#uhhhhh you mean two of the most competitive seasons in history?????????

[skitskatdacat63]

Please save me, I'm reading a reddit thread about Seb vs Max(bcs Tost said he thought Seb would win out), and none of these people know how good Seb was in his prime

#the fucking ignorance in this thread im gonna shoot myself #theyre like:oh he barely won 2010 and 2012 #uhhhhh you mean two of the most competitive seasons in history????????? #2010: literally had 5 championship contenders for a while and then still 4 for the closer #^ also tbh its super impressive to me that he was never leading the wdc and still managed to pull it off at the last moment #and 2012 which is regarded as one of if not the best seasons of all time in which there were six different winners in the first six races #i cannot fucking believe i jsut saw a comment basically seb is not as aggressive as max #saying he doesnt have the samw 'step on their neck' mentality as Max does #uh what??????????? im sorry but seb was one of the most ruthless drivers ever and was way more of an asshole abt it. multi-21?????? #but fuck. these people dont know him and his wdc years at all 😭😭 #still has the record for most poles in a season. is still the youngest wdc and polesitter #got pole and won a race in his 1 ½ season IN AN STR before rbr could even try pulling that off #it just really sucks to me how his flop years have ruined his reputation for some people #yeah ofc he kinda fell off in the latter years of ferrari and amr but that doesnt erase all of his incredible performance in the prior yrs?? #like please i beg of you go watch the rbr era years and you will be impressed istg #another stupid argument was saying 'oh he made too many mistakes in 2009 and lost a wdc he couldve won' #first of all that was only his 2½ season and his first season in a top team #and also not all of his dnfs and crashes in that ssn were his fault :/ the car wasnt the most reliable :/ #i love max and i think hes probably one of the goats but my god the regency bias is insane #^ and alongside that. oh you point out all Seb's mistakes but completely ignore when max was called the crash kid?? 😭😭 #like saying seb lost 2009 due to rookie mistakes...YEAH CAUSE HE WAS ONLY IN HIS 2½ YEAR AS A 21/22 YR OLD #also I think its impossible anyways to say who would win that matchup bcs theyre in completely different eras #seb dominated that v8 era and max dominates this current era. its truly impossible to say bcs they mastered completely dif cars #like whu cant we just say both of them are pretty damn fantastic as rbr golden boys?? #anyways. fuck im so irritated right now. this is an affront to my spirit!!! #its really just: say you dont know seb without saying you dont know seb #catie.rambling.txt

SO. everything with 4 in it.

HAHAHA payback no no i get it its fine this is fine :)))) enjoy a ton of answers under the cut. Sorry it took me AGES to answer this but you know how it goes

(if anyone wants to still send me questions, here’s the list!! X )

4. Do you have a favourite racing film? - Ford V. Ferrari for sure!!! i love that movie so so much and the score absolutely helps me love it more.

14. Which was your first race you watched? -  so, the first race that i remember was Canada 2019 so HAHAHA yes. i watched seb switch the boards and thats what I distinctly remember. HOWEVER, the first race that I got into was Austria GP 2020 cause this was the first season that I cared about F1.

24. Is there a driver that you think gets an underserved amount of hate? - Lance Stroll no further questions.

34. Is there championship battle that you least enjoyed? - UHHHHH I mean I could not tell you cause again I have not paid attention that much. Like the first championship battles I’ve seen is this year so like....not much of a competition.  Once I watch more, I will let you know!!

40. Which podium made you happy the most?  - TURKEY GP 2020 THIS YEAR ITS SO GOOD. It made me so so happy to see Lewis, Checo and Seb up there. They all drove so so well and seeing Seb up there to help celebrate Lewis’ title too is just...great.

41. Which podium was your least favourite? - huh. I think the Russian GP 2020 because like...okay we’d gotten used to lewis and val and max being up there in some sort of way for a while. Then we got Monza! And even Muggello! But then all of a sudden we go crashing back to earth with our regular 3. So... idk its not a bad podium by any means! But for this season it was just like “oh yeah...right. This is how its supposed to be.” Not that we can’t have different podiums! But it was just cool to see new stuff but then like “oh yeah i remember these. guys” 

42. What was one of your personal highlights of F1? - well so i started the sport a while ago cause my dad has always watched it. But then, I watched. DTS and the rest is history. Like I actually paid attention then instead of just saying “oh cool Lewis won.” Anyway, my dad has always been a seb fan and so I’ve always had a big spot in my heart for him. Whenever this year started and the Ferrari was just...not great, I was kind of upset cause I was thinking “oh man. i won’t get to see the great Sebastian Vettel race like the pro he is this year.” I mean, they’re all pros but you get what I mean. So I think the best moment was again, Turkey just because I finally got to say thats it. That’s the Seb I know my dad has been raving about for the past ever. It was just really cool.

43. What was your highlight (or highlights of the season)? - Uh, well I thought this was similar to the last question but I guess not? We’ll go more driver highlights tho instead of my. highlight. Biggest highlights had to be Pierre’s win at Monza. I cried a lot that day. There’s just something about his story that makes him winning that much sweeter. I think also Daniel and Checo getting two podiums (and Checo winning) is VERY impressive and a highlight. Also!!!! Esteban got his first podium and thats huge!!! Lots more but those are the first ones I’ve got coming to me.

44. Where would you want to have a race? - Well, somewhere in the States cause I just wanna be able to get there!!! But, no, I’ve not really put a lot of thought into this. I guess I’d like to have one in the midwest just cause thats where I am but Colorado with the mountains in the background (so like around Denver) or actually in the mountains would be so so cool.

45. Where would you want to visit a race? - From next years calendar, Australia sounds cool but to be fair, I’ve always wanted to go there. As cliché as it is, I think Monaco would be cool but i’d be very over it very quickly ya know? Just cause i’d be like  “oh cool boats and fanfare!” And then like okay....what else is up. But I really do like street circuits so as long as its one of those, I feel like I’d enjoy!

46. Where wouldn’t you like to race anymore? - Barcelona. Please get it off the calendar. That or Sochi. Like... I’m so over those and I’ve only been in the sport for a shortened season.

47. Which of the circuits would you like to replace? - hmmm confused... thought i just answered this but uhhhh i guess replace will be Sochi. Replace it with uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh idk one of the new ones we had this year. Turkey was obviously good so go with that one.

48. What would your dream podium be? -  ooh....dream podium. Seb, Daniel and Pierre. Don’t ask why. It’s just a thing that I feel in my gut. 

49. What would be your ideal F1 team? Who would drive for it, who would be the team principle and so on? - I’ve already answered this one and it took a bunch of space so for the sake of keeping this somewhat short here’s the link to that one! 

54. Which was your favourite bromance line up? - Bromance line up or in general??? Bromance lineup though I’ll stick to George and Nicky. Nicky holding up the sign to stop taking shirtless pics just got me. (I know its this year and i could probably go another era but oh well)

64. Is there a ship that seems so weird but somehow just works for you? - hmmmm....I mean there are a bunch of weird ships but I don’t follow them!

74. Are there any F1 that you change your perspective on somethings? - looking at the questions around this, i think this means F1 blogs that change my perspective on things. All right this is a loaded question. Usually, no. There aren’t. Mainly because I follow the blogs that I have the same perspective as or our perspectives line up. So, no from that side of things. Now, thats for most of the “big issues” that you see everyone arguing in the tags over. Things like ships and other things... sure. @dansteban and @estebanoconz got me into liking Dansteban so my perspective changed on that just cause I’d never considered it. But otherwise, big topic issues I got nothing.

THANKS FOR ALL THE QUESTIONS IT WAS ACTUALLY FUN ONCE I REMEMBERED TO DO THEM
