Thinking about how Daniel made the photo of him with Pierre and Patrick as the first image in that dump. He could’ve made it the helmet swap with Oscar, a group photo, or the 3 on the garage floor. Any of those probably would’ve made more sense from an engagement or aesthetic standpoint. But no he specifically chose a candid moment with the two guys who were with him every second he was in that car. Two guys who would be relatively unknown to the casual fan, but who were integral to Daniel and shared the ups and downs of this journey with him.

#woke up and remembered that post and this was the first thing I thought about #when you think about the race engineers Daniel has had in his career obviously Simon stands tall at the front #but it really felt like the connection he had with Pierre was a real renaissance back to that same level of just getting each other #they still definitely had their moments where they were figuring it out but I really feel like they were building such a strong partnership #they clearly enjoyed each other and there was so much more potential there #all this to say #I’m glad he was able to build those connections again and find people who just GOT him you know?#I’ll never forget Pierre barking on the radio with him #or the enchante or the I’m boiling for you mate!#it was good #they were good
