#for p6 we have just. nothing. absolutely nothing.

[orcelito]

OH THO what if in persona 6 they did smth similar to what tales of xillia did? Aka you have two protagonists, one boy and one girl, and u can choose who you play. Both remain & both are important to the story, but bc you follow different protags there are some parts where it diverges and you get little snippets of story just from their pov

Raising this possibility bc I've never actually played that much of p3p female protag Despite p3p on psp being where I experienced persona 3 (back in year 2014 lmao) bc i love Minato so much it's hard to play minako bc it means I won't see him 😭 if I got to see him too it'd make it easier to play a game with her

Oh also Pokémon does this. Like basically every Pokémon game. Whoops that's probably a more culturally relevant comparison. Oh well I cant help being a tales bitch

Right? p6

part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5

summary: Y/N is a photographer for McLaren F1 team. Hard working, goal oriented professional who would never put her career in jeopardy for some stupid crush, right?

warning: smut

Life in formula was a fast one. But alas, there was finally a moment where a date had been set for your first official date indoors. Two week break between races provided a nice opportunity.

You were based in the UK, but one little Monaco trip didn't hurt anyone, right? No hotel room. Zero back up plan. It was strange how complicated it was for you two to get a moment for each other. You were not even sure what make of this little crush. Whatever. In the end it was a nice little trip.

So there you were, standing in front of an address he shared with you - casual elegant outfit, newly done hair and just a little bit of more than you got to do during busy work days. It was more for yourself than for Lando really. Everyone likes to feel like the it girl sometimes, right? This whole affair was a nice detour from the goal oriented life you lead every day.

There you were, standing in the open kitchen in Lando Norris's apartment. You could care less where the two of you were - as long as there we no prying eyes and you could look at each other with lust in your eyes without needing to hide anything. Teenage hormones overtaking the adult brains within milliseconds.

The looks. The random touches. The abnormal proximity. Nobody to hide from.

He ordered take out, as cooking was not a thing any one of you found to be interesting. He had obviously made some touch ups to the place, dimmed lights and all cleaned up, he had a nice elegant shirt on and the kind of messy hair that screamed "I actually spent an alarming amount of time on it". Both of you playing a little game, as if fooling each other was even an option at this point. Light innocent conversation felt like a like dance - who is going to break the rules first?

"Mr. Norris, this is all very nice," you pointed out, "but I believe we are here to review some photos."

He took a napkin to clean up his face and played the game along. "Oh, silly old me. Must have forgotten. Of course. To the screening room."

The two of you got up from the table, Lando's hand on your lower back and his cologne hitting you in the face in the best way possible. Oh why, oh why, why were you getting into this mess? You wanted to be taken into his arms like a naughty teenager kissing her classmate for the first time. Letting him guide you into pleasure. You finally explored how his skin covered his perfect face structure, there was nothing hiding his features. And unlike with your pictures, you could actually see how his jaw moved when he spoke, especially with the perfect light hitting him now. He got you. He understood your need to aesthetics. You could take a photo of his right there. Preferably without clothes hiding his body.

He turned his projector on. This was all part of the cat and mouse game.

"I need to see the pictures you have first. You owe it to me at this point."

He closed the distance between the two of you, looked you deep in the eyes, his blueish greenish ones filled with a need and after long minutes spent with a dinner, that none you actually wanted, he kissed you. Differently that ever before. This was tender, not slow, but somehow free. His soft lips caressed yours and you could have melted right then and there. Only then you understood why all the singers praised the first kiss - this felt like one. He was not afraid to explore, to observe your reaction and feel proud for making you feel that way. He was speaking to you in a language only touch could understand and his words were loud and clear - I want you. And there was absolutely no way either one you would wait a minute longer. Not after how he touched you at the gala. Not after all the meeting he had to sit with his dirty thoughts making it impossible for his to concentrate. Not after all the night you wished he was on top of you. Not after how you mesmerised him while taking photos of him. His hands grabbed your waist firmly, wrincling your dress and sending thunders through your body. You grabbed his hair, pushing him even closer, as it that was even possible. If desire was a color, there would be no other color present in the whole city. Your bodies seemed to understand each other, there were zero thoughts going into your movements. You roamed around his shoulders, he wandered off to touch your ass and slowly started to pushing you towards the couch. You never felt anything as comftable as this specific couch - but one would say it was Lando's body pressing on top of your that was the selling point. His chest touching your boobs, his waist pressed on your and you could feel his erect dick begging to be touched too. Hot blood flowing inside both of your bodies. You started working on unbuttoning his shirt and he smiled into your kiss, not having parted your lips since he first locked them with his. You knew he wanted to say something, so you stopped him by biting his lip and sticking your tongue into his mouth. All bets were off tonight, you both knew why you were there. So he helped you with his shirt, the with a swift motion got you out of your dress before you could even notice, and started working on his pants. It was all very quick, passionate and hard. This is not how you're suppose to be acting towards your team driver. You're not suppose to be fucking him. You're not suppose to be stroking his dick. Oh, but how good it felt to hold him in your hand. Finally, right? It will just be this one time, right? But if it was just this one time, you'd make it a good one. You didn't even know when he stuck his fingers into you, because they felt so natural, you might have thought they were always supposed to be there. Oh, but it felt good - so good - too good. You could have gotten of just with his light motion, but that was not in his plan for tonight. He watched you, being totally present in that moment, right there and then, and he got drunk on the way your body reacted to his actions. When he knew you were more than ready, he finally entered you and one could write a single chapter on how exctatic that felt to him. You were quickly put into some sort of trance, cause by his motion. It was like being on a different planet. In that moment the only thought you could gather was why the fuck did you ever had sex before meeting him and if your previous experiences could even count as such. You got locked in the moment, focusing only on his moves, closed eyes and having touch as the only source of your sensory receptors. He on the other hand let your soft moans in to get him going, moans that only seemed to get louder and higher with every minute that he fucked you. He moved faster, than slower, than faster again. He wanted to try different positions with your, but he wanted to take this view of you bounding under him, to his memory so desperately that he did not dare to endanger the moment you two had.

It could have been minutes. It could have been hours. Time stopped being a reliable way to measure this moment. You came twice, he pulled out and came all over your chest. The two of you laid next to each to other, as much as the couch allowed, trying to catch your breath. There was only one thought on your mind. Fuck. How were you suppose to walk past him now?

You both were riding the pleasure high for few moments. Hearts slowing down, taking in what just happened after weeks of built up tension.

You stayed naked in each others embrace. You traced Lando's freckles, creating shapes and constellations. He was way less subtle and focused on light touches of your nipples. It felt fragile, tender and intimate. Pure contrast to the vibe you had just minutes prior.

"I know it's not ideal," he spoke softly. You froze, not knowing where he was heading with this. He noticed and continued immediately. "Not ideal because of McLaren and stuff." You nodded, not wanting to continue this conversation. But he did. "However...I am having a nice time. And I hope you're too," he waited for your answer, which only came in a nod. He gave you a weak smile. You just didn't feel safe yet and he understood. He leaned in to kiss you - at least that what you were expecting. Instead he stopped right before your lips and whispered. "I was promised some super secret photos, wasn't I?" You smiled, happy that the tension got broken again. Flirty was something you knew how to do with him. "Only if you show me yours too, sweetie." "Oh, I am so ready to dwell into the beauty the two of us are," he sighed and finally kissed you.

There's no race, no ending in sight

r rating. title comes from "two of us on the run" by lucius

(I had to write this one several times before I was happy with it. The next chapter will be fun. This fic will end happy! Also I enjoy how everyone calls Sunny something different yet Buggy is the only one to actually call her Sunny. Croc calls her darling, Mihawk used Miss Sunny, and Alvida is sweetheart and honey. It's kinda cute.)

Taglist: @hey-august @thoraeth

pt 1 + pt 2 + p3 + p4 + pt 5 + p6 + pt 7 +Pt 8 + Pt 9 + Pt 10 + Pt 11 + Pt 12 + Pt 13 + Pt 14 + Pt 15 + pt 16 + Pt 17 (End)

Pt 11

"He's miserable." Alvida sighed as she freshened Mihawk's glass before helping herself to a piece of fruit. "Mopes all day, his makeup is sloppy, clothes are wrinkled. I think something needs to be done."

"She's not any better." Mihawk replied as he leaned back in his seat. "I don't know what was said between her and Crocodile but Miss Sunny isn't her usual self."

The two were sitting under large umbrellas near Mihawk's home, enjoying fruits and cheeses paired with wine. It was something to do in between meetings and other work that had to be done. They would talk about what was going on on the island, any sort of drama to watch out for, though currently Alvida's favorite topic to talk about was the sad clown and his foolish attempt at talking to Crocodile.

"It's too bad they can't be together. They're so cute when they talk about each other." Alvida sighed. "I had Sunny over again last night. When she wasn't crying over her marriage she was absolutely gushing about Buggy and his "pretty hair"." She used air quotes and all, rolling her eyes. "I'd rather they just kiss already and be done with it."

"Miss Sunny won't. She takes the marriage vows seriously." The swordsman said as he helped himself to a piece of cheese with blueberries in it. It was tart but tasty. "Even if she is miserable she won't act on her feelings." When Alvida gave him a side eye, sipping her wine, he continued, "She told me everything yesterday in the garden even though I didn't ask."

"Did you give her any advice?"

"What advice is there to give? We both know who she's married to and what her husband is like." Mihawk replied, raising his glass up. "Unless Crocodile ends the marriage she's stuck with him."

Alvida leaned back in her seat. "Do you think he would end the marriage?"

"He may have if Buggy hadn't acted like an idiot, now he'll keep her around to spite him." He told her with a sigh. "And Miss Sunny won't do anything, she'll stay miserable. She will keep playing the role of wife for him even if she hates him."

"That poor thing." She shook her head before taking a sip of her wine. "Too bad there's nothing we can do."

"You're right, there's nothing I can do since I work with both of them." Mihawk hummed as he took a sip. "Pity."

Alvida glanced over at him, eye row raised as she lowered her glass. "I suppose you're right, there is nothing you can do in this situation. Your hands are tied." She reached for a piece of mango and leaned back. "I, on the other hand..."

~

Sunny took over pulling the weeds in the garden while Mihawk watered. She nearly drowned several of their plots already by being distracted so he no longer trusted her. She said nothing to him, not sure what to even say as she yanked on the weeds and tossed them over her shoulder.

"Hey."

She looked up to see Buggy standing at the gate to the garden but he wasn't looking at her. His eyes were on Mihawk. The injuries Crocodile inflicted on him a week ago had healed, but his refusal to look at Sunny hurt.

"Croc said there was a meeting. Told me to grab you if you're done playing in the dirt." Buggy said, gripping the top of the gate as he kept his eyes on the swordsman. Sunny eventually looked away, turning her attention back to the weeds. There was no point in talking to him.

"I completely forgot." The swordsman sighed as he walked over to the gate, shoving the watering can into Buggy's arms. "Finish up for me while I freshen up and don't over water them or else."

Buggy huffed in annoyance, glaring at Mihawk as he walked off. He looked back at Sunny who was focused on her own task before he stomped over to where the soil was still dry, dumping the water onto it.

"Don't drown them." Sunny said, glancing over at him. "I kept doing it on accident which is why I'm on weed duty."

"Yea?" Buggy snorted. "It can't be that hard to water some damn plants."

"Mihawk will know which ones you watered so if they don't make it..." She trailed off and went back to her task. Buggy looked in the direction Mihawk went, wondering if he was going to suddenly show back up and fight him over talking to her. He rolled his eyes before going to refill the watering can back up.

"So, how's life?" Buggy asked as he filled it to the top before going to the next spot. Sunny sat up and looked over at him.

"It's life. You?" She sighed. "Look, I'm sorry for what he did to you."

"What, that? Please, babe, I've had way worse." He chuckled as he moved to a spot near her. "He just knocked me around a bit, it was nothing."

"Okay." She sat back and looked up at him. "Did you really barge in there and tell him you were in love with me?"

"Yep."

"Why did you do something so stupid?"

"Never said I was smart." Buggy shrugged as he dripped the watering can near her, splashing its contents onto her hand. She jerked away and stuck her tongue out at him. "Woops!"

"Idiot." She muttered, smiling a bit as she wiped her hand on her pants.

"Yea, so, how are you? How's he treating you?"

"Same as before." She shrugged. "I told him how I felt about him."

"And how did that go?" He asked, moving to another area. "You look like you still have all your limbs."

"Well, he is keeping his promise to not hurt me." Sunny told him as she watched him. "Now he just mocks me because I said I liked you."

Buggy looked over at her in surprise. "Oh?"

"And that I want to kiss you." She pointed to another spot. "Over there next, Buggy."

He didn't move, looking down at her with a now smug expression. "You *want* to kiss me? Really?" He left his hand with the watering can and crouched down beside her with a grin. "We could kiss now."

"No, we can't, I'm married." Sunny reminded him as she gently pushed him back. "I made a vow."

"Against your will!" He exclaimed. "Did you ever want to marry him?!"

"No, but I had no choice, okay?" She shot back. "It wouldn't be right to kiss you while I'm still married to him!"

"But you don't love him!"

"I don't love you either!"

He stood up suddenly and went to grab the watering can. She swore softly and got up as well, stumbling through the soft ground until she grabbed his wrist.

"Buggy, let me finish." She insisted as he turned to look at her. She hated how he was looking at her, the hurt in his eyes while he was trying to force himself to smile, trying to appear more amused by her words. "I... Would like to fall in love with you, okay, but I can't in my situation."

"Say no more, babe." He chuckled as he pulled himself out of her grip. "We know it can't happen, so maybe it's stupid for me to keep trying."

She hesitated, reaching for his hand again. He eyed it cautiously before looking around, making sure they were still alone before he allowed her to take it. She gave his hand a squeeze, smiling at him. "Just shut up for a second, clown."

"Excuse me?" He tried to look offended but she giggled, holding onto his hand.

"I feel if we had one more dance that night I would have fallen in love completely, you know, but instead we had to stop." She said as she smiled. "I wish things were different, you know, because I think I'd be happy with you."

"Really?"

"Really, Buggy."

"So then let's-"

"Buggy." Mihawk was back. Buggy cursed him while Sunny squeezed his hand again before letting go. Mihawk pretended not to notice. "Did you finish watering the plants?"

"Yes! I finished watering your stupid plants!" He fussed as he pushed the watering can into Sunny's arms. "Your dumb plants are no longer thirsty 'cause I gave them lots of water!"

The swordsman narrowed his eyes. "You better not have over watered them."

"Over watering is the best so you don't have to do it again tomorrow, okay?!" Buggy huffed as he stomped over to him. "Let's go to that stupid meeting already! Can't keep him waiting, you know!"

Mihawk looked back at Sunny. "Did he over water them?"

"A little." Sunny smiled. "I kept an eye on him."

"If any of these die, it's his fault." Mihawk muttered as he opened the gate for Buggy and let him out. "We will see you in a few hours, Miss Sunny."

"Have fun, you two." Sunny waved at them as they left before she finished up the task. Hopefully the plants would be okay.

Austin 2024 Race Prediction

Disclaimer: This is for entertainment purposes only, nothing observed or taken away from this should be considered fact.

The sprint was literally so all over the place, I love the chaos. It’s truly serving this weekend. Qualifying was also like, nutty as fuck. I’m here for things getting weird and wild.

My favorite hockey team just got their shit absolutely rocked, so I’ll be going dark. Anyways, here is what the cards have to say for tomorrow.

P1 - Lando Norris - Temperance

Temperance is about balance, and maintaining balance. I’m taking this in the sense that he needs to remain calm and not worked up if he loses position off start. We’ll see him on podium, but I don’t think it’ll be top step.

P2 - Max Verstappen - The Lovers

With how happy Max was today, it’s clear to me that the love is being felt. Austin loves Max, and Max loves Austin. I 100% think we will see him on the top step if he is able to get the position from the start.

P3 - Carlos Sainz - Six of Wands, reversed

It’s a card of triumph. If Carlos carries over the energy from today he’s absolutely going to be a force tomorrow. The Carlos girlies will be eating good tomorrow.

P4 - Charles Leclerc - The Moon

It’s a deceit, so I’m going to guess that the strategy is going to be ABSOLUTELY fumbled, and Charles will pay for it.

P5 - Oscar Piastri - Six of Cups

It’s going to be a really good effort tomorrow, but I’m not seeing much success. This is a card of goodwill, innocence, and super nostalgic. If anything, I think Oscar might be having a super off week where he is stuck in his own head.

P6 - George Russell - Knight of Cups, reversed

This one interests me, because the knight is sensitive, almost overly so. I’m going to assume that there is some mental fuckery happening from todays race and the crash that have kind of thrown some things off. I think we’ll see a massive struggle.

P7 - Pierre Gasly - Queen of Pentacles, reversed

Can I admit something? Is this a safe space? I think I’m a huge fan of Pierre guys. The not so vague threats against others has endeared me. Anyways, this is a card of resourcefulness, so I’m hoping we see the drive of his life tomorrow. I don’t think we’ll see many position gains, but it’ll be a hell of a drive.

P8 - Fernando Alonso - Knight of Wands

War criminal Fernando incoming. This Knight is hot-tempered, and overly confident. Fernando is going to be reckless tomorrow. I don’t think he’ll maintain points at all because of the driving, and potential for penalty.

P9 - Kevin Magnussen - 10 of Swords, reversed

It’s my second favorite war criminal. If there is contact between drivers tomorrow, Kevin will be at the scene of the crime. This is a card of victimhood, of bottoming out, and I absolutely think we’ll see that tomorrow.

P10 - Sergio Perez - Seven of Pentacles

Checo is getting points tomorrow, I fully believe that he is going to be rewarded for the shit show that has been this weekend so far!

Yoshiki: I have it

Yoshiki: I'm keeping it on me at all times

(sfx: crowd noise)

Hikaru: Definitely don't lose it.

(sfx: plate clatter)

(sfx: door chime)

Hikaru: If it broke, I probably wouldn't be okay either

Yoshiki: Huh!? It's that important!?

Hikaru: Obviously...It's proof of my resolve. Though if you put it back into my body, it might go back to normal...

P10

[shearah]

blegh

I raided with friend A's group yesterday, the one I had to study for. Last week I was assigned a spot at the end of the doth lineup. So, I simmed. Wrath, doth, p6 and p7.

WE GET INTO RAID. MY PING HAS BEEN 300-400 FOR THE PAST 48 HOURS AND DISCORD STRAIGHT UP ISN'T WORKING. THEY PUT THE MARKERS DOWN FOR LINEUP. AND LEAVE ME A SPACE THREE FROM THE END INSTEAD.

I shouldn't be mad because that is PF standard for my role (not that I want to PF anyway, PF stinky) but that was not the spot I simmed. I did not know the safe spots (there are no aoe markers for these mechanics so you literally just have to know the floor/wall markings of where to stand) for anything but the far east/west spots.

I got my toes clipped a few times. They started going back in VODs and SCREENGRABBING ME FUCKING UP AND FILLING THE CHANNEL WITH IT.

I spent hours studying and simming so I wouldn't fuck up and they wouldn't pick on me for getting my fucking toes clipped and then both my internet and their changing of strats made me look like a fucking clown, again.

"How am I toxic" "I don't understand why you aren't comfortable with this group" "they aren't trying to be mean to you" are they fuck

Then in the raid I had after my ping was an absolute mess, between the usual 150 to as high as 550, so when it was high I started adjusting and moving into aoes before they went off. Then it would suddenly dip back to normal and I would run into an aoe and die :)))

guess who got fucking laughed at for the second time in a day

I haven't been great at taking my meds for the past two weeks because the pharmacy didn't give me enough of the one I have to take three times a day, so I've just sorta been forgetting the other two and taking them whenever (or just straight up forgetting) so I know I'm a little extra sensitive rn but that. really fucking threw me.

Now today I know there's a comm I promised to do before DT dropped and I made a note of their name but they seem to have changed their discord handle and I can't find the chat so I'm stressed about that! I've barely been eating for like two months and haven't even lost any weight so I'm frustrated about that! (and hangry lbr) Nothing in the LL to indicate they're going to do anything to fix the massive issues with my face for DT either and every day I get the notification of the illustrated countdown it feels like doomsdy is approaching and people on the forums are like "stop being so nitpicky" when it's actually a huge major issue so I'm upset about that!

I would like life to just stop for a month and let me catch a breather FUCK

[the1weepinqguitar]

Why am I not surprised?

so yeah i've been thinking abt it a lot.

autism.

[warning, this may become a rant. I feel super strongly about this topic and I think I should talk about my experiences with it.]

my dad has it really bad, his social skills are absolute crap. he has severe social anxiety and hyperfixates on stuff. i love 'im tho. he's wonderful when he gets out of his shell.

my sister has it too. she has a lot of trouble making friends at school and straight up avoids other kids her age because they think she's weird. she doesn't talk unless prompted to, and even then she doesn't say much. she hums to herself and stims a lot. she was diagnosed when she was a toddler, but my dad just found out abt his.

i think im just high-functioning, because although my social skills aren't great, i can still maintain relatively positive relationships with people without them dumping me for cooler people. i hyperfixate on random things from my ever-growing hoard of cds to my musical interests. i struggle a lot in school (and have the entire time) with paying attention and staying focused in classes I don't like. I was first labelled as "gifted" in second or third grade (us schools amiright)

I have gotten reprimanded many times for this because I "don't try hard enough to focus". I get so fucking pissed when my mom tells me to just "try harder" because sometimes i just can't do it, no matter what the punishment will be if I fail. Sometimes I can't.

It's hard sometimes because I have three younger siblings and I have to watch them and play with them for hours every day. I get drained really fast and I always end up shrinking back into my room, which gets me in huge trouble because I'm the oldest and it's my responsibility.

My mom insists that nothing is wrong and refuses to let me get therapy because she feels things like my gender and whether i'm neurodivergent or not don't matter in the "real" world (she pulled me out of therapy last year because i was trying to talk to my therapist about my gender dysphoria. And yes, I had to tell my mom what we talked about during each session or else I would've gotten punished. thanks, mom.). I don't feel valid in my home. I don't feel heard.

[pronoun pins, pride flags and fidget toys are banned in my home. I kept a secret fidget cube up until recently when my mom found it and got rid of it. little does she know, i also have a secret glow-in-the-dark fidget spinner i received a couple years back]

So here I am on my Tumblr blog of all places ranting about my shitty feelings and now you have to hear all about it. I'm sorry. I ran out of people to talk to.

Feel free to chat with me, it feels nice to actually be able to feel my real feelings.

have a nice day.

I can't stop thinking about the damn rainbow pin. Why is it closed up is it an attempt to queer bait probably. Will it probably be offensive. Oh absolutely I have no fate in atlus fter they made their supposed fix version of the gay p5 scene. Am I going to put by clown make up on in hopes that we get some queer romance. Absolutely.

But its so weird someone correct me if I'm wrong but was the gay p5 scene advertised in the trailers. Of its just some npc why have the close up of the bag. If it's just a generic rainbow why the close up. Is this a new link. Is it a cameo. Are we supposed to recognize them. I guess with how its framed in the trailer it could just be what chidori is looking at before Junpei comes in which can open a whole can of worms.

I wanna headcannon that this is sorta a tease to saying strega and persona users in general are a little queer. Like especially since the line accompanying it is "for the first time in my life I realized what I wanted" and you know that's a pretty queer experience. First time you crack an egg first time you know what you want in a relationship. I know that's not what they intend at all and honestly with their track record if it turns out to be nothing but an npc living their life as much as I'm going to fucking scream when every time the community devolves into umm actually they weren't gay at all. *cough cough p4* it would genuinely be the best gay rep we had in the series and if that doesn't say something about the company. Baby steps maybe p6 will give us some actual queer romance.

F1 Re-Watch 2022: Round 21 - Sao Paulo

Filed under: I was that tuned out of last year I didn’t realise a second race had its name changed for 2022

ANYWAY: while I forgot to watch highlights for Brazil (I genuinely had every intention to, I just forgot bc C4 only has the highlights shows up on their website for a week). I do remember logging onto tumblr after the race and seeing the carnage of George Russell getting his and Merc’s first win of the season... and the RBR team order drama (👀)

But apart from that, I know nothing, so let’s dive in:

ngl this is one of the races I’ve been most looking forward to watching in full, mainly for the non-RBR win but also I need to know how Russell dragged the W13 into P1 like please tell us your secrets

I also read a few weeks back the very wild stat that the W13 got a 1-2 finish, but it’s predecessor the W12 didn’t. Which is insane

right then, starting grid whiplash:

(which, this was a sprint weekend, which will likely explain a lot)

Lance P15, bc of a 10 sec pen apparently

SEB P9 LET’S GOOOOOOOOOO

oh my god a Merc front row, the absolute SCENES

capture it, remember it

oh, we absolutely ADORE to see it.

I will give sprint races this one right, just this once

[Formation Lap]: like Mexico, a pretty even split of people starting on either the softs or the mediums, with the exception of Albon being the only car on the hards

oh, I am looking forward to this. I am thrilled Angela in the garage and she is me

[Lap 1/Start]: Mercs holding formation at the start

LANDO NORRIS?! In between the RBRs and Ferrari???

OH SHIT

Safety Car, Dan just speared into Kevin

oh the duality of McLaren in 2022

[Lap 2]: Tag yourself I’m the marshal just flinging the broken bits of advertising board away

oh so Dan tapped Kevin into a spin, and Kevin not able to control the car, went right into Dan. welp.

[Lap 3]: SEB UP TO P8 LET’S GET IT!!!!

and Mick P10 🥺 That’s my emotional support Germans

[Lap 4]: “That Aston Martin in the hands of Vettel has some pace today” I need Ted to be my hype man seriously

Charles has potential engine problems??? oh welp

Ferrari gonna Ferrari

[Lap 5]: Albon pits to ditch the hards for mediums, still under SC

The replay of Lando’s start, very noice

[Lap 6]: aaaand SC in this lap

rip Otmar’s nerves for having to watch Esteban v Alonso at the restart

ayyy Bono sighting

...you gonna go George???

[Lap 7]: ....

ffs

Lewis and Verstappen touched and broke bits of each other’s cars

NOT LANDO TAKING OUT CHARLES

oh so Charles is not out he managed to get his car back to the pits.

still I would like a refund for that lap, it woke up and chose TOO MUCH violence

[Lap 8]: oh my god Seb’s up into P5 as a result of all the violence

[Lap 9]: And Lewis is up into P7

[Lap 10]: And now P6

cut to Lance in P9 defending from Bottas

[Lap 11]: Lewis v Seb, this is not how I wanted it to happen but I’ll take it 🥺

apparently still a way to go until 1st stop territory, which will probably have been extended a tiny bit thanks to the safety car

[Lap 12]: “That Aston Martin is a sprightly thing” AMR22 no longer assigned tractor status 🥳🥳🥳

[Lap 13]: Verstappen got a 5 sec pen for the violence huh 👀

as does Norris for trying to murder Charles

[Lap 14]: And Lewis takes P5, to the delight of the very lively crowd

I think we can all agree that Brazil is Lewis’ second home race at this point (I mean, it technically his how he has his honorary citizenship, but you know what I mean)

[Lap 15]: And Lewis takes 4th from Lando (try saying that three times fast)

can we not get constant replays of the Verstappen on Lewis violence, once was more than enough

[Lap 16]: meanwhile Seb is chasing down Lando 👀

this race has been quite a lot, and I don’t think we’re barely at one quarter distance

Interlagos will always be 100% that bitch

[Lap 17]: SEB INTO P5!!!! THAT’S MY BOOOOOOY

oh and Zhou makes his first stop

[Lap 18]: as does Sainz

meanwhile Russell is driving around completely unbothered while multiple fistfights happen behind him

Sainz has a smoky brake apparently 😬

not a tear off stuck in the brake duct oh good grief

[Lap 20]: somehow, Bottas is in P6

ayyy Lance up to P9

...or not Sainz just passed him

[Lap 21]: Charles still down in P15, he was a title contender at the start of the year 😭

[Lap 22]: Lewis closing the gap to Perez you say 👀👀👀

Charles pits again, because Clowneria Ferrari

[Lap 24]: and just to emphasise the point, Sainz doesn’t know what strategy he’s on.

Perez pits for mediums

oh my god Seb’s in P3. STOP THE RACE!!!!!!!

[Lap 25]: Russell pits, and has a slower stop compared to Perez

but he comes out ahead of Seb.

Anyway Merc 1-2, Lewis win, Seb P3. STOP! THE! RACE!!!!!

[Lap 26]: Lewis leading in Brazil, feels good feels organic

and the crowd (rightfully) love him

“Sebastian Vettel runs third” INJECT IIIIIIIIIT!!!!!

But, I did look up Seb’s result and he finishes P11 so I’m vibing now while it lasts 😭

[Lap 27]: and in Seb pits for mediums, he comes out in 9th

[Lap 28]: and Bottas takes 7th off Gasly

helmet watch: Seb’s Brazilian flag tree design is so cute I love it

[Lap 29]: They’re talking about dark clouds, please no 🥲

but anyway SEB INTO P8!!!

[Lap 30]: Lewis makes his first stop, softs for mediums, and comes out in P4

and Seb up into P7 as Lance pits

“Pitlane incident involving Alfa Romeo will be investigated after the race” ????? care to give us any detail at all FIA?????

don’t just leave us hanging spill the tea

[Lap 31]: I am not looking at the clouds in the distance I do not see them

[Lap 32]: Lewis setting a 1m15. King shit.

[Lap 33]: and Lance passes Yuki for P14

beloved midfield spice how I have missed you since you were MIA in Mexico

[Lap 34]: Ted spilling the pit lane drama tea, apparently Alfa Romeo didn’t pull in their wheel guns when Mick came in for his stop (it’s a sporting curtesy, not a rule per se)

But is still funny that the entire Alfa Romeo team is under investigation seghujgh

poor Barry from catering is an innocent bystander in all of this!!!!

[Lap 36]: Anyway, racing

Alonso pits, promoting Bottas to 5th (?!) and Seb to 6th 🥳

Sainz to pit again, not surprising considering he’s on the softs

He’s on the mediums this time

[Lap 38]: Man seeing the cars being able to actually follow each other, and make overtakes in the corners as opposed to DRS moves. WE STAN.

Alonso with a nice move on Yuki for P13

[Lap 40]: whew I didn’t even notice that we’d passed half distance

track temp has dropped 11 degrees since the race start, it’s def way cloudier. And that’s seemingly favouring Merc, considering the rate at which Lewis is catching Perez

[Lap 41]: Ted has gotten out the big braincell and realised that Merc’s goal is to get a 1-2 for the drama. As they should tbh.

[Lap 42]: Seb still in P6, I’m equal parts thrilled and worried as to how he ends up P11

[Lap 43]: Lewis’ gap to Perez under 2 seconds 👀

someone whip out the jaws music

[Lap 44]: he’s closed right up, racing time!!

[Lap 45]: and he gets the move done down the main straight. NOICE.

and the crowd go insane, as they should

meanwhile Charles pits again from 8th, I once again support his rights to burn things down

[Lap 46]: Seb pits from P6, and drops to P11

[Lap 48]: Perez pits again for mediums, and gets jumped by Sainz

Both Mercs yet to make their second stops still, I would be both surprised and impressed if they manage to make the one-stop work

[Lap 49]: And as I type that, in comes Lewis 😅

Likely to cover off Perez.

Which he does! He’s on the softs

[Lap 50]: and In comes Russell, also for softs

Crofty stop trying to manifest rain the race is fine without it!!

Seb in P7 ahead of Charles 🥺

[Lap 51]: And Charles does pass Seb for 7th

[Lap 52]: Oh apparently Kevin still hasn’t come back to the paddock yet ubhsgeugheshg

and Lando has stopped with a loss of power. McLaren’s very bad not good race.

and a bit of a late VSC, since Lando was getting out the car while cars were passing him 🙃🙃🙃

[Lap 53]: and looks like Ferrari are going to pit Sainz for softs

[Lap 54]: that McLaren is not moving for the marshals for love nor money

and we’re upgraded to a full Safety Car because of it

not Crofty stirring the pot asking Otmar what he’ll tell Esteban and Fernando at the restart slrbnhlbh

He is craving all sorts of violence today

[Lap 55]: Helmet watch: Lando’s neon yellow with chrome royal blue design is so pretty

“You are racing, just be respectful” Mercedes say no violence only polite fisticuffs allowed

stop. replaying. the Verstappen on Lewis incident.

[Lap 56]: another Bono sighting?! TV director your basket of pastries is in the post.

[Lap 57]: “They haven’t released the lapped cars yet” Brundle... don’t

[Lap 58]: oh Esteban being told to let Alonso past and he straight up says no aeghearughs

Alpine squared violence intensifies

[Lap 59]: SC coming in... I am Anxious™️

If we get RBR on Lewis violence again I will SCREAM

George once again taking his SWEET AS TIME to go ffs

[Lap 60]: okay phew that was a much more chill restart

argh Seb down to 9th what happened?!

[Lap 61]: oof Sainz trying to barge past Perez

Charles watching behind with popcorn

and Alonso passes Bottas for P6

once again, EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING

[Lap 62]: 10 laps to go, oh BOY

oh. Seb was on the mediums surrounded by drivers on softs. no wonder he’s dropped places

[Lap 63]: And Sainz does pass Perez for P3

funnily enough he’s also on the mediums while the cars around him are on softs

[Lap 64]: And Charles takes P4!

meanwhile the gap between the Mercs is just over a second

[Lap 65]: Oh jeez that swerving from Perez and Alonso

and Fernando adds himself to be “I passed Perez after the SC restart” party

oh. Verstappen is behind Perez now. team order drama incoming I guess. 🍿

replay of elated Alpine mechanics my beloved

[Lap 67]: 5 laps left, and Verstappen passes Perez. 

after explicably being told to take points off the Ferrari’s 😬

ohhhhhh that pass from Mick on Gasly was NICE

[Lap 68]: Gap between the Mercs still are 1.2-1.3 seconds

[Lap 69]: Ugh, Seb’s dropped down to P11 behind Lance, damn you medium tyres

(Not Lance though, he’s great)

[Lap 70]: The fact that this was Merc’s first win since Saudi ‘21... pain

[Lap 71]: Also the comedy of Merc winning one of the races Toto wasn’t at aeghaergh. It’s a wonder Toto has been at any races in 2023.

welp more internal Ferrari violence

[Finish]: And Russell wins his first F1 race, with Lewis bagging a Merc 1-2!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Sainz P3, Charles P4, with Fernando dragging his Alpine into P5 out of sheer spite.

Okay I’m pretty neutral on Russell but his team radio was v sweet 🥺

and ending with Lewis DOTD, and Lance P10 Team Greeeeeeeeen!!!🥳💚

WHEW. Interlagos continues to deliver the racing AND the drama. That was a fun race to watch though, while we didn’t have a proper battle for the win per se there was so much entertainment in the midfield, and while the reason why it happened did not spark joy, watching Lewis fight back through the field like the King he is was *chef’s kiss*.

Overall, 9 front wings out of 10. Next, and final race of 2022 - Abu Dhabi!

[vvettell]

i think about it at least once a week anyway but now that brazil is next i keep thinking about brazil 21 and how much of a rollercoaster ride it was the narrative was SO rich that weekend it was better than any script anyone could have written

when after mexico it felt like max already had one hand on the trophy because the points gap was big enough that lewis would have had to win all the remaining races and first the freight is stuck in miami and arrives late so teams can't work as they usually would and the first rumours pop up of lewis taking yet another ICE and it feels desperate because why would they take yet another one but then quali happens and lewis gets pole by FOUR tenths which was one of the biggest gaps we had in quali all season and it's okay because he'd start the sprint from p1 but then the race from p6 and he did a mega lap

ONLY THEN after the session reports come out about the fia checking lewis's car forever and bam lewis gets disqualified because his rear wing flap opened only 0.02mm more than it should on one side and merc fight it immediately and video emerges of max touching lewis's rear wing in parc ferme after rb had been baffled by merc's straight line speed and newey met the fia about it but the stewards refuse to come to a decision that day and it feels like the championship is already over just hand the trophy to max while the merc admin is posting about lewis being the dj in the garage as if nothing's happening so saturday happens and merc lose the appeal and max gets fined 50k for touching another car in parc ferme

lewis starts the sprint dead last and has one of THE drives and gets 4 cars in the first lap alone and ends up p5 on the grid in a matter of 24 laps which sets a record for most overtakes in that amount of time and it kinda feels like you're watching something special like history being made like maybe..... but WAIT!!! he still has to take the engine penalty

so sunday comes around and lewis starts the race p10 and gets up to p2 after a small battle with checo and the car is so fast lewis is catching and catching and on lap 48 he tries to overtake max in turn 4 who doesn't even TRY to turn the car and punts him into argentina basically and the stewards don't even note it and wheatley is on the radio about how it's all about letting them race and hard racing while merc complains and masi tells them they've looked at it from all angles which turns out to be a bold faced lie after the race because they didn't have max's onboard and couldn't see his steering inputs at all and he's not referring it to the stewards and lewis puts his head down and sets it up and gets a beautiful move done 1 lap later the crowd goes absolutely wild and after the last two races in that triple header it feels like this championship is on again

he picks up a brazilian flag from a marshal in the cool down lap and drives the lap with it and brazilian commentary literally chokes up on live air and lewis stands on the podium with the brazilian flag around him and brazil celebrates him like he's their own and call him the boss and it was the most beautiful thing he came back from what was essentially a 25 place grid penalty and overtook every single car on the grid some of them even twice and still WON!!!!!

AO3 LINK

Today was the day. Today, you would no longer be Y/N Y/LN, you would be Y/N Parker now. It didn’t have a terrible ring to it… Your mind couldn’t help but compare it to another name, another name that you had so tirelessly tried to erase from your mind for the sake of your Husband-to-be, a name that always found itself tumbling from your lips mid orgasm.

“Are you alright sweetie?” Aunt May asked you, watching as you stepped into your wedding dress, Allie rushing to help you. You weren’t alright, but you had to be, had to be for Peter. He had given you so much, laid his heart bare and loved you endlessly, the least you could do was happily marry him.

“Yes Aunt May, I am.” You smiled back at her, Allie’s worried expression coming into view. She remained quiet, helping you slowly and zipping your dress, smiling despite everything as she looked at you.

“You're absolutely beautiful Y/N.” Your best friend spoke, emotional eyes meeting yours. Here Allie stood in the stead of your parents, neither interested in the life you had made for yourself but you didn’t care, leaning forward to rest your forehead against her shoulder.

“Thank you Allie. For everything” You answered her, allowing her and Aunt May to prepare you, one set of hands getting your hair done and the other on your makeup.

The silence left you feeling anxious, mind running as you imagined how it would go, imagined how your first night would be like, imagined moaning out Otto’s name-

A soft knock sounded through the room, making the three of you turn towards the door. Aunt May wasted no time, hurrying to the door as Allie continued her work, makeup brush in hand and eyes nearly crossed as she finished applying your eyeshadow.

“You look amazing.” She tenderly whispered, green eyes far too expressive for her own good. You smiled and reached for her lifted elbow, squeezing lightly in a loving gesture.

“She does.” Replied a voice, startling the both of you, heads snapping in its owner's direction.

There, stood sweet Peter Parker, tuxedo and all, smiling softly at you, blue eyes taking in every detail as if mesmerized.

Gasps erupted out of you and Allie, your best friend’s hands already reaching for a jacket to hide your form.

“PETER, FUCK OFF! Oh my god, it's bad luck to see the bride before the ceremony!” She cried out, always having your best interest at heart. The soft laughter that left the man caused the both of you to freeze, eyes turning to him.

Resignation flowed off of Peter, but so too did an air of acceptance, eyes only filled with love and compassion as he stared back at you, taking you in.

“It's a good thing that there won't be a wedding. Atleast, not today.” He spoke, words hanging in the air for a moment as you and Allie processed his words. She blinked, looking between the both of you, taking in your equally surprised face and understood something, eyes going back to Peter.

“Peter, would you like for me to step outside?” Allie asked, makeup brush and all already being deposited onto the desk. You panicked, hands reaching for her own, trying to keep her close, needing her to keep your head above water.

“Y/N, babe, you are okay, you're alright okay?” Allie whispered, leaning forward until her forehead touched your own, hands gripping yours in reassurance.

“Can you do this?” She asked, and you knew that if you truly asked it of her, she would stay, stay beside you, stay and keep you from wanting to drown yourself in the dark waters.

But if she stayed, you would never get over this, never be ready, never face it yourself. And so, decided, you nodded, shaking hands squeezing her own before letting go, watching her step out of the room.

It felt like forever before you looked back at Peter, his patience and kindness making your heart break.

“I'm sorry-“ You started, eyes beginning to water, knowing he deserved someone better, someone faithful, someone good. Your Fiancé wasted no time in moving forward and pulling you into his arms, holding you close as you sobbed on his shoulder. His black tuxedo thankfully didn’t stain but you feared not for that.

“You have nothing to be sorry for.” Peter spoke, words barely over a whisper, hands holding your face softly. Thumbs rubbed your tears away and you hated not being able to love him back.

“Peter- I do have things to be sorry for…” You tried again, interrupted once more by his fingers against your lips, watching a spark of teasing in his eyes as he looked away cheekily.

“I know what you mean Y/N, I know. It's okay, I'm not angry at you, in any way.” He whispered out, eyes looking away from you, and it was only now that you noticed the appearance of his skin.

“Peter, oh my god, what happened to you?!” You let out louder than you’d intended, pushing away his hand to hold his face between your own, eyes roving over every patch of skin you could see. Bruises and cuts marred his skin, lip busted but healing, purple staining his under eyes. He only smiled, rough hands reaching for your own and holding them against his cheeks, leaning completely in your touch, eyes shut. Always had he been vulnerable under your touch, quieting the moment you would hug him or hold him close.

“Y/N… I know you still love him, I can see the pain in your eyes…” Sweet Peter Parker whispered into the silence around you, blue eyes opening to look at you.

“I'm sorry Peter.” Was all you could reply, not able to lie to the man who had so fiercely loved you for this past year, who had helped you pick up the pieces of your broken heart. No matter how you could repay him, nothing would never be enough for the sheer amount of love and support he had given you.

“Don't be, I know how the heart works. I just want you to be happy, and I know you could be happier.” Parker turned his head, mumbling into your opened palm.

“I don't regret any of it, any of our time together.” He continued, soft blue eyes meeting yours once more, taking in your beauty. You finally smiled, a small tilt of the lips but still a smile, watching him back.

“I could never regret our time together, you have been nothing but amazing Peter.” You replied and leaned forward, lips pressed against his cheek in a soft kiss. He chuckled, eyebrows raising and mouth opening for a moment before a loud noise sounded out behind the door with a curse, making the both of you jump.

“Spiderman my ass, more like Chicken Man.” You piped up after a second, watching the emotions course through Peter’s mind before he barked out a laugh, holding you close in a hug.

“Please, Missus Chicken, save that for another day! For now, I require one last thing from you…” Peter asked, smiling widely.

“If this is some elaborate plan for a ‘Breakup Blowjob’, I am going to call your aunt in.” You whispered in fake suspicion, allowing a smile to grace your lips again at the sound of his laughter.

“No, definitely not!” Peter grinned, detaching himself from your hold and taking your hand, fingers reaching for the ring he had given you.

“You have been my world and my sun, so please, for once, let me gift you with something.” Peter whispered as he softly took your ring off and pocketed it, smiling as he motioned for you to wait a moment, leaving the room entirely, the door closing behind him.

Your hands wrung together while you waited, mind running, trying to guess what Peter had prepared for you. Your vicious mind tried to not imagine Peter barging back in with a Bugle photographer, taking pictures of you and labeling them “Doctor Octopus Fucker! Leaves Fiancé for villain!”.

The door handle turned slowly, your heart beating erratically out of your chest as Peter’s head poked back inside.

“Ready?” He smiled, waiting for your nod before stepping inside and looking back into the hall, nodding his head towards whatever was outside.

The sight nearly had you falling to the ground, eyes glued on Otto Octavius as he entered the room, blindfold tightly wrapped over his eyes and hands bound before him. Peter noticed your silence, a single finger held firmly to his lips. He quickly moved towards the windows and drew all the silken dark curtains closed.

“Alright, we're here Dr Octavius.” Peter spoke out loud towards the man, tentacles firmly planted into the ground around him. “Are you sure your ready for this?” Peter asked him, simply receiving a slow nod in response.

“I'm going to step out now.” Peter said before approaching you, hands reaching for you softly and holding you in a hug, lips close to your ear.

“You decide what you want to do with this gift Y/N. I want you to be happy, and if getting a black eye meant you would be happy, it was a small price to pay.” He whispered and winked, stepping out of the room entirely, lock clicking behind him.

You remained frozen on the spot where you stood, eyes running over the man’s tall form. God, he looked amazing, leather coat and all, your gaze now taking all of him in. You hadn’t had much time last time you had seen him, the darkness of the lab hiding everything from your seeking eyes.

Bizarrely, he also remained frozen there, hands bound and eyes hidden, chest rising and falling quickly. You took a step forward, the sound of the floorboards creaking under you making the man tilt his head towards you, inhaling quickly as you took another.

Another step, and another, and before long, you stood before him, his decadent scent reaching you, heartbeat quickening as you watched him breathe harder. It was intoxicating to watch the man before you stay silent, intoxicating to watch him allow you to step forward, absolutely intoxicating to have him before you like this and watch his composure crack but waiting for you to speak.

“Otto.” You finally decided to put him out of his misery, watching as he finally exhaled in relief and nodded, hands clenching together but never moving to rip apart his bonds, never moving to touch you.

“Y/N.” He whispered with a breath, speaking your name as if he weren’t allowed, scared someone would hear him. You smiled, eyes moving towards his hands.

“What is going on here, Otto? Why are you bound and blindfolded?”

“Y-You decide what you want to do with me.” He replied, his face heating as you remained silent after a moment. His blatant submission caused a swirling heat to run wild inside you, leaving you breathless as he simply stood there, waiting.

“Otto… Did Peter-“ Oh god, had Peter dragged the man here and bound him, telling the man to do whatever you wanted, as in a threat? It didn't sound like Peter at all, but you drew a blank as you tried to make sense of all this.

“Did Peter tell you what today was?” You continued, hands finally reaching out and grazing his own hands, loving the way he hurriedly held onto yours.

“Your Wedding day. Peter-“ he paused, trying to find his words, nervousness causing his throat to close up.

“He said I could spend one last time with you, before you married him.” Otto Octavius mumbled, hands holding yours like a lifeline.

DTS Season 4, Ep 2

Live-blogging under the cut again. Mama, I'm scared.

We didn't even make it to the title card and I already want to bail out. This is gonna be rough.

I'll take Cyril and Christian and Zak all hyping Daniel up. I'll take it.

"By the end of this season, I do predict an array of podiums." LORD, I'M GONNA FUCKIN DIE.

Well, I guess now that [redacted] has had a speaking role in DTS, I can't complain about how inescapable he is.

Will saying that signing a race winning driver doesn't necessarily guarantee success and then cutting to a shot of Seb.....ouch.

Literally the only way I'm going to make it through this without going back to hating Lando is by reminding myself it's an understandable reaction to losing his boyfriend.

I feel like you can tell even P6 and outqualifying Lando isn't good enough for Daniel. Like yeah, maybe it's stating the obvious and probably true of every driver, but I don't he's really ever truly happy unless he's P1.

The lingering shot of Daniel's plate of carrots and hummus. Let the man eat, for fuck's sake.

"It's impossible to judge a new driver on the first race." Again, thank you, Will, for providing absolutely nothing of value.

"He's a lot better than that." We know, Christian. We know. D:

Daniel asking what the fine is for not doing media is truly like a kick in the gut. And his poor sad little face. "What if I'm just a cunt." I'm literally going to sob. This is awful. Awful.

I DON'T EVEN WANT TO WATCH MONACO, FUCK.

The juxtaposition between how well Charles and Carlos are getting along versus how Lando and Daniel were getting along.....I'm again trying not to read this as a flaw in Lando's character, but. It's difficult tbh.

Noooo, don't show footage of 2018, my heart can't take it.

I don't think I can ever be on the Daniel Return to Red Bull train, just because I really don't think he wants to be a number 2 driver, but I can see the appeal.

"I don't think any driver would feel sympathy for another driver." Well, Lando, we know THAT'S not true, since plenty of other drivers DID express sympathy, but whatever. Also most people learn you don't have to just say everything that crosses your mind, whether it's true or not, but WHATEVER. *deep breath*

Oh good, a time-out from being heartbroken for Daniel to feel heartbroken for Charles. D:

I just want to understand. Like, when Daniel says he's struggling on the radio, what does that even mean? Is it the setup of the car? This is one time I was DTS was less about drama and more about details, because WHY. I still want to understand whyyyyy.

I'm so distraught. That was difficult to watch.

Kat’s Debrief - Bahrain GP 2022

The new season is officially underway and it certainly was…a race!

Ferrari - man what a stellar drive from the lads in red! Awesome to see a team with their caliber back to where they should be! (The bitterness in me wishes Seb was still there but I’ll stop sksksksksk) Leclerc was absolutely amazing and so was Sainz! The perfect 1-2!

Mercedes - Given the current circumstances, what an incredible race from our Merc boys 🖤 Lewis as always gives it his all, i cannot put in to words how happy that P3 and P4 made me. It felt like a 1-2! A very small bit of justice came through for our boys today. But in all seriousness, Merc have some hella work that needs to be done, i’m really hoping this is something they can get sorted in the next few races. We need these guys on top. We got an 8th drivers title to win. 🖤

Haas - AHHH amazing from Kevin and a brilliant drive from Mick too! A great pairing and honestly Kevin is a phenomenal driver. Mans not been in an F1 Race for over a year and he comes back with a fricking p5?! HELL YEAH! Excited for this teams potential and they truly deserve this. Well done haas!

Alfa Romeo - I mean Bottas, hasn’t changed 😂 always seems to struggle on the starts but what an incredible drive from him to get P6, super happy for him and also Zhou! His first point in his first ever F1 race?! Awesome achievement and some good points for Alfa!

Gasly - ahh that was unlucky, also gave me flashbacks to Romains crash at that same corner!! Think that corner is cursed 🥴

Mclaren - I…have no words…I know testing isn’t something to go off but… what the fuck was that? That was poor. I felt embarrassed for them. I felt sorry for Lando and Daniel. They were on the up from some poor years prior and it seems like all that progress has been erased, I’m beyond gutted for them. Hope this is temporary but I’ve got a horrid feeling this is 2016 again.

Aston Martin - I…again don’t know what to say…I mean Stroll did get P12 but the pace of that was horrendous. As bad as Mclaren. With all due respect Hulk, he isn’t their main driver so I understand his place. But I can’t bare Seb being P17 and I wouldn’t be surprised if he wanted nothing to do with the team after that lol 😂 (can everyone on stop saying Seb is gonna retire? Mans had a simulator built for him. He’s not going anywhere!! FUCK off with your retire bullshit! Where’s this for anyone else lol?) let’s hope these guys can pull themselves back up the grid! Where has that racing point pace gone?!

Redbull - I got nothing other than Karma did it’s sweet fucking job today!!! 😂🙌🏻😂

Bonus highlight - Alex! - can we just appreciate how well he did too?! For a car that’s also Merc powered, having a seemingly hard time for pace and not been in the car racing for year, He did a decent job. Outperformed his teammate! Glad he’s back!

It is clear that the Mercedes powered cars have problems. Called this be a PU problem? Potentially, but there has to be more wrong with Mclaren and AM for them be so atrocious. Either way. Mercedes are lacking on the PU front. Which is very concerning if we want our Silver Arrows up front.

I’m hoping for some minor improvements for next week for the teams (except Redbull lol) but realistically I don’t think we could see any changes until Australia. Even then the cars will still be needing major work.

Proud of everyone today on the track! Here’s to Saudi Arabia! Where we get Seb Seb back and Where my PTSD will probably kick in from the atrocity of last years race lol 💚

vro0m’s rewatch - 119/304

2013 German GP

This race marks the middle of the season already. Let's see if they got the exploding tyres under control. (Note to past me : as a matter of fact absolutely nothing is under control during this race but I like the optimism.)

Lewis is on pole again! Seb is starting right behind him followed by Webber and Raikkonen, Grosjean and Daniel on the third row, the Ferraris are on the fourth row with Massa outqualifiying Alonso, and Button and Hulkenberg on the fifth row with no time set in Q3. Where is Rosberg? Oh he's 11th. It's not even a penalty thing, he just didn't make it into Q3. Weird. 

Formation lap 

It seems Lewis has had issues during the weekend so we'll see how it goes… 

And they're racing… 

Oh no… Lewis goes to his right to defend against Seb but he finds himself caught in a Redbull sandwich, and they're both ahead of him. He's now put under pressure by Raikkonen, but the Lotus locks up. Oop. Massa spun. He's out. Many people pit. Grosjean claims he's much quicker than Raikkonen over radio. Lewis pits on lap 7. He's out in P10 behind Rosberg. He's told "big push now". Seb pits from the lead. He's out right in front of Rosberg. Webber gets called in. It's a long stop and no, wait. He's going out but the mechanics were gesturing... yeah he just lost a wheel. The Lotus mechanics have to jump out of its way as it rolls onto the pitlane. OH NO IT HIT SOMEONE WOW. It was a cameraman, he's been thrown to the ground! Everyone is rushing to him poor man. Fucking hell… Webber is still in the pits and the medics are attending to the cameraman, helped by the Mercedes mechanics as it happened in front of their garage...

We're 10 laps in. Lewis is close to Rosberg but he gets attacked by Raikkonen. He defends. Currently, Grosjean is in the lead. He hasn't pitted yet and he's making good lap times on the soft tyres, just like Alonso in P2. Jenson, P3, hasn't pitted yet either. Seb is the first of those who did. Behind him is Hulkenberg, also on old tyres. Then it's the three way fight between the Mercedes and Raikkonen for P6. Behind them are Maldonado and Bottas who also haven't pitted yet. Webber does come back out to the race, dead last in 21st, of course, with what must be a few minutes to make up for to reach the rest of the pack? The whole incident will be investigated as an unsafe release after the race. 

Seb overtakes Jenson for P3. Rosberg is told to push because Grosjean is about to pit and he'll come out in front of him if he doesn't close the gap to Hulkenberg. Not long after, Lewis says "Nico is not in the same race". He's still under pressure from Raikkonen. Back to Rosberg : "Nico, you're on a different strategy than Lewis, don't hold him up." But whatever Lewis says, he's not actually close enough to overtake him right now. Alonso pits. Lewis is getting closer to Nico. This is lasting way too long. Now he's close enough and Nico is just in the way. Grosjean also pits from the lead. And he’s indeed ahead of the Mercedes AND Hulkenberg thanks for nothing Rosberg, at least he finally let Lewis go. Also he holds up Raikkonen so actually thanks for that but not for long. Grosjean overtakes Jenson and he's in P2. Rosberg is called in for the first time. Lewis is already catching up to Hulkenberg but Raikkonen is also not far. In the meantime, Grosjean is actually closing to Seb. Hulkenberg pits. Lewis gets clean air but again, Raikkonen is within DRS range. Lewis says his tyres aren't holding together very well and he has no grip. And Raikkonen overtakes him. And now it's Alonso swooping on him. The Mercedes are still struggling massively with the tyre degradation. Lewis is quite literally spouting nonsense over the radio now. Seriously. He's saying he's not on the same tyres as the others, as we learn from the journalists that they've been put together in haste earlier in the week, I guess after the investigation that followed the last GP. I mean Lewis. I love you. But cut the bs. The car is bad for the tyres that's all. Head down and drive. And that's 20 laps. 

Alonso attacks Lewis. Lewis maintains position but barely. It's back and forth. Close racing. Lewis asks whether Nico has the same problem. Bono says "affirm Lewis, affirm Lewis, Nico suffering with same issues". Jenson pits from P4. Alonso still can't overtake Lewis. Damn he defends well to say he's struggling with tyres. "I'm pushing man, I'm pushing" he says slightly angrily over the radio. I guess he's been told to do so like he hasn't been defending like a lion for two laps now. We're told Alonso has been telling his team he's losing rear grip. Lewis pits. Damn he's slipping around coming in that's how little grip he had left. Unbelievable. They're switching to a three-stop strategy. He's out on another medium set, in P8. 

And an engine blows out. It's a Marussia. Thick white smoke over the track. OH MY GOD IT CAUGHT FIRE SO QUICKLY. Jules get out, get out! It stopped burning as soon as he turned it off, thank god. He's out safely. It's gonna be a Safety Car surely? No… Oh fucking hell! STOP THE FUCKING RACE! The crane is there but the car has started to roll back on the track and it’s in the middle of the track and the crane is just backing up beside it that's unbelievably dangerous wtf. Double yellows. The crane stops. It does not move onto the track. The Marussia is still going and we can see cars arriving in the background… thankfully by the time they get there the Marussia is leaving the track again, on the other side of it. It's still going. It runs over an ad sign. A marshal is running in its direction. But the ad sign stopped it. The Safety Car is out now. Finally. Seb pits. Grosjean pits. Raikkonen pits. That's the top 3. Alonso pits. A lot of them pit. Rosberg pits. 

We're told the cameraman who got hit by Webber's tyre is okay. 

Okay. Safety car in on lap 30. We're halfway through and here we go again! Lewis is closing on Hulkenberg. It's a struggle though. Damn. It's been laps. Hulkenberg pits. 

It's lap 40. Not much is happening, clearly. Grosjean pits from P2. Seb pits. That puts Raikkonen in the lead, followed by Alonso and Jenson. Lewis is up in P4 but it probably won't last with Seb on fresh tyres behind him. Seb is told to push to cover Raikkonen. Grosjean sets the fastest lap. Seb attacks Lewis who defends but a couple corners later it’s a done deal and Grosjean is coming now. And it's done. Lewis pits. He's out in 11th. He overtakes Rosberg for 10th. Jenson pits. It releases Seb in clear air.

For some reason the Lotus team has a dancing donkey.

Lewis is up in P9, closing on Di Resta. Raikkonen is still in the lead and they seem to be trying to make a two-stop strategy work but it's risky. Apparently his radio is having issues and the team asked him if he thinks they could make the tyres last to the end and he vehemently answered "I TOLD YOU ALREADY". So yeah. The other possibility is pitting for soft tyres and charging to the end. Just as Ted explains all that, he suddenly stops and exclaims "Oh no! No! The Lotus guys come into the pit! IT IS THE SOFT TYRES! AND IT'S KIMI RAIKKONEN'S TYRES!" Alonso pits at the same time. Seb is back in the lead. Raikkonen is now third and Alonso fourth. Perez is fifth, Jenson is sixth. It's a three way fight for P7 between Maldonado, Lewis, and Di Resta whom he just overtook. Ahhhh please be careful with these guys, Lewis… he's already attacking Maldonado but can't quite make it yet. 

It's lap 50, 10 laps to go. Come on. Lewis overtakes Maldonado this time. Next step is Jenson, no Perez as he's just been overtaken. The lead is close and caught in the traffic. 5 laps to go. Alonso is joining the fight at the front. Lewis is ahead of Perez. He might reach Jenson. 3 laps to go. The top 4 is separated by less than 5 seconds. Bono encourages Lewis. Final lap. Seb gets his own encouragement. LEWIS ATTACKS JENSON. Goooo. Yes! P5. 

And it's the end of the race! 

Seb kept Raikkonen at bay, Grosjean P3. It's Seb's first homewin! Lewis P5. 

Alonso has to park his car on the track, he's running out of fuel. 

Toto says they're still not happy with the tyre degradation. They're not happy with the cars dropping back either. They have to put their heads down and work hard. (It sounds like 2022 sigh) 

(casually touching his tit) (sorry) (not sorry)

Lewis says he got a bad start. They came on both sides of him so there was nowhere to go to defend. Of course Natalie Pinkham asks about his "not the same tyre as the others" comment. He chuckles. He looks away. He hums. He's uncomfortable.

"I have to hold myself back, I have nothing positive to say about these tyres".

He doesn't understand why they struggle so much on them. He says it's a shame because the team is working very hard and they're doing a good job and it's a good car, clearly, but for some reason it just doesn't work on these tyres. She talks about a young drivers test that Mercedes is not taking part in? I guess it has to do with the Pirelli testing? (Yep, I checked, as a punishment they don’t get to take part in it).

Lewis fumbles with his words a bit, he still really hates this type of situations. He says the fact that they got suspended from it doesn't help but it’s the way it is and at least they got some runnings when they did the testing with Pirelli.

They just have to keep pushing forward, he's just gonna pray and hope that the new tyres will work on their cars.

She says in the positives he finished in 5th and overtook his old team-mate. He laughs dryly.

He says yeah the only positive is that they got points. In the last race they had a chance to close the gap to Seb and then the tyres blow out happened but at least he got some points and then this time he had another chance at getting him but they're just far too quick. "I guess I'm still fourth or fifth in the championship" and lost more ground to them. He hopes in the next race they get a better chance.

But the journalists believe, and I gotta say I agree with them, that the issue isn't so much the tyres but rather the fact that the Mercedes is hard on them. Redbull and Lotus are making them work, so they should improve the car rather than wait for tyres that might benefit them. 

[f1-disaster-bi]

So after posting the video of him walking towards lance without assistance Lando realises he’s essentially officially come out and has a mini freak out that he’s now the first out driver on the grid. And when he’s back racing the interviewers all want to ask about if it’s a conflict of interest that he’s dating his trainer and did the accident cause it and blah blah blah and Lando blows his lid because he’s here to drive and do what he loves and that isn’t affected by his sexuality, his boyfriend, or his accident.

Lando would absolutely have a little panic!

At first he's just so excited, and didn't really know Charlotte (who was with him that day) was filming it, he just wanted her there to see his progress too, and when he sees it and sees how Lance looks so proud and surprised and how he just holds Lando so softly and kisses him as they both tear up happily, he just has to post it

And the comments start pouring in, and headlines are circuling about 'Lando Norris: Recovery to Coming Out', 'Norris's Secret Boyfriend', 'F1 Takes 'We Race As One' Too Far With Gay Driver', and despite their being a huge amount of positive press...Lando is overwhelmed and panicking but Lance just takes his hand and tells him nothing matters but the two of them, and to just focus on his continued recovery and Lance

And that helps, until he's back racing and his interviews should be about his race and how he managed a p6 finish after starting p14 in his first race, but it's just all pushy questions about his relationship and Lance, and was it because of the accident they got together and maybe its because Lando had no one else or Lance is taking advantage, and before Charlotte can tug him away, Lando looses it as politely as he can, telling them that his relationship is none of their business and he won't say anything beyond that they are happy, and interviews should be about his racing abilities not his boyfriend and false accusations that reek of homophobia disguised as journalistic questions
