putting this one on this account because its a bit. suggestive.
had a discussion with some friends about v1 being very dirty and stinky and probably needing to be washed. we talked about waxing. i figured gabriel's a bit of a neat freak and v1 doesn't like being cleaned very much, so the angel has to hold them down in order to get them decently spotless.
also fun fact that you (hopefully) didn't notice. the thumb of v1's right hand is on the wrong side. i've fixed it but i'm too lazy to take another picture so they have two left hands. oh well.
why's he half naked? doesn't want blood on the armor, of course
getting a headache again because someone on twitter said (paraphrased) “my theory about lestappen so far is that max understands charles’s frustrations, and max knows charles is a better driver than his car allows him to be capable of. he is a special driver like me. that’s why we walk together”
and? the sheer poetry of someone knowing you deeply, intimately… yes, possible through the science, the data of race stats or car performance or analytics, but through all of it, it also amounts to them saying this:
I see you, I know you, you are my shadow. We push each other, and it is the closest thing to completion I might find on the track because you are my equal. This is a dance with only us in it. So take my hand.
