#also katya threw on indycar prwctice highlights last night and i was impressed at how much i understood

[dear-ao3]

haven’t watched any of f1 pre season testing yet because i’ve been unfortunately busy but i am also low key scared to, which is stupid but i’ll explain anyway.

last year, the year of the massive f1 post, was the first year i watched a season in its entirety from start to finish. every race, qualifying, sprint and sprint qualifying. and some practice sessions. yea it was for the post but it was mostly for me to learn as much as humanly possible. i did so much googling and wikipedia diving and so much rule book reading and highlight watching from previous years so that i could understand just what the fuck was going on. turned out to be the longest and most insane season but i kept with it and i still did it. like the final product of the Post you all saw was a very small amount of information that i wrote out when you compare what i actually looked up.

and now i am sitting here. at the start of a new season. going. do i still remember all of that. will i be massively confused. or will i have to go back down the research holes again this year. and also: am i even still interested in this
