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)
#special mentions to#Tiago Monteiro#Giedo van der Garde#Charles Pic#Jack Aitken#Zhou Guanyu#Oscar Piastri#for getting to f1 with different teams#also obviously f1 isn't the be all and end all of motorsport#loads of these drivers are so successful#have more success than a lot of f1 drivers#but it's very funny when the academy has the express purpose for bringing drivers to f1#and they just#don't#f1#formula 1#alpine#alpine f1#jack doohan

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.
#it really pisses me off when people talk about how f1a is just taking women and putting them in a different racing category. NO!!!!!#it is raising awareness! it is absolutely a net positive because again. being a known figure is how you get sponsorships#it's how you get hired#the creators of f1a knew exactly what they were doing and the widespread support of it by the f1 teams themselves is integral to its succes#again lots of the teams had literally never had a female academy driver before. and now they do! because of f1a!#and susie wolff knows what she's doing. like cmon.#f1 academy#f1a#susie wolff#abbi pulling#doriane pin#tina hausmann#prema racing#chloe chambers#bianca bustamante#aurelia nobels#maya weug#lia block#can you tell i had an argument with somebody about this just now.#mine

“It’s still Verstappen making a difference”
Yeah and you best remember that🧡
#he is the only reason rbr have been winning these last three years#don’t care at all what anyone has to say#max truly makes all the difference and doesn’t let himself get effected by others#also the team are fab but it’s Max who is making that car fast#rambles#max verstappen#f1#formula 1#red bull racing

ngl this mclaren situation is incredibly interesting.
it's messy because they know they might not be fighting for wdc and wcc next season like they are now, so getting both or at least one this season is important to the team, but if they completely favor norris (who has been with them for years, contract ends in ~27) and demand oscar to be the second driver and give up his wins so that his teammate could win, they're compromising the "future of their team" like stella has said oscar is, and his contract ends in 26. oscar's definitely on many teams' radar. but not backing up the driver who has been with the team for so long, who you considered the future and no1 at least at the start of the season, it's a real shitty thing to do, and will cost the relationship with norris, who i'm sure other teams would like to have as well.
#2026 is the next silly season btw#only max norris and ocon have contracts till 27 and 28#all of this is their own doing. they knew oscar was good and had so much potential when they swiped him from alpine BUT#doubt they expected him to get this good this fast (but thats generational talent)#f1#ik stella said they're not gonna have osc give up wins but........#...thats a whole 'nother post#oscar piastri#its so interesting to watch lmao and i thank god its not my team#also crazy how the tp and ceo have different definitions of the future of the team btw

2023 Bahrain Grand Prix - Fernando Alonso(ft. Max Verstappen, Checo Perez & Lance Stroll)(my personal post-race highlights)
#GUYS YOU KNOW I JUST THOUGHT OF THE PERFECT SONG FOR THIS OCCASION#'Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic' - The Police(like magic alonso you get it you get it??)#pls go listen to it bcs its what I listened to while making this post bcs it rly reminds me of nando hehehe#i def cried a bit while watching this i was just so happy for everything both he and the team have achieved#and not to harp on abt 2005 but ig its crazy for me to have been spending a lot of time watching his wdc season#and then start the new season and see him up in p3!! its just so cool and it makes me a bit emo but in a good way ofc!#also sry if this is a little late! i was changing up w how i wanted to go abt doing this and it took longer than i wouldve liked#i think the most interesting thing abt doing this was just how different the post-race proceedings are compared to 2005#fernando alonso#2023 bahrain grand prix#we do a little bit of f1#fa14#checo perez#max verstappen#(2023: 1/23 races watched)#f1#formula 1#formula one#2023 bahrain gp#lance stroll

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
#I'm so confused???? did we read the same interview??? the one where Daniel says the problem was him????#the DRpapaya relationship is one that failed. it doesn't mean DR isn't a 8 time race winner but it also doesn't mean mclaren sabotaged him#getting into the territory of checo fans who claim redbull gave 2 different cars to max and checo#it's against the best interests of any f1 team if one driver is coming p5 and the other is in p13#the other conspiracy is mclaren forced DR to flop so lando looks better by comparison#and if that's true then why is oscar basically on Lando's ass 😭😭😭 why aren't they sabotaging The Rookie who is making lando look like a foo

From: Alpine Press Release
#just posting this because why not...#okay...I have my reasons. some comments on twitter annoyed me...#Alpine really planned different strategies for their drivers#depending on how the race was going to unfold at least they would have a driver in the mix to get into the points...#they ain't favouring one driver over the other 🙄#esteban ocon#eo31#pierre gasly#pg10#alpine f1 team

I've had a stupid merlin au idea stuck in my head for days now and I know I'll never get around to writing it the way I want it written but I kinda wanna try anyway even though I am 100% of the target audience
#it's an f1 au btw#so I feel like a merlin x f1 crossovee is very niche#but I just have this idea in my head pf arthur as a driver and merlin as an aerodynamics engineer#and arthur starts off as an ass (as per usual) and thinks that he's god's gift to motorsports and all his good results are because of his#skill and bad results are because the engineers fucked up bad#and lowkey people don't like working with him BUT uther is giving red bull absolute mega bucks to keep him and he is actually a fantastic#driver in his own right. deep down he's not super satisfied though because people keep saying he's only winning because of his car#and his dad's money which is why he's a grumpy ass to most people and tries to claim good races as his and blame engineers for bad ones#also because uther probably taught him that attitude#in this au I think either Newey didn't exist but rb dominance still did or this is far enough after Newey that I haven't got arthur blaming#him for a bad car because y'all I can't do that it's too unrealistic no one would believe it#(yes I am aware that max and checo are currently complaining about a car newey made but shh)#anyway he secretly goes to sign for like. williams or something who currently suck so he can prove to himself and everyone else that he IS#a good driver and can drive a shit car well. he's admittedly doing fairly well in a tractor when merlin joins the team as the new head#of aerodynamics and arthur is giving him shit because he's so young and how could he possibly fix this shitbox#then Merlin's first big upgrade packages comes and makes a pretty big difference and arthur has to rethink a bit#the next season is the first car that merlin was actually mostly in charge of and it's a massive difference and suddenly it's competitive#meanwhile merlin's pov is that arthur sucks ass and he hates him but he keeps being told that arthur is his destiny#he refuses to believe this though and even though he has magic he point blank refuses to use it on anything that would help arthur even#somewhat indirectly like using it to help design the car. his official reasoning to people who know about his magic is that the fia wouldn't#allow it but personally he also just wants to say a fuck you to fate because he doesn't like arthur. but then they get to know each other#more and he realises that maybe arthur isn't that bad and they become friends like in the show#arthur is leading the championship (pendragon dominance could bore fans) but then he has a big crash and is out for a couple of races#by all accounts it's a miracle he's even alive (it's the only time merlin has used his magic for arthur). when he comes back he still has a#chance at wdc but it's way tighter than it was. maybe there's only a few races to go. he gets some podiums and his competition has some bad#luck (genuine not merlin) or something but then at like the second last race he can guarantee wdc if he wins regardless of where anyone else#places. he does it and merlin is the one to go on the podium with him on behalf of the team (maybe not for winning wdc but just his first#win after the crash idk) and it's this big emptional moment#also morgana was as good as arthur as kids but uther only supported arthur so now she works for sky or someone in a role like nico rosberg

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!
#don’t get me wrong- I also love my mutuals who get spicy on their blogs 😂#we need those ppl too but it’s just not how I tend to deal with these situations#I’m probs a classic conflict avoider/people pleaser#but this is just how I deal with it - everyone’s different!#I will also throw in here that I used to get reeaallly upset growing up if my hometown’s football team lost a game#I’ve grown a lot over the years and idk how but I just put Way less stock into sports now#I’m still very passionate (obviously - I run a whole f1 blog 😅)#but I don’t get anywhere near as upset about things going wrong as I used to#maybe it just comes with time but I find myself enjoying sports more now bc the fate of my team does not affect my entire day/week anymore#I’m not gonna question it - just take it as a mental health win and run with it 🤷🏻♀️👏🏻#anon#ask

RYAN REYNOLDS AND ROB MCELHENNEY HAVE BOUGHT (a 24% stake in) ALPINE?!
#f1#oh god Pierre Gasly is about to get even more memey isn’t he?!#in fairness they’ve done great things for Wrexham#but an F1 team is a whole different deal?#very interesting that Laurent’s quote speaks about how this will raise their media profile

From the mind that brought you:
Comes another anime/motorsport crossover:
#LMAOOO I say brought you like I ever wrote the thing but I'm gonna get on it#I have 2 parts of a 4 part series to write and then I'm on these#It might surprise you but they are completely different premises#AoT focuses much more on the drivers and the on track stuff#OP focuses on the behind the scenes - the mechanics / PAs / Race Engineers / S/Os etc#I was going to make it F1/Indy BUT for OP it made much more sense to have the Endurance racing happen with the teams being the crews.#Especially as its 2/3/4 person per car!#You also know I'm throwing all my ships at this#And I blame this entirely on the Water 7 arc!#The AoT one was so fun to put together - cars/teams/numbers/liveries/nationalities#AoT is set on our Earth. One Piece will *kinda* be set in the canon universe... or at least the places will be named after canon places!#rambling is fun!

Prev reblog, imagine if they all fought for Fernando's love 🥹
Flavio who devoted and then killed his career in service to Fernando, Carlos Sr. who Fernando has looked up to and known for 20+ years, Lawrence who can provide for Fernando with his deep pockets, Adrian who has the potential to build Fernando a winning car
Who will he pick!!!! I vote Carlos Sr 🤭🤭
#uhhhhh hmm what are the tropes#idk i feel like both flavio and lawrence have a sugar daddy vibe but in different ways#like lawrence is a straight up sugar daddy literally putting so much money towards fernando#Flavio was/is more like offering a path on which Fernando can succeed#adrian is hmmmm yeah idk if theres any trope for that hsjfjf#like. to me i feel like newey was drawn to aston for several reasons#1. money obv 2. location/ease 3. the potential to build a midfield team into a top team#HOWEVER 4. finally getting to work with Fernando which he's said he'd like to do#so the trope is like. getting to give him a redemption arc#(<- i wanna cry cause ive seen Nando say he probably won't stay long enough to reap the rewards UGH)#anyhow#carlos sr is obviously longtime friends to lovers#aaagghhh even apart from joke shipping i really think their relationship is so cute 😭#there were so many moments in his show that made me 🥹 like wow they're such good friends#anyways. having many old man yaoi thoughts lately......#i think its so funny how we consider him to be the old man of f1#but he has like at least 4 actual old men who hes sedu- i mean befriended and works with of course#time to make ship names everybody!!!#(i is why he was nicer to seb after he came back. cause he was an old man! dhfjkf in the context of f1)#fernando alonso#f1#catie.rambling.txt

in an older post (Top 5 Brocedes moments) you said that back in 2008 Nico had a favourite Brit and it (probably) wasn’t Lewis and Lewis had a favourite German (Adrian Sutil) but it (probably) wasn’t Nico. This got me wondering who was the favourite Brit and why that person? Sorry for bringing this up but the question won’t leave my head.
Hi! I’m going to be honest I actually cannot for the life of me remember who I was talking about in that post but if I had to guess I think the favorite Brit (in terms of people on the grid/associated with f1) might have been Jenson? Just based on what I could tell from the research I had done (doing activities off-the-grid together, general camaraderie)… I think I said that based more on how the media would sometimes play up the friendship between Nico and Lewis and how their level of friendship during that period in time (pre-Mercedes) actually (probably) wasn’t as best-friends-since-childhood as ppl make it out to seem…
#they were definitely close friends#but idk#they had other people#and drivers#that they were close with as well in my opinion#backed by zero sources but like that’s the vibe I got after reading like 1037382 articles about them#also I still need to replace the broken links in that post WHOOPS sorry#asks#they were childhood besties who bonded over a unique shared experience which birthed a naive dream#(unrelated but I am of the opinion that Lewis was wayyyyyy more into that driving-for-the-same-team thing than Nico but I digress)#and whenever they were together as adults in f1 (pre-merc) they had that same easy familiarity with each other#but at the same time it was different… bc it was f1 and also their career trajectories were a bit different#(Nico getting there first but struggling to shine in a weak car#Lewis almost winning the championship in his first year)#I know some ppl are like sensitive to depicting Nico as jealous of Lewis but like I doubt he didn’t feel some sort of way about it#just a little#so I think yes they weren’t really as close as some ppl think in the pre-merc years#and Nico befriended other ppl on the grid#maybe in part to distance himself from the narrative of ‘Lewis Hamilton’s childhood friend’#and vice bersa for Lewis too#again this has zero sources I am just rambling random brocedes thoughts lol#sorry this went wayyyyy off the rails from your original ask

this could be a hot take but i like that ferrari is going in their own direction still rather than copying redbull
#i mean. i understand why ppl would not want them to obviously#however. i always think its important to try different things even if it means you fail bc thats how you learn#maybe if i was a ferrari girl i would have a different opinion after this year but they could find something that works better for them yk!#bc just following the innovations of others is not enough to get ahead you have to be ready to take it a different direction#like redbull wasnt copying anyone else they were trying to make the best car for their team#(aka max. bc that car is especially suited for his driving style)#form1#f1#ferrari
