Did carlos also used the friend word? Do you know when?

Hi, so I actually compiled some links mostly for myself, but also for you and anyone else interested. See below the cut!

Times Charles has referred to Carlos as a "friend":

'He has obviously become a friend.'

‘We were already good friends before we joined Ferrari.'

'We have a very special relationship. I mean, we are obviously friends outside the track as well. We are sharing good moments. We spend so much time - I mean, I see Carlos more than my own family...'

'He's a super nice guy, he's super easy to get on with and, uh- straight away we understood that we had a lot of interest outside racing in common. And now I can call him a friend, outside of racing.' (newest instance, at the end of their teammate era...)

Times Carlos has referred to Charles as a "friend":

'My teammate and I are friends off the track, we get along very well and we have a very good relationship. And we make a very good team. I think that if there is something that worked and works in Ferrari, it is the two drivers...' (translated from Spanish)

'We've been teammates for four years. There's been barely any situation where we've had a contact, or we had a misunderstanding. And even if we've had them, we've always moved on and we've always remained friends and had a really good relationship." (at the end of their teammate era...)

This is just what I could track down, but if anyone knows of others let me know!

Carlos has spoken about how he and charles get along very well, but that it's hard for him (and other drivers) to truly be friends with their teammates bc they're always so competitive with each other, and there's so much pressure to beat one another. ("Friend is a strong word that I don’t like using for anything or anyone.") And combine that with what we know about how, as a kid, he was surprised by other kids he thought were his friends running him off track and out of the race, we can see how much weight he applies to the 'friend' label.

To Carlos, I think a 'friend' is someone that a part of his brain would hesitate to race too hard against, and he can't let that happen with his teammate, who he wants and needs to beat more than anyone. He can afford to maybe leave Lando or Alonso a little more space on track bc he values his relationship with them as friends, and they're not currently his teammates. But he can't let himself have that relationship with Charles, or, for that matter, Alex next season.

Will he be able to say that he and Charles are friends more readily next year when they aren't teammates any longer? I think so. That was certainly the case with Lando. But I also think his relationship with Lando was a bit different - Lando was almost like a little brother to him. With Charles, he's more firmly a peer, and I think that hyper-competitiveness between them may always linger, right up until they aren't racing eo anymore, maybe especially bc their partnership was cut short before either could win a championship as teammates.

Time will tell, but it's clear that they already view their time together very fondly. They've spoken plainly about 'hating each other' inside the helmet when they've battled and disagreed, but that they always make up after two minutes. It's beautiful that they can always come back to the respect they have for one another. It's a unique relationship, and I look forward to seeing how it evolves in the years to come. ❤️

You start it, you finish it. It will end in your death. My death? I'm gonna take this hand and wrap it around that scrawny neck of yours, just like you did our daughter.

“The Spanish girls were like, 'you got to see whales at the sea, you hugged a koala, you fed kangaroos' -- I said, yeah, but I didn't win the World Cup.”

“Enea Bastianini can’t talk about challenging or difficult situations because his english isn’t good enough to provide nuance”

This right here is the problem with english-speaking media. If you want to complain about riders not talking enough about issues they’ve faced then either learn THEIR language so you get a good enough understanding or shut up talking about these guys trying their best to communicate in their second, third, sometimes even fourth languages…

“Bueno, el último ... el último adversario que más me complicó la vida fue - Novak. Y lo invité para jugar mi último partido también. Eso no sé si está todo muy bien.” [sonríe]

"Well, the ultimate... the ultimate opponent who made my life the most difficult was - Novak. And then I invited him to play my last match. I think there might be something wrong with me." [smiles]

Bonus: his reaction when the interviewer jokingly tells him that maybe he should speak to a psychologist about this

[romanscool]

Just thought I’d drop this here,,,

This is the duo I never thought I needed, but I now I need Franco to teach Oscar Spanish and Oscar’s Australian accent to peek through the already accented (Argentinian) Spanish,,, maybe even with some teasing going on who know

(Somebody help me I’m spiraling)

[pedripics]

I think Pedri’s interviews are a good start if y’all want to learn spanish, he speaks slowly and his accent is not that hard

this is so funny because i personally 100% agree but i have seen so many people say that they have a hard time understanding pedri because of his thick accent

We spoke with the famous K-pop boy band during their visit to the Estadio Cívitas Metropolitano de Madrid

[...] As we mentioned before, their most recent project is HARD, which came out on June 26 of this year and marked Taemin's return after completing his military service.

In fact, for them, they confessed, this album release "has helped them demonstrate" to their fans that they're still "working for and thinking about them."

K-Pop is an unstoppable phenomenon. SHINee is undoubtedly one of the veteran groups of the scene, as they debuted in 2008, and since then, they haven't stopped gifting their talent to the world.

This has also led them to witness all kinds of changes and adapt to them. They're proud to have witnessed the K-pop expansion and also have kept their fans around the world.

It's 13 years [og writer mistake lol] since their first studio album release, The SHINee World, and with pride for what they accomplished, there's also the happiness. Key, Minho, and Taemin reply with a smile from ear to ear and say they are happy to have arrived here.

'What about the future? How do you see yourself in the future?'

They don't have any doubts: "We won't change."

SHINee ensures that it will continue to maintain that unstoppable passion for music and for the creation of its songs. Although they also show their desire to explore their solo talents and rejoin as a group to continue making history in the K-Pop industry.

also does anyone have recommendations for programs to learn Spanish or another language? Or any tips/advice for learning? I’m bad at learning languages but I really want to learn for my new job so that I can connect better with clients and not work through a translator for too long
