#like I'm lowkey excited for a new helmet design and to see him in the williams fireproofs next year

[f1-stuff]

Hey! I just wanted to drop by and say how much I love your writing! i feel so much I feel so numb is the first F1 fic I ever read when I first got into the sport summer of last year. I reread it this afternoon because I'm feeling VERY VERY BAD about Carlos leaving Ferrari on Sunday and reading that beautiful piece brought me so much comfort and hope.

Charlos and your fic are really what got me into the sport so thank you so much for sharing your amazing works and I hope you keep it going!

☺️☺️☺️

Ahhh thank you, I'm so honored to have been a part of what brought you into charlos and f1! I'm sorry that things are sorta 🥲 right now...but it's okay to feel emotional 🥺❤️ - I got into f1 because of Charlos, and I have no illusions that it will be the same for me anymore with them apart. It's sad that this stage of Carlos’ career is coming to a close, but personally I've been feeling lately a lot of hope and excitement for what's to come.

We'll have fun changes to look forward to, and I'm also comforted by the fact that Williams are also quite good at social media/fan engagement - they're probably one of the best on the grid imo. So I'm glad we'll still get to see a lot of him and discover what he and Alex will be like as teammates, as well as what he and Charles will be like not as teammates... 😆

I think the teammate tension between them, while essential to their dynamic thus far and compelling at times, will be refreshing to be rid of. The Ferrari brand and the way the media/fans highlighted their drama put them under such a microscope. Like Charles has said recently, they will now get to spend time together just because they want to (and will get to race each other without the complicated ‘teammate’ caveat), which I think we’ll find to be more fulfilling in many ways and will bring them closer 🙏💕
