top 5 mando moments

I feel like every time I'm asked this the answer changes RAPID FIRE these are the ones in my brain rn

1. The OG breakfast for three incident. Why did everyone else leave Dubai and only Max stayed with Lando and Luisa and why was he there at breakfast and why were Max and Luisa watching Lando work out and why did Lando upload that story with Dreams by Fleetwood Mac

2. This random stream in the back of a car was not okay why did they go film a Quadrant promo at an airport hanger just the two of them and then it never got released #sus #posttheouttakes

3. When Max went to AD2021 and was upset to be on the stands instead of the garage like a good wag and got really drunk and then a few days later after everyone else had left Lando brought him to watch post-season testing and they took these cute pics

4. After they spent a week on their yacht trip summer break 2022 they decided to drive from Spain to Portugal on some stupid golf trip and then Lando was being really annoying and insisted he was going to use the toilet while Max was standing shirtless in the shower. Bit weird that.

5. The way Lando kept (still has????) cardboard cut out Max for literal years in his Monaco flat. He had no reason to keep it beyond the joke but I'm 1000% confident and certain that he talks to cardboard Max because he can't actually move Max into his little flat.

And special shout out to when they genuinely cyberbullied Jess together bc that video always makes me laugh

ask for my top 5 anything

[averagef1fansblog]

My tierlist.

1. My GOAT is the reason I started watching F1.

2. I started to believe in Oscar Piastri's WDC potential. I see the vision of op81 fans and am right there with them.

3. Valtteri is such a cool guy; I have always liked him since his days at Williams, especially James, and this is Valtteri thing.

Esteban is such a nice guy that there is nothing to dislike, at least off track.

Yuki; My fellow of the same height, a person of colour, is coming to F1, and you think I am not supporting him? I am right there.

Guanyu fashion is 🤌🏽 - However, his driving skills are lacking, which is unfortunate.

I believed in the Charles WDC potential talks in 2019 and 2020; Ferrari has fucked him over numerous times, but Charles, when is your villain era coming? It should have happened in 2022. Both he and Ferrari fumbled.

4. I tolerate all of the people in this tier, and my opinion of them is largely based on their relationship with Lewis.

5. Lance Stroll, I used to root for you, my fellow Canadian, but some shady things he had done, such as pushing his trainer, made me dislike him.

Carlos is here because the Spanish media treats him as if he is on the same level as Charles, despite the fact that the talent gap is greater than most people realize. Anyone who is liked by the Spanish media, I am the polar opposite.

Daniel "It is all noise and distractions." PRicciardo, I am not moved by his bubble and smiley guy persona.

Alex "They race me too hard" or "it is just karma" (when discussing AD2021) Albon. Carlos will reveal your mediocrity in 2025, and Franco is already doing so.

Alonso, where do I start? First and foremost, his entire incident with Spanish gp blackface in 2007, which he chose to ignore when it was his countrymen doing it, and calling Lewis a clown for dressing however he wants. He is a talented driver, however, and there is a reason he has won 2x WDC.

6. Max has his own category solely for the AD2021 thing (i don’t blame him fuck masi), which I understand is a sport but I just do not like, as well as the whole defeding Nelson Piquet thing. I like his honesty in some things, like how he just says what he thinks, but Max, you will never have a fan in me, but I can respect you are a talented mf.

7. The British media, his fans, and even some members of Team LH believe he is all that. He threw away so many wins after Miami that they are dismissing it as nothing; imagine if Lewis, Max, or Charles were doing that. They would be crucified, but little Lando Norris cannot handle the pressure. This man reignited my haterism for sports; I had not hated anyone since 2022, when Real Madrid won the Champions League. If he wins a championship before Leclerc, with a car faster than anyone since Canada or Spain, I will not be moved. Took 6 seasons for him to finally win races.

- That is all. Franco would probably go in the “i like you” category because he is my fellow TeamLH guy.

Bernie Ecclestone said in March of this year that he knew of the scandal in 2008, but didn't say anything because "We wanted to protect the sport and save it from a huge scandal." So why say anything now? He went on to undermine Lewis in that same article, saying that Massa did everything right, while Lewis had "all the luck in the world." I don't understand why you don't believe that the FIA is corrupt after everything they've done so far....

Okay so. I debated even answering this but we're all bored anyway so let's indulge. Recap : you think the FIA orchestrated Massa going public about suing over the 2008 WDC to prevent Merc from doing it over AD 2021.

Let's break this down :

"The FIA"

Who? Who in the FIA? The whole association? The whole-ass association that oversees 200+ national motorsport organizations? All of them are corrupt for some reason? Now in this ask you mention Bernie. You are aware that Bernie doesn't work for the FIA, right? Do you think they had a meeting somehow and decided that Massa suing them would be the best course of action about something that Merc had decided not to sue them over in the first place???

"Orchestrated Massa going public about suing over the 2008 WDC"

What did they do exactly? Pay Massa to sue them? Pay Massa so he'd PUBLICLY sue them? First of all, how would it be good for them to get sued? Second of all, aren't court proceedings generally public anyway?

"It prevents Merc from doing it over AD2021."

HOW. Just HOW. If anything, if Massa wins his case, it sets a precedent for Merc to do the same thing, because he shouldn't win due to the statute of limitations. Also again : not everything is about AD21. Please. The only people still talking about it are a subset of Lewis fans and Toto. Move on. Don't forget, but move on.

"Why is Bernie talking now?"

Because he's a fucking idiot who thinks he's untouchable. Why? Because of the statute of limitations I've just mentioned. When he realised it did have consequences he pretended he never said it in the first place.

"He went on to undermine Lewis in the same article."

First of all if you're gonna cite an article CITE THE ARTICLE so I can read it. Second of all Bernie never needed a reason or an excuse to undermine Lewis, he's been doing it for years, because he's a racist piece of shit. Third of all what does that have to do with it? Because Bernie badmouthed Lewis it means the FIA orchestrated Massa suing them? PLEASE.

"I don't understand why you don't believe that the FIA is corrupt after everything they've done so far…"

Me not taking your unsourced unbased and overall absurd conspiracy theory seriously doesn't mean I think the FIA is good or whatever. It just means I don't think conspiracy theories are worth my time. But yeah, I also don't think such huge organizations are black or white good or bad. This is called nuance. Have they fucked up numerous times? Sure. Why don't we focus on these documented times they did fuck up rather than make up new ones that don't have any basis? Like. Idk. The time they knew about crashgate and didn't do anything about it?!

And now tell me Anon, why does it bother you so much that I don't agree with you that you needed to send me two asks about it? If you believe in your theory, what does it matter to you that I don't?

[wejustvibing]

They can fuck off with the whole money thing now people who've been watching f1 specially mercedes can notice the change since AD2021 and that man finally decided to put himself first in years after mistreatment in the name of loyalty family and home, this man has always been vocal and open about making his business and foundation bigger and bigger and when he wanted to do that with mercedes they told him no what do you expect him to do exactly? people need to understand that when lewis retires he's not gonna just sit back at home and just relax and chill he's thinking for years and years ahead like please no one ever did that, and let's not talk about how openly toto said "opted a shorter contract" this is just disrespectful to say and do to the man who did everything to this team and treating him like any other driver no disrespect to anyone though but lewis is that guy and he deserves the world and yeah a man that is pushing 40 is able to get 100M$ they can screw off you dont get that except you're this big of game changer i wanna see if any other driver got such opportunity they wouldn't jump at it and what anon said he's got nothing to lose anymore he experienced everything good and everything bad in this sport just let him do what he thinks it's best for him!

no elite athlete ever does. they're their own brand and sometimes industry themselves and these companies need to realize that and grow with them. but they feel threatened and settle on sabotaging them instead

yes, idc what these people say about the money aspect. they can keep crying we are busy building empires with or without merc

link to article: https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.formula-1-fia-and-mercedes-condemn-online-racist-abuse-of-hamilton.1Ml2uo6t9cGtHOglVYxNce.html

People will excuse all abuse towards one driver just because they don’t like him 🗿 Funny how I never see these people condemn racist abuse towards Yuki, Zhou or Albon. Or the horrible abuse and death threats against Latifi after AD2021.

Keep cherry picking bruv, whatever helps you sleep at night 😇

[f1-obsessed333]

Mate you know Jess Mcfayden still stands by that horrible "Dear Max Verstappen" piece before AD2021 last year? Professionally that was an absolutely disgusting piece and everyone involved should be ashamed https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/a-request-to-verstappen-before-his-f1-title-showdown-with-hamilton/6864023/

Yeah I know. What is even more astounding is that she still stands by it a year later.

Everyone makes mistakes but to not realise how bad that was even a year later is baffling to me.

[dellovestorant]

Btw I have not watched the F1 2016 season, MotoGP 2015 season or AD2021.

I know down to the nitty gritty of what went down but I refuse to watch it actually happen live in action. I'm not mentally stable enough for that shit 🙂‍↕️

[f0point5]

I don’t really think the Charles helmet is a farewell. He’s done tribute helmets to Ferrari in the past. AD2021 he had a special tribute helmet for Ferrari and had it not been for Seb retiring 2022 probably would have been the same

This is probably the case.

That helmet looks SO sentimental though

[mercschumini]

If I was Mercedes after all AD2021 I would, too, be petty af over others teams penalties

[hamyilton]

Sorry, but this is bizarre to me. Max was known long before 2021 to be an ‘on the limit’ and potentially dangerous driver (need I remind people the ‘verstappen’ rule that had to be created), and people did care? Not sure about every side of tumblr but I felt the most unity against Max and his driving in the lead up to Abu Dhabi, there were even op-eds published at the time warning Max to not purposefully cheat and crash into Lewis.

Max is a dirty driver who on many occasions has attempted to crash his opponent out rather than let them pass. This is completely unacceptable behavior regardless of who it is to, and as a lewis fan I am always inherently on the side of the driver trying to survive his unsportsmanlike driving. To go full sour grapes and think that because ad2021 happened, every driver ‘deserves’ to have their races affected by max to me is antithetical to being a lewis fan. Can’t you see the hypocrisy? I saw people blame lando for the Austria 2024 incident and no one would have ever fucking dreamed of blaming lewis for his shit with max in 2021, even max fans knew the most they could do was claim a racing incident. I know a lot of people on tumblr have very intense hatred towards lando but you can’t call yourself a lewis fan if you truly support the guy who parked a car on his head and stole his record-breaking championship over literally anyone else.

nah i don’t feel sorry when others drivers get the same treatment as lewis in 2021. everyone was silent and you didn’t listened to us when we told yall that it’s gonna be an issue

[wejustvibing]

I agree so much with last anon , I saw a whole thread on another side about British people celebrating for AD2021 and their excuse was " We don't like him because he is a tax dodger" like Max doesn't t live in Monaco too

that's just one of the thousand shitty excuses they love to use. it's never been about the taxes

[delicate44]

i'm the anon with the yt link! absolutely no problem dear, glad you have your boundaries 💜

for me the reading just confirmed all ive ever felt about AD2021

Thanks Anon for being understanding! I, just idk how to explain it. I do believe in these things to an extent but there's a pit of anxiety attached to it, yk? I've also been joking that he's been cursed or his stars aren't aligned right for all the bad luck he's faced from then on! Hopefully this year is a turn for the better

[thisisyourdriverspeaking]

I can't help but have flashbacks to AD2021 whenever it looks like safety cars/red flags may benefit Max & Red Bull ngl
