Re:2022

When I think of Daniel's time at McLaren, I think the entirety of it is epitomised in the moments after the checkered flag in AD22.

Daniel gave his whole teenage and adult years to the sport and in the end he was disposed of so callously, without the finality or dignity of retirement nor the certainty of return. Instead after he sold and cultivated the popularity of the sport, after he spent his whole career hounded by cameras- he found a quiet corner on a dark track and did donuts alone to celebrate the remnants of his legacy, now literally only known to himself after his reputation was so thoroughly dismantled.

He then got out of the car and smiled at the cameras again and those wretched fucking vultures who built careers off of him asked him if he'd even fit into an f1 car if a seat was available next year and all he said in return was "I've been having trouble keeping weight", also with a smile.

#daniel joseph ricciardo pay for my therapy #and they put a fucking photo of the team that dismantled him on his dash. and he put “fuck them all” on his helmet. #that was daniel at the end of 2022. #truly sorry for this it was intially intended for megs eyes only but now im spiralling #fun fact known only to meg by ricciardo and i arent even on good terms rn hes in the cancelled pile 😒
