#for getting to f1 with different teams

[idontshitpostbuttheolympicpark]

Wow it's so amazing to see the success of the Alpine/Renault continue. Jack Doohan joins drivers like Heikki Kovalainen and Romain Grosjean to graduate to the f1 team.

It's such a shame that drivers like Fabio Carbone, Carlo van Dam, Eric Salignon, Danny Watts, Jose Maria Lopez, Loic Duval, Lucas di Grassi, Ben Hanley, Dani Clos, Nelson Panciatici, Davide Valsecchi, Jan Charouz, Ho-Pin Tung, Fairuz Fauzy, Louis Deletraz, Kevin Jorg, Oliver Rowland, Sun Yueyang, Jarno Opmeer, Sacha Fenestraz, Max Fewtrell, Christian Lungaard, Arthur Rougier, Leonardo Lorandi, Yifei Ye, Caio Collet, and Olli Caldwell never got their chance in f1.

(I'm really happy Jack has got the Alpine seat but find it very funny he's really the first junior they've graduated to f1 since Grosjean when they have basically the biggest academy)

speaking of the Italian red teams, the juxtaposition between ducati and ferrari’s teammate pairings is gonna be so interesting to watch play out. because both teams have their “homegrown” boy who has, for all intents and purposes, made this HIS team, and then boom here comes this 7/8 time world champion, widely argued to be the best ever, who was once the team’s public enemy #1 (and also potentially the nation of Ita—), waltzing into HIS house accompanied by fanfare fit for a king.

Pecco is already out here proudly standing atop that gentleman hill he’s willing to die on. all while paul revere-ing that Marc can, has, and will be “the ungentleman” in battles. we all know him. the morally corrupt faye resnick marc marquez. Despite that. You can tell they’re trying. They’re cordial. Behaving for their Ducati daddies. Things will be awkwardly ok…until they aren’t.

Ferrari on the other hand? Already looks great. PR is great. Lewis is showing off the world’s most cinematic first day of work. Ferrari’s golden boy, Charles, is presumably chilling inside his gilded cage (the cage has no lock)(he put himself in the cage and refuses to get out). There doesn’t seem to be any awkwardness. We all know the “Helloooooo Lewis!” that shook the world. i mean, Lewis isn’t gonna shack up with him in that cage, but they’re in pretty good place. Much more outwardly stable than Marc and Pecco. Everyone say thank you Silvia. Lewis and Fred are going bald4bald just like Marc and Gigi are going eyebrow4eyebrow.

but unlike Pecco and Charles, Marc and Lewis were forged in fire. presumably fire straight from hell. experiencing the horrors of being Fernando’s teammate. as a rookie. and having the audacity to beat him. while BALD. And then Marc well. yeah. I’ll leave it at that. Builds character. Makes them certifiable psychopaths. Point is. they’ve got that dawg in them. marc’s dog is a weiner dog, but size doesn’t matter. lewis cosplays his dog on instagram. like I said. psychopath. Sure, Pecco and Charles are crazy, but I’ve yet to see them hit a level of crazy that registers on Lewis and Marc’s crazy bitch Richter scale.

All of that to say, I hope they all bite each other’s dicks off. amen? amen.

I think people who talk about F1 Academy being a regressive way of segregating racing based on gender are really missing the point of it all. One of the biggest roadblocks for young drivers trying to find sponsors and public support is purely name recognition. If nobody knows who you are, how will you make it up that ladder? Prema, for example, is excellent at advertising its drivers via social media, which gives them a fanbase and drives up "demand" for them. It's thus more profitable for sponsors and teams to pick up those drivers. F1 Academy is doing the exact same thing but specifically for female drivers. Because of F1 Academy, these women are more well-known than the majority of F3 drivers despite competing at what is technically a lower level. And that makes them more appealing to teams so that they can move up in categories! F1 Academy is all about visibility for these young women, and almost anything else is extra.

ifeel like im a common marci anon but all i do is ask about his freak life. all my f1 knowledge is brocedes porn. anyways. how does marci deal w the two broken wrists like he's such an awkward guy so would he be fussed over by medical staff. and the team. and the media. he can't wank if he has two broken wrists eihter oh no

common marci anon the honor is mine 🙏 thank you for your service 😁❣️ also brocedes porn is all the knowledge you need

team and medical staff he doesnt mind, thats good attention. media would be like boo tomato tomato and shit on him and be weird but when is media not at least a bit weird...

he tries not to be too much of a baby about the situation and does everything he can to get his hands back in order but. is also a baby about it lol. stages of grief circles of hell. maybe some friends will lend a hand

f1 twitter is convinced mclaren forced daniel at gunpoint to not adapt to the car and flop 🤨 the train of logic behind "yes we want the driver we paid tens of millions for to Not perform well so we fall behind a tightly contested constructors battle for 4th vs alpine which is a 30 million $ difference" make it make senseeeeee

For Anne and Wentworth, I've sometimes mused about what their jobs would be in the present day. Look, I'm doing this just for a bit of fun — I'm aware Anne could be a trust fund baby (but lets pretend her dad really is plowing through the family money, worse than his regency counterpart, and she chooses the work life - thus not having to bear her family that much as well). Will that mean it would be almost impossible for the actual story to play out? Yes, but I'm ignoring that. Let's just say this post is more about their characters (i'm being annoyingly selective about this).

I have quite a few jobs for Anne. The way she seamlessly handles the issues between the Musgroves? That's a diplomat right there. She'd be the ambassador that people genuinely like and are eager to work with. This role I feel like she'd like least, but don't many people utilise their skills in jobs that they're otherwise not fond of because it means having a financially stable and independent life? I will consider the fact that the issues are not completely resolved though (I think)...

Her nurturing side? The fact that kids are so comfortable around her and gravitate towards her, even in the little Walter way, is so evident of her being an early years/primary school teacher.

Her interest in poetry and prose (or should I say prose and poetry)? May I present to you: Professor Anne Elliot in the department of English.

Ooh, a concert pianist. Travelling around the world with her orchestra and being a renowned pianist! The renowned part is important, she deserves all the love.

She has quite a few options laid out for her as you can see. The jobs I mentioned above are quite broad terms, to varying degrees (apart from the last one I guess), i.e would she focus on eighteenth century works or would she delve into contemporary poetry? But that'll be a lot of writing that I'll end up unnecessarily fretting over in terms of correctness — also, I'm not smart enough for all that.

And Frederick would be an F1 driver—no this has absolutely NOTHING to do with my interest in F1, hate that damn sport anyway.

how do you cope with this carlos-hate between the lines here on tumblr? btw love following you for your good vibes and funny tags

Hello, sweet anon ❤️

Tbh some days are harder than others! I like to think I’ve gotten a lot better at simply not logging on when I expect there to be those sorts of posts - also making sure that the blogs I follow are the only ones I wanna see on my tl. Sometimes, like earlier today, I just channel my energy into making gifs and only come on tumblr to post those and leave lol

Obviously, I still see stuff if I go looking in his tag or something slips thru the cracks, and some days I write out a whole rant and then delete it (it can be v therapeutic just to type your feelings, even if you never post it). Also having someone/people who I can talk to about it can be pretty helpful. Or even revisiting a Carlos thing that makes you smile! I’ll sometimes just go thru his tag on my blog and inevitably something silly he did will make me laugh and I feel (mostly) better 😂❤️

Other than that, I think just recognizing that everyone’s opinions are just that - opinions! Pro sports is one of the areas in life that people can be the most opinionated/vocal/vitriolic about online but it’s bc it inspires such passion in people. Personally, I like to channel my passion for f1 in positive ways - it makes me a happier person and it’s the whole ‘be the change you want to see’ in the fandom philosophy haha

I hope some of this is helpful ❤️ you can always come to me if you’re needing someone to talk to or wanna just toss something in my inbox to take your mind off of things!
