Where was this sensible take you were listening to? Asking for a friend (me)

Well, so to touch on Perez and actually go back on what I said, I do kind of agree with Helmut Marko that I don't think Perez is there next year full stop anyway, because I think that Red Bull after the last three to four years have seen this is just the same thing happening over and over again. And when the going is getting tough now, where, you know, they can't rely on a constructors championship because of Max alone and they're going into 2026. I think Horner himself has probably realised I not only could lose the constructors for 2026, I could lose Max. So I need to start planning not only the second seat, but kind of ramping up a replacement for Max in the future. So I think those wheels have to turn, so I think Checo is gone. As for the replacement, I think it's all on Lawson because I think Yuki's not going in, right? [I don't think he is.] As much as I was a big proponent, up until kind of maybe a few races ago, that Yuki is really performing really well, the problem is I don't think Ricciardo probably did enough to go into the Red Bull seat. And if Ricciardo hasn't done enough, then Yuki's not really done enough either, because Yuki and Ricciardo for the last six or seven races have more or less. [They were neck and neck]. Yeah. So like if Yuki was absolutely destroying Ricciardo, for the entire season, it would be like, okay, fair enough, he deserves a chance. So it really comes down to Lawson, doesn't it? Like this is why I don't think there'll be any switch from now to the end of the season. I don't think it makes sense anyway. But I think that if Lawson is absolutely categorically destroying Yuki, then there's your answer. He goes straight into that seat and makes sense, right? You swap him over. If Lawson comes in and doesn't outright beat Yuki over the rest of the season, that's a more difficult decision. And I could genuinely in that situation see them go right, we've got Yuki, Lawson and Ricciardo all performing roughly the same. Ricciardo is the known quantity, let's give him a season. That's where I could see that crazy decision happening. If Lawson comes in and completely not even destroys Yuki, but it's just comfortably ahead of Yuki every weekend. I would say it'd have to be five one. Four two is probably still cutting it too close. But if it's kind of five one or six zero, it's done. If it's three three, I think Ricciardo could potentially be called for us. I think somewhat similar and I think there's a reason why Daniel Ricciardo has not launched his retirement from Formula One [yet], and the reason is very simple. He's been told we'll see out the season. We'll see how things actually pan out.

thinking about how much time and mental effort I put into making sure my dog is exercised and enriched every day vs the new (largely north american) trend of never walking your dog because "they get enough during the day" (it's one hour of high arousal sports training) (where they sit in a crate for 40 mins of that) (and maybe a romp in a postcard-sized backyard if they're lucky) ((it's not enough for most dogs)) ((they're bragging about it))

#dogblr #dog training #dog enrichment #i feel like people took the 'be careful not to create an athlete' and sprinted in the opposite direction #all the way to 'your high drive / high arousal dogs should be satisfied with one hour of cumulative engagement and #23 hours of being put on a place mat'#wheres my post like 'if i didnt control my dogs access to resources would they still like me?'#its not good positive engagement when your dog is starved for something to do #that's just modern kennel life but youre patting yourself on the back because your dog is allowed on the couch #i woke up in a spicy mood this morning and made the mistake of looking at instagram #eta if youre being normal about it and trying your best with your dog this isnt about you #if youre bragging on social media about how you dont exercise your dog but it explodes off a place mat because its so pent up #then look inwards

Hiiii! I hate to ask I’m so sorry if this is a burden, but would you mind translating the full interview Franco did with that lady, the one where he shows his empty fridge? 😂 the auto translated subs aren’t the best and I’d love to know what he’s saying for real. Even if it’s just in transcript form if you can’t put the English subs into the actual video

F: So, my motorsport experience was always kind of individual and lonely, I was always very lonely at the beginning.

M: You came here to Europe when you were 14 years old, right?

F: Yes, so that entire family-like part of motorsport that I had in Argentina, going to races with my family-

M: I remember your mom, she was there when I interviewed you. You also have a little sister, no?

F: Yes, Martu. They'd always come to see my races in Argentina, whether it was karting or any other category, we always went together. But afterwards, that family-like part of motorsport disappeared for me. All those years I raced here in Europe I was always very lonely. Motorsport in Argentina represents families so much.

I've always thought that so many more argentinians followed F1. I realized that not so much, because there are so many people that started watching F1 just now. Since it's such an attracting sport, you can watch the races on Sundays at 10-11 am... I thought people watched it but I realized many didn't. Most of the people that started following me did it because there was an argentinian in F1, but they didn't follow the sport before.

M: Do you think that was something you lacked when you were a kid? A driver for you to say "I watch F1 just to support this person"?

F: Yes, I always say that I would've loved to have an argentinian driver to cheer for, to wake up in the mornings to watch their races. I used to wake up to watch Checo Pérez' races and it filled me with pride because we, all argentinians, felt like Checo was our closest driver. But the truth is that I've never had a driver from our country. Now being the one who gives so many kids the possibility to have an argentinian to root for, being the reason they get into this sport... now there are so many kids that are starting in karting...

M: That's what I was thinking, it's not uncommon that many people dream of making it to F1, but Argentina is very divided because there is a very strong national motorsport. Many karting drivers want to become professional drivers. Many dream of making it to F1 because it's the world's maximum category after all, but there was a clarity in you, saying "I want to do this"...

F: I knew what I wanted since I was a kid. My dream wasn't to race in TC or TC2000 [argentinian racing series].

M: Exactly. That's a different route.

F: It's a different route. What I see since a while ago, nowadays, 90% of the kids race in karting with the dream of making it to TC.

M: Exactly, but you're making another dream available. Because it's not the same now, being able to say "Look, there's a boy, argentinian, that did the same thing I did, that later went to Italy, and later-"

F: Looking at my messages, all of them have written to me "Hey, how did you start? How can I make it to F1 as well?" so I'm like okay, obviously it's very very VERY hard, but it is possible.

M: It's the confirmation, it is possible. The path is clearer, that's where the way is.

F: Yeah. But what I see is that Argentina's national motorsport is very strong.TC, TC2000 has so much weight. So a little kid grows up watching these races and their dream becomes just that, it takes them to that path.

F: Every athlete is proud of our home country, and I think that we will always show it in our character, our attitude, even while racing.

M: We were talking today about el Flaco Traverso. Just like Diego [Maradona] within his football always showed a very argentinian attitude, el Flaco also was a very argentinian character in motorsport.

F: Yes, el Flaco had such an argentinian attitude, I grew up with him, he was my idol. I remember being in Europe, showing videos of el Flaco to the Spaniards all the time and they were like "Who is this?!".

M: We all feel that it's a shame he couldn't see this, it would've been– he was so close to see it. We all thought that.

F: Things started happening right at the moment he left us, I think it's something that goes by hand... el Flaco, watching us from above, was the one who helped me, pushed me to where I am today.

M: It's beautiful for you to say that. Because we also said it back then, with Maradona and the World Cup, the fact that he couldn't see this last World Cup [that we won]. There might be something energetic, no?

F: Yes, I believe a lot in energies and all that strength that every argentinian started to put in, bringing it to motorsport for a driver that has been trying to achieve his dream for so long in Europe. I think that el Flaco helped me so much.

M: Like an amulet.

F: Yes, I really feel like he was part of all this. Meeting him in Argentina in 2022 was a dream come true for me.

M: Do you feel like you have a responsibility, or something like that?

F: No, zero. I love argentinians' support, I love that they are enjoying what is happening because it's something that hasn't happened in so long. It's been 23 years since the last argentinian F1 driver and now there's a chance of having an argentinian driver that is scoring points, doing well, it's something that our country needed. A lot of people was waiting for it. I love seeing them enjoying it so much, waking up in the mornings, celebrating when I do well, supporting me when I don't. It's very beautiful and it makes me very proud, because there is so much work behind, to make it to where I am.

M: You could've had a whole different life, if you weren't a driver, what would you have been? Have you thought about it? Leaving karting as if it was just a hobby, graduating high school, then...

F: I don't know, I've never thought of being anything but a car driver. Since I was a kid, it was very clear for me. Maybe different things could've happened, but always related to cars. I went to a technical school, so what I've always wanted was related to these things.

M: Do you have a diet, like, an athlete's diet?

F: Yes, I do have a diet, the problem is that I don't follow it.

M: May I know what that diet is like?

F: Franco's diet has lots of chicken, rice, basic and boring stuff. Veggies as well. I don't mind eating vegetables. I found some broccoli and cauliflowers that you put in the microwave and they cook themselves in 3 minutes. It's ideal, it's crazy.

M: But, do you put in any flavor? Soy sauce-

F: Only salt, pepper and olive oil.

M: For nutrition purposes is good, but you should explore some condiments- it'd be much better. You must notice it when someone else cooks for you!

F: Yes, I notice it, but I'm fine like this so when someone cooks for me I'm like "WOW you cook SO well! This is SO good!" because of course my bar is through the floor! Just eating chicken and broccoli every day...

M: Is your team/nutritionist too insistent with that stuff?

F: During the races it's quite important because, per example, in Singapore I lost over 3 kilos during the race. So you must have your food and hydration well-controlled. From Wednesday to Tuesday you must follow a food program and know the amount of weight and water you lose, how much you'll ingest, the sodium- I live solely on sodium during race weekends. The amount of salt I eat during a race weekend is unbelievable, because it's the only way for your body to maintain all the water inside your muscles. When you lose 3.5 kg you have to find the way to keep that water in.

M: Was it like this in F2, F3 and F4?

F: In F2 yes, F3 less, F4 no. In F2 I was in the same form I am today. I was ready for F1 then, because I was a reserve driver and if something happened I had to be ready. This year I took a big step in my preparation, especially the neck part.

M: Yeah, I saw, I know the size of your neck and all. The world knows how big your neck is, Franco.

F: The world knows! It's public!

M: Nobody else knows the size of their necks, I don't know mine. I think we all should measure our neck.

F: It's such a silly measurement. The reference, 43, is it a lot? Is it too little? Maybe I have a small neck. Maybe I measure yours and it's 50! We don't know.

M: Hey, the house tour... could we? Let's do it!

M: No, no, no, Franco, you need to negotiate for a better contract, man.

F: Yeah, I know.

M: I've never seen a fridge so empty in my life.

F: Look I have an ice cube tray!

M: But- did you move in today?!!

F: No, no... it's just that I don't eat anything.

M: You don't even have broccoli, what will you have for dinner tonight?

F: I'll just order something...

M: Look, Quilmes glasses!

F: The only ones I have. If you'd like a beer later, I have some, I'll open one for you.

F: Here's my helmet. I love it, it's so beautiful, with our flag all around it. Incredible. A little Biza cap, a Quilmes one.

[Martina points at the plants on the counter]

M: Are those real? Or are they made of plastic?

F: They're fake, of course. How could they be real? They'd die!

M: I have to ask you something, before I go. I forget I'm interviewing a F1 driver. And you told me that your dream was racing in F1.

F: I told you that a long time ago, I don't know how can you remember it! [Laughs]

M: I don't know how! It's not because there is a video! But seriously, I can't help asking you: Now, that you are a driver of the world's maximum category, what is your dream, so to speak, within this activity? [Laughs] That's exactly what I asked you in the past!

F: Well, I think that any driver's dream is to make it to F1 and that's what I worked so hard for...

M: Don't you have other dreams?

F: Of course I do, but when you achieve it, it's like– I don't know, I just got there and I already wanted to score points.

M: Done!

F: What's next? Make it to a podium. What's next?

M: But say it clearly!

F: I got into Q1, Q2, then I got into Q3 and it's like... that vision turns into something bigger. That's why drivers and athletes have gotten where we are, for being like this, competitive, for having this hunger to keep achieving things and not settling, not being conformists.

M: I think your North is renewed, after conquering it.

F: Of course, when I made it to F1 I said "I'd love to score points in a race. It'd be my dream to score points." After scoring points, now I want more.

M: Say it!

F: I mean, in the future my dream is to win the Formula 1, obviously.

M: There it is! You have to say it!

F: But first, maybe get a podium in the future, in a couple years. Then, win a race. Then, a world championship.

M: It's like a little stair.

F: That's the way dreams are achieved. Once you achieve one, another one quickly appears.

M: When I asked you that, I said "Can you imagine it?" and you thought about it and said "Yes, but-"

F: "I'm very little!"

M: Do you still feel like a little boy? Or not anymore?

F: I don't think so, I grew up very fast. I don't even feel like I'm just 21 years old.

M: When you race alongside those drivers you used to watch as a kid, as a fan...

F: It's weird, Fernando Alonso is almost twice my age so I used to watch his races when I was 8-9 years old, racing against Hamilton, fighting for titles. And suddenly, I'm racing against him, it's a bit shocking. But the truth is that when you put your helmet on and the visor is down, everyone is the same and a little of that fanaticism you had when you were a kid goes away. You want to beat them all, so that competitiveness and non-conforming attitude comes and it's like... I don't care who is next to me. Whether it's Verstappen or Zhou, it's the same. I want to win and I want to be ahead of them, as long as it is in my possibilities, if it's a Red Bull then it's obviously highly unlikely I'll beat it. But my point is that the fanaticism for those idols and heroes you had as a kid, goes a bit away and you try to respect them a little less, otherwise it's very hard to beat them if they're still your maximum idols.

M: And you are ready to be the maximum idol of someone else as well.

F: Well, no, I don't see myself like that. I just started in F1.

M: It's okay if you don't see yourself that way, it'd be strange if you did, you'd be a very arrogant person. But that's how many of us see you. We think this is just starting.

F: Of course I love that so many kids, argentinians, think of me as a reference of motorsport, that so many kids are getting into F1, into the sport, just because of what's happening now. But I still see myself as the same guy from 2 months ago that wasn't a F1 driver, that raced in F2, or even as the boy that a year ago was racing in F3 but didn't have the budget to make it to F2, so he and his team had to do crazy stuff to make it happen. And suddenly I'm in F1. Nobody was expecting it, I wasn't expecting it, I didn't know when that opportunity would come and suddenly it did. But I was ready for it, I had an amazing opportunity that I grabbed with both hands and I'm taking advantage of it.

M: And you're enjoying it.

F: I'm enjoying it so so much.

Martu, thank you for coming, it was a flashback to the past!

#i really liked this one #it's so cool they found her #context about el Flaco: one of the best argentinian drivers. he died in may 2024. franco paid tribute by putting “Traverso” on his F2 car #he won the sprint that day #last year Traverso sent Franco a video: “sending you a giant hug. take it easy. you're on your way up. i'll go to watch you race someday”#i don't mind putting subtitles to a shorter clip just let me know !!#also don't apologize i actually enjoy translating stuff 🙂‍↕️ best way to learn #franco colapinto #martina viglietti #fc43 #f1

See how it’s all fiabull and fia being biased for redbull and Max??

They even let them get away with illegal wings and place safety cars and VSC conveniently so that they are advantaged! Oh wait-

#f1 #max verstappen #red bull racing #anti mclaren #anti lando norris #I guess #tbh I don’t even am a big FIA is biased feeling #it’s just so funny to me some people think they advantage redbull #when we’ve had examples of the opposite even more recently #Charles got away more lightly for swearing #it’s not his fault #it’s the inconsistency of fia I guess #but can’t wait to see new conspiracy theories about fiabull when for the sprint the timing couldn’t have been less convenient for them #brazil sprint 2024

Running a little low on both writing capabilities and spare time at the moment. So instead, for day three of Amangela Holiday Week. I'm just going to offer the skeleton of a dialogue exchange I envisioned for this prompt, and you can all fill in the blanks as you'd like! 🫡 The voices are potentially way off but hopefully the vibes are still there.

standard smosh rpf disclaimer. F for fiction. fear not ye characterization does not apply irl. etc. etc.

Prompt: "You taste like peppermint."

----

"... Amanda. ...I know what candy canes taste like."

"Yeah, but. Well. Well, this is just in case you wanted to try. My one. Because this one is- uh- especially good."

"...You specifically want me to try your. Half eaten. Candy cane."

"Well not if you're going to give me attitude about it-"

"I'm not giving you attitude, you're just being weird. And I love you for it, but-"

"We share food all the time, this isn't THAT weird. And you don't have to-"

"-no, I mean, I'll do it, but god, Amanda, you know, there are WAY easier ways to get me to swap spit with you-"

[silence]

"... Did I say that out loud?"

"... Okay, way to turn my cute planned thing into the grossest thing I've ever heard. "Swap spit???""

"HEY- wait, don't turn this on me, what do YOU mean by planned-"

"You know what? Nevermind. Just get over here so I can kiss you."

"... you taste like peppermint."

"Well. I ate like. Four candy canes since this morning to try to get this to happen, so, I'm sorry, but it did work."

"I didn't say I didn't like it. ...But let me check again."

----

Context floating in my head that I couldn't execute effectively/quickly enough: this is pre amangela officially getting together. but both of them have an inkling of how they/the other person feels. Someone brought candy canes in. Angela has spent the full day being tormented because every time she looks over at Amanda, Amanda has a candy cane in her mouth/is partway eating it/is looking over at her while her mouth. Does Things/etc and she's Not Being Regular About It.

(In her defense Amanda is absolutely doing it intentionally.)

Close to the end of the day Amanda fully just offers Angela if she wants to "try her candy cane" while holding out the one she's eating. Cue this conversation.

Optionally: whatever else you think suits it!

thanks again to @zillaphoneswag for setting this up! :)

#as of late Extremely in my head about effective capturing tone and voice esp bc i havent been watching as closely #so the voices here are probably way off/very OOC and i apologize for that. but hooefully this is still fun to read/imagine on some level #im. busy and tired which means few brainells for creating and even fewer for proofreading #but! wanted to try to get /something/ out for the week. was deeply dissatisfied with the writing i turned out for this so just providing #dialogue and Vibes hopefully is a good middle ground 🤷‍♀️#amanda lehan canto #angela giarratana #amangela #amangela holiday week #smosh rpf #slammed this out in. not very long and am putting it down and sprinting away so i can 1- not second guess it into oblivion 2- sleep. maybe.#my fic #ish!#if i can wrangle it maybe id properly flesh out and publish it to ao3. but no promises
