#f1 tag game

[starlightiing]

F1 Tag Game! Tag some people you'd like to get to know better!

Tagged by: No one, I'm a force to be reckoned with.

Who is your favorite driver?: George Russell!

Do you have other favorite drivers?: Alex Albon, Pierre Gasly, Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, Charles Leclerc - I like all but 3, really.

Who is your least favorite driver?: Sighs, I don't like admitting to this, but...It's a toss up between three. I'll just name one for now - Alonso.

Do you pull for drivers or do you like teams as well?: I pull for both, really!

If you like teams, what team do you pull for?: Ferrari, Williams, Alpine, McLaren.

How long have you been into F1?: I've watched casually (VERY casually) for a few years but I haven't actually FOLLOWED the sport until the start of this season.

What got you into F1?: My fiancé rekindled my love and got me and my entire family into it right after my grandmother passed literally days before the start of the season. He really brought us a lot of light in a time where we needed it most.

Do you enjoy Fanfic/RPF?: I do. RPF is just a fantasy play world, like a dollhouse. Holds no bearing on the real world - as long as you can separate the two, you're good.

How do you view new fans?: No issue. We were all new fans once, weren't we? Some may barge in with wild takes and hell I probably still do, but overall I think they are just looking to find some friends to help them learn the sport a bit better and then will be integral parts of the fandom once they acclimate!

If you could take over as team principal for any team, who would it be and why?: That's such a stressful job and I am not built for stress. It would have to be like, jesus, I can't really pick. I would do no better than anyone up there doing it right now LOL but I guess it would be COOL to pull Williams up from the depths, yeah? Sorry, James.

Are your friends and family into F1 as well?: Yeah! My parents and sister (and BIL) are into it, my grandpa enjoys it, my fiancé, and then a few of my best friends really enjoy it as well!

Are you open to talking to other fans/making friends?: Always. That's pretty much the only reason I'm here aside from just showcasing my love.

🏎️💨 THE FORMULA 1 TAG GAME! 🏎️💨:

Thank you @itshoneywhatever for the tag! ❤

1. Who or what got you into F1?

Back in 2003, the year I was turning 9, my mother, sister and I came across an F1 race on TV by accident one weekend. We decided to watch it, and by the end of the race, we were all hooked. I've been watching F1 ever since.

2. Who was the very first F1 driver you supported? Do you support them now? Have your opinions on them differed or stayed the same since then?

Kimi Räikkönen! And should he ever come out of retirement (again), he will absolutely go back to being my favorite driver. I've loved Kimi since the beginning, and I love him just as much now.

3. Who’s your current favourite F1 driver?

Max Verstappen, with Charles Leclerc being a close second. I also have a soft spot for K-Mag and Fernando Alonso.

4. Is there a driver pairing or pairings you support? What made you attracted to that pairing in the first place?

I doubt anyone will be surprised when I say Lestappen. What got me into Lestappen was the lore and the history and the general vibe between them. I'm a sucker for the whole "childhood enemies to respected rivals to friends" trope.

5. Do your parents, siblings or relatives have a favourite driver?

My mother, sister and myself all had Kimi Räikkönen as our favorite back in the day. Now, in terms of active drivers, my mother's favorite driver is Fernando Alonso, whereas my sister's favorite is Carlos Sainz. My father doesn't watch F1.

6. Do you have any favourite races? Are there any that stand out to you the most?

The 2004 Belgian Grand Prix, because it was the first race I watched Kimi win. In more recent years, I'll have to go with the 2019 Austrian Grand Prix (because of the drama), the 2022 Austrian Grand Prix, and the 2023 Japanese Grand Prix.

7. Do you have a favourite circuit? Can be from the past or from the current calendar.

I love Zandvoort and Silverstone.

8. Have you ever been to an F1 race in real life? Feel free to tell us your experience going to one if you like.

Sadly, no. But I do hope to be able to go to one at some point!

9. Have you ever met an F1 driver in real life?

Nope.

10. Do you have a favourite F1 car? If so, what is it?

The RB19, simply because of how absolutely insane it was.

11. Do you have a favourite one win wonder?

Heikki Kovalainen! He was my second favorite driver in the years he was active, and I screamed when he won the 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix.

12. Do you have any favourite quotes from the F1 world? This can either be inspirational or hilarious.

Kimi Räikkönen's iconic: "Leave me alone, I know what I'm doing!" will never stop living rent-free in my head.

🏎️💨 THE FORMULA 1 TAG GAME! 🏎️💨:

Thank you @linewire for the tag!! And sorry it took me so long to get to it ❤️‍🩹

1. Who or what got you into F1?

Tiktok started to bombard me with edits of Toto Wolff, and I became obsessed with the man. Then the edits turned to Max Verstappen and his sad past and how much he has accomplished. I couldn’t say no to those blue eyes. Then I watched DTS and that made me realize I will die defending Max.

2. Who was the very first F1 driver you supported? Do you support them now? Have your opinions on them differed or stayed the same since then?

It started with Max and it will end with Max. I think very highly of him, he has a good head on his shoulders and has calmed down quite a bit since he started racing.

3. Who’s your current favourite F1 driver?

Max Verstappen. Charles in second place and of course Sebastian Vettel 💞

Honorable mention to Fernando Alonso, Lando and Oscar 💞

4. Is there a driver pairing or pairings you support? What made you attracted to that pairing in the first place?

Lestappen, that’s my main ship in the F1 fandom. I also like Hamilton x Vettel, Landoscar, Dany Ric x Lando, Seb x Kimi.

5. Do your parents, siblings or relatives have a favourite

Back in the day, my mom was a Schumacher girlie, she now likes Hamilton. Doesn’t care much for the teams tho.

6. Do you have any favourite races? Are there any that stand out to you the most?

Singapore 2023 is the first race i watched live, so it’s kinda special for me in a sentimental way. I liked Qatar 2023 a lot, I know most of the drivers had a terrible time but the dominance Max has in that race, being the only driver no to get out of track limits, ot was simply insane. Qatar 2023 was insane and Max’s performance was a master class in driving.

7. Do you have a favourite circuit? Can be from the past or from the current calendar.

I haven’t seen all circuits live, that’s why i can’t say for sure I do have one. Monaco is iconic but i find it underwhelming. Abu Dhabi is a pretty good one i’d say.

8. Have you ever been to an F1 race in real life? Feel free to tell us your experience going to one if you like.

No, I haven’t. I would love to. Especially the Brazilian GP since is the closest to my country.

9. Have you ever met an F1 driver in real life?

No, i haven’t. I would love to, especially Max, Charles or Lando.

10. Do you have a favourite F1 car? If so, what is it?

Rocky 🥰

I’m pretty basic so I my favorite car is Max’s RB19 because it got him an unbelievable season in 2023.

11. Do you have a favourite one win wonder?

Oscar. He may not be a GP winner, but at least he’s a race winner and I love that for him.

12. Do you have any favourite quotes from the F1 world? This can either be inspirational or hilarious.

“Everyone is a Ferrari fan. Even if they say they're not, they are Ferrari fans” - Sebastian Vettel.

I hate it so much because it’s so goddamn true 😭 I’m a Red Bull girlie through and through but I can’t escape the love for Ferrari 😭

“Enjoy the butterflies. Enjoy being naive. Enjoy the nerves, the pressure, people not knowing your name, all that stuff.” - Daniel Ricciardo 💞

No pressure tags @il-predestinato @lestappenforever @auroralightsinwinter 💫

[marieshyperf1xations]

Thank you for the tag, @lestappenforever 🧡

who is your favourite driver? Lando, hands down

do you have any other favourite drivers? Oscar, Charles, Carlos, Max, Alex and Fernando, in that order broadly

who is your least favourite driver? I don't really think about that a lot, but I don't particularly like Lance and I have some issues with Daniel and Checo as well, sometimes more, sometimes less

do you pull for drivers or do you like teams as well? Drivers over teams, for sure, but I mean, I like Lando and Oscar as well as Charles and Carlos, so supporting their respective teams makes sense I guess

if you like teams, what team do you pull for? As seen above, McLaren, but because of their driver lineup more than because they're McLaren. (and let's just say their Miami stunt didn't help). Other than that, I do have to agree with Seb, everyone is a Ferrari fan

how long have you been into f1? since last Christmas properly, but I've been generally exposed to it since I was a kid, my parents both work in journalism (cars/a bit of motorsport and red bull/a bit more motorsport respectively) and then even more when I met my now-boyfriend

how did you get into f1? see above. I've been exposed to it in homoeopathic doses for years but then I got covid last christmas (so self-quarantined, whoop whoop) and got really bored and decided to look into F1 a bit more. cue the most violently hyperfixating hyperfixation I've had since basically ever

do you enjoy fanfic/rpf? A bit too much, actually

how do you view new fans? I mean, I do consider myself one too, so hey, let's go on this journey together :D

if you could take over as team principal for any team, who would it be and why? I don't think I know enough for this, but my first thought was getting my meddling fingers into Red Bull and do something about the internal civil war they've got going on. Imo that Horner situation has the potential of blowing up the whole thing long term

are your friends and family into f1 as well? As said, my dad works in motorsports journalism, my mum too, to a lesser extent. My boyfriend is into F1 (a die-hard Fernando stan) and a couple we're really close friends with are both Charles/Ferrari fans. And I'm attempting (unsuccessfully so far) to get my uni friends into it

are you open to talking to other fans/making friends? 100%!

Tagging @blueberry-obsessed @ayrsontenna and everyone else who feels like it :)

🏎️💨 THE FORMULA 1 TAG GAME! 🏎️💨

thanks for the tag @vinvantae & thank you to @avida-heidia-5 for making it!

tagging (ignore it if you already did it): @vetteltea @ricc3rodeo @silverstonesainz @strawberrysainz @ofsaintandsinner @monzabee @lxclerc @a-distantdreamer @schuvries @thebearchives @formulaforza

1. who or what got you into F1?

first it was my dad who used to watch it when i was around 7-9, but then he stopped and i did too, i only followed a few ppl on social media to kinda keep up, and then my cousin started watching DTS two years ago and she talked about it to me and it made me wanna watch f1 again and my obsession came back even stronger.

2. who was the very first F1 driver you supported? do you support them now? have your opinions on them differed or stayed the same since then?

as a kid i supported sebastian and jenson, and tbh they are still amongst my top favourites. when i started watching f1 again two years ago, i first supported george and charles. charles is still one of my all time favourites, and i still support george just i guess not as much as back then.

3. who’s your current favourite F1 driver?

i can't choose just one, really. right now it's charles, oscar and danny, i think. why does it actually feel a bit wrong to only say three lol

rest under the cut!

4. is there a driver pairing or pairings you support? what made you attracted to that pairing in the first place?

multiple. i love max & daniel, charles & carlos (even their name combined is chaos, what can it be if not fun?), also carlos & lando. i think these pairings work(ed) really well in many aspects. oh and kimi & seb!

5. do your parents, siblings or relatives have a favourite team and/or favourite driver(s)?

well, my dad's been a jenson fan back in the day, now he's supporting lewis and fernando. my cousin is a big ferrari and charles fan!

6. do you have any favourite races? are there any that stand out to you the most?

singapore 23, and also monza 19, monza 20, monza 21. you just gotta love those. and australia 23 bc it was pure chaos lmao

7. do you have a favourite circuit? can be from the past or from the current calendar.

tbh i don't think i have just one fave. i have several that i like a bit more than others, like monaco, monza, baku, but i guess none exceptionally.

8. have you ever been to an F1 race in real life? feel free to tell us your experience going to one if you like.

nope, never. too broke for that sadly, coming from a broke ass country... i will hopefully attend the hungarian gp though as a volunteer this year!

9. have you ever met an F1 driver in real life?

again, never. (heartbreaking.) hopefully that will change at the prev mentioned hungarian gp this year!

10. do you have a favourite F1 car? if so, what is it?

again, i don't have a favourite, but there are many i like. for example, i liked the red bull fan designed livery in miami 23, and the red and white ferrari livery in las vegas 23.

11. do you have a favourite one win wonder?

pierre and george (and kubica lol gotta love the guy). i literally cried my eyes out when george won in 2022.

12. do you have any favourite quotes from the F1 world? this can either be inspirational or hilarious.

i have so many, serious and funny ones too (mainly funny though). but, if i have to choose, for funny i have to go with "nothing just an inchident on the race" or "what am i now? heavily depressed", and for serious, i will go with my top 3, which are "being second is to be the first of the ones who lose" & "to achieve anything, you must be prepared to dabble on the boundary of disaster" & "you must always strive to be the best, but you must never believe that you are."

but i also gotta mention "one week they love me, one week they hate me, both weeks i get paid" and "i've got balls but none of them are crystal" bc seb is just too funny and i love the guy too much.

and another worthy mention is "he won in spa, he wins in monza" bc i always get goosebumps when i hear it or even think about it.

f1 tag game :)

(Tag some people you'd like to get to know better!)

tagged by @rubywingsracing, ty!! sorry this is like almost 2 months late oopsies

Who is your favorite driver: osco <33

Do you have other favorite drivers: lando, logan, alex, charles, honestly most of them? they all compel me for different reasons

Who is your least favorite driver: i used to hate on carlos but, and i am being 100% serious, i started consuming carcar content and NOW i like him. it's the oscar effect idk what to tell you. so now i don't rlly have one lmao

Do you pull for the drivers or do you like the teams as well?: mostly just the drivers. if i like both drivers, then I'll support the team (like mclaren, or ferrari next year), but if the drivers move then i'll switch my allegiance i think

If you like teams what teams do you pull for: again, rn it's mostly mclaren. and williams, because i feel bad form them and i want them to succeed :( (and also my mom decided to be a williams fan so now i feel Obligated to support them)

How long have you been into F1: coming up on a year!! i got into it at some point last summer :)

What got you into F1: my sister's bf was watching DTS and got her into it, and she got me into it, and then our whole family started watching it and i was like "huh. i wonder if there's a fandom for this" and i went on ao3 and was like wOAH OKAYYY??? and here i am

Do you enjoy fanfic/RPF: well, i write it. so, yes, i kinda have to. admittedly, sometimes it sucks, especially rpf. but i think it's a healthy part of any fandom.

How do you view new fans: I mean i'd still consider myself to be one, so... i think this question is not for me. that being said, the fans (in any fandom w rpf) that try to bring shipping/rpf/etc to the attention of the teams/ppl involved are not valid and need to like. not do that. like we don't claim them ok

If you could take over as team principal for any team, who would it be and why? eeeee i think i wouldn't be very good at the job in general, but if i had to pick then maybe williams just bc i've got that I Can Fix Him mentality, or mclaren just so i can meet my faves!!

Are your friends and family into F1?: yes!!! my whole fam is into it (we may or may not be seeing a race this seasonnn.... !!!), and i've now gotten several of my friends into it as well!

Are you open to talking to other fans/making friends?: 100%!!! PLEASE CHAT W ME!! DM ME!! SEND ME AN ASK!! i absolutely love making new friends!!!!!!!!!!!!

🏎️💨 THE FORMULA 1 TAG GAME! 🏎️💨:

thanks for tagging me @bohnsky :D

1. Who or what got you into F1? first of all, one of my friends has been watching it since summer break of the 2022 season and i was always like "omg i don't get it why would anyone watch f1" (yeah🤡) but more so, in april when i should have been studying for my a-levels and i was procrastinating, i was looking for something to distract myself with. so i went on youtube and got recommended some youtube videos by the official f1 channel like "11 times ___ happened", stuff like that. i started watching those, then i watched some funny driver moments compilations and once i was done with my first few exams, the miami gp came up and i decided to watch it bc why not. ever since i'm deep in the hole lol

2. Who was the very first F1 driver you supported? Do you support them now? Have your opinions on them differed or stayed the same since then? the first one who stood out to me was charles leclerc bc i thought he was funny in the yt videos and i'd also seen some really cool racing moments of him so i was like "slay i like him" and that hasn't really changed, just that ,over time, more and more drivers have been 'added to my collection' lmao if anything, i admire him even more now bc he never gives up and stays with ferrari and his sheer optimism is something i look up to a lot

3. Who’s your current favourite F1 driver? it's still charles lkdghslkghs but alex and oscar are really close to being number 1 too

4. Is there a driver pairing or pairings you support? What made you attracted to that pairing in the first place? this is such a basic tumblr answer, but lestappen are just that pairing kslghsklghsg like the narrative are you kidding me? but to make sure, disclaimer: obviously i don't ship real people, this is all in the realm of friendship and stuff yk

5. Do your parents, siblings or relatives have a favourite team and/or favourite driver(s)? nope they don't watch f1 unfortunately, my mum hates it even💀

6. Do you have any favourite races? Are there any that stand out to you the most? the last season is such a blur, i can't remember singular races that much laksghkslghks maybe singapore bc that was the only non rb win and a ferrari win at that? but i don't think there's THE favourite race for me yet. i have to watch more

7. Do you have a favourite circuit? Can be from the past or from the current calendar. bc i haven't watched a full season yet i can't say honestly, and again the last season is such a blur, i can't remember singular circuits that stood out to me. only time will tell

8. Have you ever been to an F1 race in real life? Feel free to tell us your experience going to one if you like. (un)fortunately not, i also don't think it would be the best environment for me bc there's way too many people, all these loud noises, drunk people, it would basically be sensory hell pahaha

9. Have you ever met an F1 driver in real life? noo i haven't and i feel like i don't need to

10. Do you have a favourite F1 car? If so, what is it? nooo i don't think so, again, i'm pretty new to f1 so i need to look into that

11. Do you have a favourite one win wonder? same answer as above, i can only think of recent people with one win only, but who knows, maybe they're gonna win again?

12. Do you have any favourite quotes from the F1 world? This can either be inspirational or hilarious. omg i love all the funny quotes there are so many😭 the whole "do you have pubes yet?" exchange between danny ric and lando is so hilarious to me it never fails to make me laugh

the classic "nothing just an inchident" by charles

"Nooo Michael, NO NO Michael! That was so not right!"

every single "Pierreeeee Gaslyyyy"

"I am stupid. I am stupid" poor charles this is so relatable

"once again, most unsupportive driver on the grid" nico "suck my balls mate" kevin this one makes me laugh, especially bc now they're teammates who seemingly get along pahahaha i could go on forever honestly i'm sure i haven't even added half of my favourites bc i don't remember them right now😭😭

[bradleybeachbabe]

thank you for tagging me!! @nowimyurdaisy

Pierre stares at him incredulously. "Let me just get this straight. You, Charles Marc Herve Perceval Leclerc, F1's PR princess, purposely swore in a press conference just so you could do community service with Max?" Oscar looks up from where he is sitting on the couch. "I doubt there is anything straight about that." Charles winces and Pierre dissolves into a pile of laughter and French Alpine merchandise. "That's not very necessary. You know, my plan worked! We get to do a special driver stage together this Friday in Brazil and have to answer questions submitted by the fans. I sent you guys the list of questions already, they'll be picked randomly." Pierre gets up from where he was lying on the floor, and turns towards Charles with a serious expression. "Calamar. Your plan was the stupidest thing I've seen since Ferrari's strategy in Hungary 2022, and that's saying something." He smiles more fondly, and pats Charles on the shoulder. "But, I will support you. Even if you are more delusional than your fans." The moment is interrupted by Oscar yelling a question at them. "Charles, did you know that one of the questions is asking you if you swore on purpose?"

📰Campaign Update: October 27th📰

$20,056/$80,000 raised!

$59,944 to go !

Hello everyone, I want to say thank you to everyone who's helped support this campaign so far. today we reached the initial $20,000 goal set for Khawla and her family, I'm so happy we've made it this far!

due to the continuing struggle in Gaza and the prices of things only getting higher with how little aid has come into the territory, the target has been raised to $80,000 for continued survival, and hopefully a cushion of money to fall on should evacuating once again become available.

I hope, again, that we can reach this goal as soon as possible, and you might support, or continue to support, the campaign as much as possible. thank you, and lets keep the support going!

please consider donating $5, $10, or $20 to help keep moving the fundraiser along further! And reblog/share the campaign so that others who can donate may see it!

[wisteriagoesvroom]

For the trope mashup thing whatever: arranged marriage and neighbors 👀 - CX

again not one i would've picked but thank you for prompting it !! this also uh, got longer than i thought.

(from the prompts mash up - still taking submissions)

--------

“What do you mean your visa’s running out?” Lando asks.

“I’m Australian. Not a magician. Commonwealth only gets you so far.” 

“I thought you were here on a scholarship.”

“Well. Yeah. But scholarships stop. Once you graduate.” 

Lando toes the doorway rug. It feels weird to be talking about this in the middle of the hallway, though the only other person who would be listening might be Mrs. Kapoor, and half the time it’s only because she sticks her head out to ask if Lando or Oscar would take one of her mystery vegan curries. Lando is neither a huge fan of vegan food nor curry, and he trusts Oscar’s word for it that it’s good because they eat it while playing Gran Turismo at Lando’s place. But Lando always accepts the curries nonetheless, because his parents raised him to be polite, and he wasn’t raised in a barn. (Even if he technically grew up in converted farmhouse in the countryside, but that was besides the point.)  Either way, this is slipping away from him much quicker than he’d anticipated. Late night hangouts, dropping mail and post-it notes, text messages about the community garden. The most inane smalltalk about things big and small from the origins of moths to whether aliens were out there or just chose to ignore the +44 area code. Oscar always laughing in the right places when Lando regales him about tales of his terrible online dating stories, Oscar always picking the pickles out of the roast beef bagels before he passes one to Lando. The corner of Lando’s sofa that Lando has started to think of as Oscar’s because he’s there so often, reading one of his books or trying to speedread a JSTOR article about the lifecycle of urban pathogens while Lando worked on artwork for his upcoming store launch. 

Lando’s synapses are firing too fast. His brain did that most days, and that was what made him exceedingly good at his job, and today in particular - it doesn’t feel like there’s any logical way out. 

Lando remembers that movie they watched once though. As a joke. The one they both pretended not to enjoy, with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds in Alaska. The one they watched when Oscar sat next to Lando on the sofa, and they both pretended the entire night that their knees weren’t touching. 

His therapist said he had a tendency to get ahead of himself when under stress. But it’s a joke, it’s not serious, there’s no way—

“We could just like, get married.”

Lando shoves his hands in his pockets. That came out way more calm and cooler than he thought it actually would.  And to his credit, Oscar doesn’t drop his mug of tea. Lando knows that’s his favourite one, because Lando got it for him, and it says Science is my superpower. Oscar does, however, slightly shift his grip on the mug.

“I feel like it’d be complicated to explain to my mum why I randomly married my upstairs neighbour?” 

“But it’s not a no.”

Oscar tilts his head. There’s a glimmer of something focused, maybe even hungry in his eyes. Oscar gets like that when his mind turns, when he’s working on an especially difficult thesis, when the pieces are forming and he can lock into the crucial details.

Lando is a little alarmed at how much he already recognises it, and how much more often he’d like to draw that reaction out. 

“If the facts don’t fit the theory, then reexamine the facts. Right?” Oscar says.

And Lando is there, in the doorway. Conscious that Mrs Kapoor might’ve heard everything, but all the more conscious that there’s a hammering in his heart that he can’t tell is nervousness, or anticipation. 

What’s the stress limit for a joke you’re probably already pushing too far? Lando thinks.

He isn’t sure.

But maybe it’s a thesis worth testing out.

(and ok maybe i cheated a little on arranged marriage but i think this is the closest i could get with the contemporary context. thank you @cx-boxbox for the prompt <3)
