial unity in the movement.
Target patch: Symbol for the Mod subculture. Google this one to.
Union Jack pin (on bag) and patch: He sure is British
Smiley face pin: I believe it’s just a generic smiley face but it could be a logo.
Unknown metal(?) pin: I can’t get a clear enough look at it to even begin to guess what it is.
Unknown pin: I have no idea. The one between the metal one and the checker print. No a clue.
Unknown flag(?) pin: A flag with horizontal blue, yellow, and red stripes but I can’t find anything with those colors in that order.

Thank you, Andrea!
For preparing Charles for every race, but especially Qatar. Charles was in fairly decent shape after that brutal race, able to conduct interviews like normal (after checking in with Andrea, as he mentioned to Canal+).
We may joke about Charles having 3 drinking bottles and needing to run to the bathroom at every opportunity, but he is staying well hydrated pre-race.
We may offer to take over from Andrea when he applies the menthol spray to Charles, or drool over the ice baths, but these are no luxury.
And it may have been funny when Charles accidentally pressed the drink button during his post-race thank you's, but at least we know he carries water on board (unlike SAR).
Here is Andrea (in 2013 when he was Jules Bianchi's trainer) talking about preparing a driver for a race with extreme weather:

Grazie Andrea 💕 - for always taking such good care of Charles.
