#and the iconic gap quotes from Senna

[singsweetmelodies]

10, 21 🏎

hi anna!! thanks so much for asking <3333

10. do you have a controversial f1 take?

DEFINITELY. i have far too much of a hater soul not to 🤭 now, i've already answered this one here, actually, but i'm more than happy to give you another!

*clears throat* carlos sainz jr is a glorified pay driver, and everyone likes to forget that just because he has reasonably nice hair.

21. what is your favourite f1-related quote?

OOOOHHH!! oh, gosh, i don't think i can choose just one... "he won in spa, HE WINS IN MONZA!!!" will always make me grin like an idiot, and probably also type out about five hundred red hearts 🤭❤️ but i am also very fond of ayrton senna's legendary quote, "if you no longer go for a gap that exists, then you are no longer a racing driver." that one is just absolutely iconic imo.

ahhhhh but then there's also the magical commentary on the final stretches of the monza GP 2020... sentimentally, one of my favourite moments is when charles goes to hug pierre post-race, and crofty's voice softens a little and he goes "now isn't that nice." yes, crofty. it is nice 🥹

i'm going to conclude by linking you to this fabulous post by @sedicii, compiling some of the best quotes from charles about ferrari - because THESE. these just get me right in the heart. especially that one where he goes "if being in a cage means being in ferrari, then i'd like to be in a cage for my entire life..." GOD. just. god. yeah

(get to know me: f1 edition)

#asks & answers #get to know me: f1 edition #again... sorry not sorry for the carlos sainz shade #but this is a fundamental part of my blog i'm afraid #i'm not here to watch f1 dispassionately... #i'm here to love certain drivers passionately; and hate others just as passionately #👍👍👍👍

7 May | LCDrarry Fic:

Rush [For A Gap That Exists]

Prompt: "Rush", 2013, Ron Howard Prompted by: The Author Author: Anonymous Word Count: 42,012 words Rating: Mature Warnings: Sexual Content, Graphic Depictions of Injury and Recovery

Notes:Huge shoutout to S for being the most unbelievably amazing beta I’ve ever had the privilege of working with, and cheering me on the whole time I was writing this story. It is the honest-to-god truth to say that I could not have finished this without you. Another huge shoutout to Y for working like a last-minute beta machine on this and making sure the story was perfect. This fic is based on the real-life story of two incredible Formula One racing drivers (Niki Lauda and James Hunt - absolute icons) and their fight for the Championship Title, as immortalised in the movie 'Rush'. Although the overarching theme of this fic is taken from the two protagonists of the movie, I've drawn heavily from other Formula One rivalries as well (Lewis Hamilton/Nico Rosberg, Ayrton Senna/Alain Prost) bc what can I say it's not my fault that F1 is chock-full of legendary homoerotic rivalries. Title taken from Ayrton Senna's infamous overtaking quote: "If you no longer go for a gap that exists, then you are no longer a racing driver."

Summary: There is something about racing that sets your blood on fire: the speed, the thrill, the action. The rev of the engines, thunderous as they charge down the track, the trail of sparks that fly in their wake. This is not for the faint of heart; and yet, there is a story here, one that is fragile and tender. A story of love and loss that grew amidst the most infamous rivalry in Formula One history: the story of Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter.
