Fernando having a DNF of his 400th race feels poetic 😭

a rather tired summary of my birthday gp (it's 4am the next day for me so...):

[p.s. i missed last week's because it was at 3am and i had work at like 9am 💀]

• wow this is kind of a terrible home race for perez 😭 it's so bad i genuinely feel sorry for him cos this is just not it at all

• lap one crash oh real racing is so back....no but genuinely did someone curse this gp bc i feel like we've had 10 red flags/crashes already???

• speaking of crashes it's a miracle they got george russell's car ready in time for qualis like that thing was BANGED UP

• being a yuki fan ain't for the weak like wdym top 3 in fp then out in q2 of quali and THEN a dnf?? i swear he's had more dnfs than anybody this season and it's not even his fault?? everybody and their mums crashing into him 😭

• anyways kudos to piastri from making it into the points after starting from hell alongside perez because of, you guessed it, yet Another collision/crash....maybe mexico should have hired a team of religious leaders to bless the track 💀

• the saubers managed p14 and p15 hey those are MY goats!!! (that team is in such a bad state i cheer every time they aren't last and im not even a fan)

• on the topic of goats....haas consistently being in the points was sure as hell not on my bingo but hey i'll take it?? good for them like they're driving a shitbox and a half but pulling that damn thing UP

• enough yapping onto the big issues like that 20s penalty??? that's actually kind of ridiculous like we used to have a 5s penalty for that EXACT thing why is it suddenly 10s and stacked.....fia really are just doing whatever they want i swear

• ferrari. SCUDERIA FERRARI. why did they make charles hold back?? you do that when you're very comfortably ahead and think you can easily hold on to ur positions not when a mclaren ROCKETSHIP is about to chase ur ass down?? girl u could have gotten a 1-2 two weeks in a row!!

• in other news rip to fernando alonso like dnf-ing on ur 400th race start and not even bc of racing but due to ur CAR is mental did somebody sabotage that thing 😭

• the rookies are kind of funny like liam lawson just picking up enemies left right and center omfg i support track terrorism all the time but the middle finger wasn't necessary tbh.....and colapinto oh my god seriously someone get him in a seat for next year he's so funny and delivering like come ON.

• at this point i sound like a college student trying to extend their essay and hit a word count but i genuinely did NOT realize gasly was somehow in the points until the end?? when tf did any of that happen. when did he start p8 am i just blind af??

• also already covered this separately but seeing the 2 mercedes suddenly fight had me yelling at my screen like GUYS WE HAVE BIGGER ENEMIES AHEAD WYDDD we can't have a british civil war!!!! 🤡

tldr; so many red flags and collisions i felt like i was going insane. also i am never staying up for another race again the latest i'm going is midnight and that's it 💀💀 maybe i'm growing old or something but im not built for late night watching help

Race week. Mexico. Predictions. Let's gooooooo!

(Can't belive it's Thursday and I still haven't posted this. Where has the week gone?)

No nuance top 3

1. Carlos

2. Max

3. Charles

Silliness below!

🚗🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎

Realistic

- Charles Leclerc and insahalla says Ferrari. But what's this? Carlos Sainz with the steel chair! Turn 1, lap 1.

- Turn 1 carnage in the midfield. One of the rookies divebombs probably. Safety car 🚗🏎🏎🏎🏎

- Max not pushing too hard to try and avoid a DNF so is happy (well, not "happy" but ygwim) to stay in position as long as Lando is behind him.

- Mercedes stop emotionally abusing your drivers and making inconsistent, but mostly bad, calls. challenge level - impossible.

Unrealistic

- Lestappen wheel to wheel, lap after lap, hot and heavy, sexy racing. Carlos creates a pit stop gap while they squabble with each other. Lando is also there in the cuck chair P4. (I moved this one back and forth from realistic to unrealistic so many times. I think I just really want it to happen haha)

- Fernando points finish for his 400th. (Sorry queen I wanted to put this in realistic but that Aston is 🤮)

- Williams (probs Franco but rooting for Alex too) qualify high and being hard to catch on straights get their best finish of the season but gain no places.

- Checo top 5. I am a known Checo h8r but I always wish drivers well at their home race and he should have the full upgrade package this week so we'll see. (He's still a fucking embarrassment but what are you gonna do 🤷‍♀️)

Unhinged

- Alonso and Lawson crash each other out and then spit fire in their interviews.

- Max DNF, Lando wins. The championship chase stays alive for one more round.

- Fuck it. Franco podium. 🏆 If that's what it takes to get him a seat at this point I do not care

mexican gp 2024:

- 5 seconds and we have a sc (yuki :()

- fernando dnf on his 400th gp (he dnf'd on his 300th and 200th too)

- whatever that start was (or to quote checo "nope it was a great start")

- liam is out to get on every grandpa's (/j) nerves on that grid and i support that /j

- the mercedes fighting each other was quite entertaining, it was nice watching them both!!!

- HAASPOINTS 🦅

- max refusing to take the turn (the second one was NASTY) but i think lando has gotten better at anticipating that (lost so much time :/)

- i audibly gasped when charles lost the car and that save... wau...

- oscar was stuck in that train for so long 😭 my guy was PISSED

- charles swearing during the interview and immediately going OH NO (the photo of him talking with personel was SO funny he looks like he's getting chastised at school)

- hey red bull. is torro rosso, alpha tauri, viva cash app rb whatever a sister team or not 🤨 wanna decide?

- welcome back singapore 2023 and the power of friendship (although mexico 2024 lacked a very important thing which is keeping lando within drs distance "on purpose")

- something something, the forbidden mclaren-ferrari romance between fred and brown, something something

- lando still doesn't know how many races are left lmao
