Isn’t it just so funny to see the treatment of Ollie from other drivers compared to how they treated Max at 17 years of age…like some of these older drivers literally bullied a 17-18 year old constantly in the media, let him be made into the bad guy and for what..

Nice to see Max refuses to take their cowardly way and support young drivers😌

#your faves literally bullied a child :) #cause they were intimidated by an infant in a f1 car #lmao only one who supported him was Nando #max is ten times better than some of these drivers cause he would never #leave a young kid get harassed the way he did by the media thanks to those drivers #max verstappen #rambles #f1 #formula 1 #red bull racing

I was a race car driver except I was terrible at it because I cannot drive to save my life. After I crashed several times, Lightning McQueen personally ran me off the road.

to me the whole point of f1, and why i got into it, is that the cars are these meticulously engineered machines that - under the right circumstances - are fucking magical to watch. like for example, a wide angle shot of a car absolutely glued to the ground while going through a sleek S chicane?? 😮‍💨🤤

street tracks are just bumpy, with awkward super slow 90-degree corners, vision is obscured too, and it’s such a waste imo to have these incredible cars race in spaces where they don’t reach their full potential.

#the character and history of real race tracks create such a special atmosphere too!! #i want elevation changes and huge grand stands #i want to see more of the track and the cars than whatever view we can have between city buildings #i don’t want drivers tiptoeing around apartment blocks and wine bars like wtf are we doinggggggg #f1

Last Saturday night, I toured the Stewart Haas Racing headquarters, which was awesome… but I was disappointed to learn that I’m not a “good fit” for a career as a race car driver. No matter how much we tried, for five minutes I struggled to get into the driver's seat before deciding my future laid elsewhere.

it's so funny trying to talk to people about Speed Racer (2008), because it's like...what if there was a guy who drove a car so well that he defeated capitalism

#speed racer #speed racer 2008 #speed racer (2008) #it's like #imagine there's a nascar driver with no sponsors. no logos on his car or jacket or anything. and he's the only one without logos #everyone else is plastered with 'em like in any normal race #(except for this one other dude who seems weirdly attached to the first dude) #(but don't worry about it) #anyway #so this guy's the best driver in the world #but he's not in it for the money or the notoriety #just for pure _love of the game_ #he just likes racing! #and so he finds a way #to drive a car so well #that he sends jeff bezos to prison #and dissolves the biggest corporation in the world overnight #that's what speed racer is #thank you for coming to my ted talk #anyway I might have had this conversation with a nice old lady today #in my defense #she asked

Faithful and Virtuous Night, Louise Gluck (insp)

On February 1st 2024, it was announced that 7-time Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton and Formula 1 team Mercedes AMG Petronas would be parting ways after the 2024 season. This announcement ends an 11-year long partnership between Hamilton and the Mercedes works team, and a 17-year long relationship with their parent company, Mercedes-Benz.

Hamilton will drive for Scuderia Ferrari in the 2025 season. It will be the first time in his racing career driving a car with no connection to the Silver Arrows.

the recency bias in the f1 community is insane actually

#this is mostly regaring the comments i’ve seen about how ferrari are going to regret signing lewis over carlos for next year #like have people just forgotten everything lewis has achieved in his career??? #even last year! he came in third in the driver standings! #like #how can people compare carlos and lewis now and think that it’s a compelling argument #??? #the ferrari is literally the second fastest car!!!!! #but no just cause he has had trouble with his car in the last 3 gps he’s ’washed’ #let’s just disregard the fact that the merc is a tractor in disguise right now i guess….. #please be so fucking for real right now #formula 1 #f1 #lewis hamilton #this is not me being anti carlos btw. carlos is undeniably an amazing driver and i hope he gets a good seat next year #but please. we’re only 3 races into this season #we still have a long way to go #just chill #anyway #just had to get this off my chest

red bull: daniel’s bad habits from mclaren are fixed, he did well in the sim, and his tire test was so good that we immediately knew he was ready to be in a car.

alpha tauri & yuki: daniel’s feedback on the car has been instrumental, and he performed so well in difficult race conditions even though he didn’t have any upgrades and had some bad luck.

rando twitter user who doesn’t have the data, didn’t know liam lawson’s name three weeks ago, and constantly insults the way red bull quickly drops drivers who don’t perform: they’re only letting him drive for pr even though he’s a washed up failure.

#like is red bull too harsh on their drivers or are they hiring a pr merchant who can’t perform. pick a side. #it’s just hilarious that every single person who actually knows the sport & daniel’s data/contributions #won’t shut up about how helpful he’s been and how well he’s done and how mclaren doesn’t reflect his performance #but these random people on twitter think they know better #and their excuse is ‘well liam scored points’ as if he isn’t driving a different car entirely lmfao #like liam has done well! i like liam a lot! #but he’s benefited from a better car/things happening around him in the race/not being head to head against yuki #he’s done a great job but there’s literally been ZERO real head to head comparison between the 3 drivers #but alpha tauri/red bull rate daniel and they have his data and know what hes done for the car & setup #i don’t ever deny that daniel’s popularity certainly doesn’t hurt #but they dropped nyck like he was nothing #red bull axes anyone who can’t perform #if daniel couldn’t do it then he wouldn’t have a seat. not that hard to understand. #people on the internet make me feral. i cannot use the internet. i need to stick to my curated feeds bc everyone is so STUPID.

Some bkdk racing au nobody asked for 🏎 (but I really like it so why not)

Bakugo is a debuting, but talented, Indycar driver and Deku is his number one fanboy.

One day, by pure chance, they bump into each other at the exit of the audience stands and from that moment on they realise how much they need each other.

#I dont know if this au has already been done but I like it so i drawn it #who know if people will like it I'll work on it a bit more #maybe a lil comic idk #bkdk #bakudeku #bkdk racing au #bkdk au #race car driver katsuki #n°1 fanboy deku #katsuki bakugo #izuku midoriya #mha #my brainrot is particularly strong these days🤔🤔 #bear with me please #my art stuff
