you have to feel for mika salo sometimes. imagine dedicating your entire childhood, your entire career to a sport. and making it there as one of the best drivers in the world. and even in that tiny tiny pool of talent you're still not the best racing mika from the street you grew up on

Someone who did not drink the Ferrari kool-aid:

David Coulthard: "Now, you've driven for Ferrari, so a little bit of your heart is with the team?"

Mika Salo: "No, I don't care who wins as long as it's a good race."

I just witnessed Mika Salo, a former finnish F1 driver, state on live broadcast that he thinks "a good show is more important than the safety of drivers".. has that man completely lost his mind??? They are real people!! And Mika Salo knows very well the risks considering he witnessed Senna's crash and Häkkinen' coma first hand!! I'd rather watch 10 000 hours of "boring" free practice than see anyone dying or getting severely injured in F1 ever again.

I believe Hamilton knows something that the rest of us do not yet know. Whether it is related to the development of Ferrari’s car or the staff of the team, it is difficult to say. However, there must be a reason why he made the decision to move. In light of the current power balance in F1, it would otherwise make no sense.

I don’t believe in soulmates. Five words. Five simple words.. He scrubbed and scrubbed at them - in the shower until his skin was pink, and his fingers were bleeding. Until the water - never more than lukewarm - had turned frigid, cold enough to freeze the tear tracks on his cheeks. Until his eyes were tearless - his snot and phlegm dried in his throat.

Then, he stepped out.

Grabbed a warm hoodie and thick pants. Slipped hand warmers into his pockets for protection against the biting cold. Opened his apartment door- a chill breeze blew in with a curl of dust. Inhaled. Braced. Ventured out into the world.

His phone lit up with texts. Buzzing like an angry hornet’s nest. Non-stop. He sighed. Pulled it out, thumb-swiping the familiar pattern to unlock the screen. Eighteen assorted WhatsApp messages.

Salo: hey dude- did it work?

Mika: No. Nice waste of $14. .

Oh. That’s too bad- it was worth a shot though! Better than having-

BEEP! A horn blared. “Hey! watch where you’re going!” a cabby yelled. A fist shook. Mika shot him an irritated glare, gesturing toward the bright green crossing man flashing on the traffic light across the intersection. The cabby glowered. His car rolled forward, one centimetre… Mika ducked his head and crossed the street.

The drab grey university building loomed before him. Cinderblock. Tattered posters and banners flapped in the wind. Students, their heads retracted into black blazers, hurried across the courtyard, trailed by white eddies. The only pop of colour- a crimson jacket. And it's owner, spittle flying from his mouth as he hawked his wares. Tiny bottles of some clear liquid, stacked precariously over the mobile pushcart beside him.

Mika sighed. “Michael.”

The man turned. His eyes widen. Then, grinning, smile dimpling at the edges. “Ah! A repeat customer! Welcome!” He rubbed his hands together. ”What can I get for you-“

“Is there anything real in that cart? You sold me a dud.” He held up an identical bottle, pinched between his thumb and index. “$14 dollars is a steal, huh?”

Michael squinted at him. And the bottle. “I… sold you a… huh. I could swear I- May I?” He reached out, taking the bottle into palm. His eyebrows drew together, his face crinkling. “Hmm. Yes. As I thought.” He turned back to the cart. “I’ll just get you a-“

The bottle went flying. Mika ducked out of the way, hands flying up to protect his face- sprayed with the god-knew-what liquid as it smashed on the floor. Perkele! His eyes watered in response. “You bastard-“ he coughed, struggling to breathe. “You-“ he doubles over coughing. Sneakers squealed on the concrete pavement

. By the time he was finished blinking the tears out of his eyes- Michael was long gone. And those goddamn words were still there on his wrist. I don’t believe in soulmates. Mika growled. Tugged his sleeve over them.

Something something: soulmate AU where they know each others deepest secrets- it’s written on their skins.

Something something: discrimination against soulmate pairs for “security concerns”

Something, something: Michael’s a con man promising ways to painlessly remove obvious soul-mate tattoos, Mika’s a university student /CIA (or whatever the Finnish equivalent is) agent on track to be one of the best b4 the damn tattoos showed up-

I'm working on some school work, (might share later) and I'm really bored so I'll hit you with 5 fun Finnish F1 related name facts:

Ä [ae] and Ö [oe] matter a lot.

The letters Ä and Ö are very important with the meaning of a word.

aka, Vaara = Danger, but Väärä = Wrong

(And so the same thing happens with surnames. I see a lot of people turn Räikkönen to Raikkonen, which are two completely different surnames, say for example Johnson and Johansson. Same with Häkkinen, which goes from meaning "Cage" to "Stitch marker". Pretty funny.)

2. Mika is the 9th most common mans name in Finland.

3. "-nen" means "small," "lesser" or simply "from somewhere" -> Häkkinen = Small cage, Virtanen = From the river

4. Salo means "forest island"

5. "Norris" or the way its pronounced (nauris) means "Turnip" in Finnish.

On This Day in F1: February 13th

Present: Ferrari Car Launch

History: 1995 CRB Rules in Favor of Tyrrell

On February 13, 2024, Ferrari revealed the SF-24 and had its shakedown at Fiorano.

As it has been the case with most of the car launches this year, there was no fan event or livestream. Instead, there was an approximately 2-minute video that revealed the car, followed by articles that had quotes from drivers (Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz) and the team principal (Fred Vasseur), and a shakedown at Fiorano. Despite that, Tifosi did gather outside of Maranello and Fiorano while decked out in rosso corsa.

The SF-24 is its usual red color with an addition of white and yellow lines. Unlike some cars this season, the Ferrari is heavily painted like the VCARB car.

On this day in 1995, the Contract Recognition Board decided that Mika Salo was under contract with Tyrrell and would not be driving for Pacific Team Lotus.

Salo had driven for Lotus in 1994, but the team had collapsed by the end of the season so he signed with Tyrrell after impressing them in testing. Lotus tried to block the move, due to the impending merger of Pacific Racing and Lotus (that would only join them in name, no technology or staff would go to Pacific).

The CRB discussed this for days before announcing on February 13th that the Lotus team Salo was originally contracted with was not the same Lotus team that would be joining Pacific Racing in 1995. Therefore, his contract with Tyrrell stood and he would be contracted to them.
