annoying little brothers | f1

female driver x f1 drivers (platonic) (same age as daniel so 33)

part 2 part 3

Y/N L/N BEING THE FUNNIEST DRIVER ON THE GRID

The video starts of with a press conference from the United States Grand Prix. Y/n was seated with Charles, Pierre, Daniel and Sebastian her being in the middle of all the men who she considered her brothers.

She was listening to all the questions the men were receiving from how they thought they were going to do, how’s the team doing, etc. But when a reported finally asked her a question, she completely blanked.

“Sorry, I was just thinking about my son. We were supposed to get breakfast together and he hasn’t texted me back. I haven’t seen Lando all day.” Y/‘ said making the drivers and reporters laugh.

“When did you adopt Lando? I wasn’t aware.” Daniel played along.

“2019. He was actually lost when I met him. It was during the Australian Grand Prix, his first f1 race. I found him and we did the Melbourne walk together and I’ve just kind of adopted ever since. So if any of you bully my son, I’m coming after you.” Y/n explained.

“He’s probably texting you right now saying ‘stop embarrassing me, mom!’” Sebastian went on.

“Wait, he’s over there!” Pierre spotted the Brit rushing towards their direction.

“He’s alive!” Charles cheered.

Finally, Lando arrived to their interview area with a box from a a bakery in his hand. “Sorry, I have to drop this off. We’ll get breakfast tomorrow. I got you pastries.” Lando gave Y/n the box and a hug then he was off since he was late for his interview.

“You’ve raised your son well.” The reporter joked.

“That was all me, I needed no help.”

The next clip was a fan video from 2021. Y/n had just finished her date with a guy and now she was signing autographs and taking photos with a group of girls. The girls had just finished their meals at a restaurant when they spotted the f1 driver leaving with a guy. The politely asked for a photo, which y/n was more than glad to take. Her date stepped aside to give them a moment.

“Sorry to interrupt your date.” A girl apologized for her and all her friends.

“Nothing to be sorry about, honey. I’m actually nervous because I don’t know how the date went. I’m horrible at first dates so this is kinda making me less stressed.” Y/n admitted. The girls laughed as y/n signed a girls phone case.

“Has he met Lando?” Another girl asked knowing how close y/n and lando are.

“Not yet. I’m afraid that Lando might scare him off. Everyone on the grid might, especially seb. He will definitely give him one of those ‘treat her right or I will run you over’ speeches.” Y/n signed another phone case.

“Does he knows you’re famous?”

“Oh god, no! I told him I was unemployed and that a sugar daddy was giving me money. I’m surprised he still agreed to come on this date with me.” Y/n chuckled.

Months later, the guy ended up being y/n’s boyfriend. He even attended the British Grand Prix where he finally met Lando, who was actually the one to tell him to treat y/n right or he would run him over.

The next clip started off with the intro to grill the grid. The challenge was to guess the driver’s numbers, something that y/n was semi confident about.

“So we start off with my man, Danny, number three.” She wrote down on her clipboard. “Four, my son, Lando. Also ever since I met Lando I’ve been seeing the number four quite often. It’s scary actually. Can’t decide if Lando put a curse on me or not.”

“Would he do that?”

“He shouldn’t,” y/n raised her voice slightly. “Anyways, next is … oh! Seb! I don’t know why I couldn’t think of him right away. Then we have latifi at number six then kimi at seven.” She continued writing down the names.

“Nine ….Mazepin.” She fought the urge to roll her eyes since her and the driver were never on good terms.

“Ten, my favorite frenchie well one of, we treat everyone nice here, gasly.” Y/n winked at the camera. “Eleven, the mexican minister of defense, Perez. And then we have me! Thirteen!”

“Do you think Lando got your number right?”

“I don’t doubt him ever.”

“Thirteen, my mother! Everyone better get that right.” Lando pointed at the camera menacingly.

“Fourteen, Alonzo. Sixteen, Leclerc Charles. Eighteen, stroll and twenty two!” Y/n sang the number in the tune of taylor swift’s song. “Yuki! Thirty one, Esteban, my other frenchie. Thirty three, max does he have a middle name verstappen.”

“Have you noticed that you haven’t gotten any wrong yet?”

“I’m just the best, that’s why.” Y/n laughed. “Forty four, the seven time world champion, sir lewis hamilton. Fourty seven, mick mick mick. I love to say his name.”

Y/n had completely forgotten she had to be writing the names down. She was having too much fun.

“Fifty five, carlos smooth operator sainz jr. sixty three, the man with two first names, russell george.” Y/n said as she looked down at the numbers on the paper.

“Do you know his middle name?”

Y/n gasped. “Is it another first name?”

“I believe it’s William.”

“Three names!? It sounds so british.” Y/n chuckled. “Um, seventy seven valtteri, right?” Y/n saw the interviewer nod. “I was getting worried my streak would be broken. And ninety nine, antonio!”

“You got all of them!” Everyone in the room cheered.

“Did anyone else get them all?” Y/n asked.

“Daniel did.”

“Of course. He’s good with numbers.”

The next clip was from the same grill the grid video but it was a blooper. Lando had arrived right as y/n finished filming and handed her a water bottle.

“Did you get my number?” Lando asked curiously.

“Yeah, ninety five, right? Cause you’re a McQueen fan.” Y/n teased as she grabbed the bottle from lando’s hand.

“Yeah, you remembered!” Lando played along “how did she really do?” He asked.

“She got them all right.”

“Really? I’ve got a smart mother!” Lando high fived the woman.

“It’s because I’ve got a photographic memory.” Y/n nodded with the most serious face on.

“Do you really?” Lando asked. He was surprised to hear that.

“No, I just love to lie.”

The next clip started with Daniel and Lando standing next to boards with their 2022 rankings. As predicted, Daniel and Lando’s part of the interview was mostly filled with them drawing over each other’s pictures.

Daniel them knocked over Lando’s rankings to the ground. “That’s how I feel.”

“That was the worst timing ever. Y/n is walking this way.” Lando told Daniel, who immediately picked up the board.

“Are those your rankings?” Y/n asked as she approached the duo. She then noticed that the setup and quickly apologized to the camera man. “Sorry, I’m just curious now.”

“Are you proud of me?” Lando asked, standing next to her and throwing his arm over her shoulder.

“When am I not? Wait, except that time you pushed me into my birthday cake.” Y/n pinched his side. “Can I see the pen?” She asked the guys, Lando gave her his.

“She’s adding to our masterpieces. This piece will be worth millions years from now.” Daniel said.

Y/n then scribbled little stars around Lando’s head and then signed it at the top. “Actually you both look great in your pictures. Did they use photoshop?”

“Excuse me, this is all natural.”

“Y/n! Hi, hello. What’s going on here?” Martin brundle asked the woman as she walked with her mom and pr manager, Lucy.

“Martin! It’s been a while, nothing much. How are you?” Y/n hugged the former racing driver. “This is my mom, she’s been wanting to meet you.”

“Mrs. l/n, hello. Welcome, how are you?” Martin greeted the older woman.

“Great. I’m here supporting my girl. It’s been a wonderful weekend.” Y/n’s mom smiled.

“Are you aware that you have a grandson that drives for McLaren?” Martin asked making all three ladies laugh.

“Yes, Lando is a very lovely young man.”

“How does it feel to have a daughter and grandson in f1?” Martin asked in a serious tone.

“Amazing. I’m super proud of both of them.”

“Thank you ladies for your time. Have a wonderful day.” Martin smiled at them, but before he could leave, y/n gave him a hug goodbye.

“Take care, Martin!” Y/n waved to the man and left with her mom and Lucy.

“She wins everything. Give her all the trophies. Everything is hers.” Martin said to the camera.

The final clip was consisted of y/n after a race getting interviewed.

“Do you often see your father?” Someone asked from the back.

“No, actually we’re just good friends.”

“What’s your opinion on the president of the United States?” Asked the same person.

“I don’t think about him.”

“What’s going on between max verstappen and lewis hamilton?”

“I don’t know, I just work here.”

[mattydemise]

I’ve been focusing on grinding myself down to dust with heavy compound lifts every day. Yesterday I did some cardio, stretched out and did some pushups, and then squatted until my quads were jelly, after that I did heavy shrugs with my ez-curl bar, t-bar rows, overhead kettlebell tricep extensions, and then dips. I’m doing a few compound exercises/lifts every workout for better overall strength and fitness. This last week my sleep has been phenomenal and it feels like some of the healthiest, most restful sleep I’ve gotten in my life. Heavy lifts, boxing training, and eating fucking clean. Lowering the amount of sodium in my diet has been beneficial too. None of that near midnight snacking.

I went out for dinner to the local Mexican place with a friend on Thursday night which went really well. We ended up chatting for about 4 and a half hours. She was drinking margaritas and I was drinking these nice Aussie non-alcoholic IPAs because that’s all they had in the way of alcohol-free beers. They’re the only local place that has the ambiance and feel of a Melbourne venue. It always reminds me of the two Mexican restaurants I used to live near in the Northern suburbs of Melbourne back when I was at university. As we were talking I inevitably got asked about my previous relationship and as always I just swerve that line of enquiry. Afterwards we stood outside in the cold and continued chatting as we watched the cars go by. That was my favourite part of the evening. It’s one of my favourite things to do. Just spending time with someone out in the night air. It doesn’t have to be romantic but it’s evocative and the cold is revitalising. Soon it’s going to be winter again and every morning the grass will frost over and a heavy mist will roll in off of the sea. I don’t hate the winter but the wonder it used to have has waned and the summers hold new life and a freedom that appeals to me. I’m imaging riding my motorcycle up to Queensland, shaving my head, getting some head tattoos, and cruising up and down the coast in the warm northern weather until Victoria warms up again. A man and the open road. It’s all I need.

The Rise of Food Trailers in Melbourne

Melbourne, the culinary capital of Australia, has witnessed a remarkable surge in the popularity of food trailers. These mobile eateries have become a beloved part of the city's vibrant food scene, offering a diverse array of cuisines and catering to the ever-growing demand for convenient, delicious, and unique dining experiences.

Melbourne's acceptance of international flavours and its voracious thirst for culinary explorations are demonstrated by the array of cuisines on offer.

Convenience and Mobility

The portability of food trailers in Melbourne is one of their main benefits. These mobile, tiny kitchens can move around the city with ease, setting up shop at busy marketplaces, festivals, office buildings, and construction sites, among other places. Thanks to its adaptability, foodies can savour a variety of gastronomic treats without being restricted to one place.

A Breeding Ground for Culinary Creativity

Food trailers are now a haven for entrepreneurialism and creative cooking. The idea of a food trailer has been adopted by many gifted chefs and food enthusiasts as a means of showcasing their abilities and realising their own culinary visions. Aspiring restaurateurs may test their ideas and develop a devoted customer base at these mobile restaurants, which provide a low-risk and affordable platform for doing so before potentially opening brick-and-mortar locations.

The Social Experience

In addition to serving delicious food, food trucks in Melbourne have developed into a community centre. Around these mobile kitchens, people congregate to create thriving communities of food enthusiasts. The laid-back ambiance makes people talk to each other and builds a sense of community amongst guests. Food trailers now serve as gathering places for coworkers, friends, and families, fostering bonds that go beyond simple nourishment.

Conclusion

The rise of food trailers in Melbourne is a testament to the city's insatiable appetite for culinary adventures and its embrace of innovation. These mobile eateries have not only enriched the city's food scene but have also provided a platform for aspiring chefs and entrepreneurs to showcase their talents.

Post 2: Lygon Street Foodscape

Carlton’s Lygon Street foodscape is recognised by its predominantly Italian culinary culture, often being referred to as Melbourne’s ‘Little Italy’. The strip comprises of numerous Italian restaurants, cafes, gelaterias, bars, and shops. Whilst other cuisines occupy some space along the strip such as French patisseries, or Mexican and Greek options, Italian cuisine continues to dominate the area since the rise in Italian migrants post-WWII (Hajek et al., 2023). 

As seen in Figure 1, the lengthy Lygon Street strip preserves a bustling and busy ambience, especially at night. The sounds of cars accelerating, street traffic, plates clattering, socialising, Italian accents and music are prevalent along the street. There are a variety of places to choose from, ranging from stereotypical Italian restaurants with sentimental energy to elegant and costly rooftop bars with Italian inspired flavours. 

Figure 1

I have had many experiences visiting this foodscape, given my Italian background. Although three generations of my family have now lived in Melbourne, exposure to elements of Italy have been preserved. Lygon Street has remained a central gathering point for my friends and family due to its inner-suburban nature and memorable flavours and scents. Seeing each other, sharing meals together, tasting and smelling the recognisable herbs and spices in a familiar and comfortable setting has allowed a sense of nostalgia to occur every visit to Lygon Street.

Furthermore, family traditions and frequent visits to Lygon Street have promoted my own aspirations to one day visit Italy. Whilst Lygon Street may encompass stereotypes or appropriations of Italian cuisine, this is the closest form of ‘Italy’ I have experienced. 

Overall, I primarily enjoy visiting Lygon Street due to the memories I have associated with this foodscape.

15 Best Restaurants That Have Vegan Options (in the world)

Veganism is a lifestyle choice that eliminates animal products from one’s diet and lifestyle. This includes all animal-derived foods such as eggs, dairy, honey, and gelatin, as well as clothing and personal care products that are made from animal products or tested on animals.

People often choose vegan restaurants for ethical and environmental reasons. Eating vegan reduces the demand for animal products, which in turn reduces the number of animals raised and slaughtered for food. Additionally, veganism is an environmentally friendly choice as plant-based diets require fewer resources to produce than animal-based diets.

Eating at vegan restaurants can also be beneficial for your health. Eating plant-based meals regularly can help you get the nutrients you need without the cholesterol and saturated fat found in animal products. Additionally, vegan meals tend to be lower in calories than animal-based meals, making them a great choice for those looking to lose weight.

Some of the most popular vegan restaurants around the world include By Chloe in New York City, Veggie Grill in Los Angeles, and Mana Food Bar in Chicago.

Additionally, in Europe, popular vegan restaurants include Cloud Cakes in London and Green Rabbit in Paris.

In Asia, popular vegan restaurants include VeganBurg in Singapore and Loving Hut in Taiwan.

In South America, popular vegan restaurants include Vegans of Buenos Aires in Argentina and Vegarte in Peru.

The surge in veganism has reached incredible heights, from the renowned Michelin Star restaurant in New York City going completely plant-based to Burger King’s vegan franchises. Businesses have picked up on this trend and the potential it holds, and we are all for it! A survey from Cornell University reports that one out of every 10 Americans do not consume meat. However, vegan restaurants are not only for vegans and vegetarians. For all the food-lovers and globetrotters, we’ve compiled a list of the top vegan eateries around the globe. The quality of their dishes is remarkable, even surpassing that of Foie Gras and caviar.

The restaurant KLE traces its roots back to the German Sauerklee, a plant with a long history. Local ingredients are used to make mouth-watering dishes, and the Spanish-born chef Zineb Hattab adds her own twist by combining Moroccan and Mexican flavours.

KLE is not only a one Michelin Star restaurant, but has also been awarded the prestigious Michelin Green Star for their commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices, such as not serving animal products and using organic produce.

Everyone can enjoy the amazing quality and flavour of their vegan-friendly dishes, complemented by a 100% vegan wine list. In a relaxed and intimate atmosphere, visitors can savour dishes such as Panna pistachio ravioli and violet and orange blossom meringue for dessert.

Joia has been at the forefront of plant-based dining since its inception in 1989, with 80% of its menu now being vegan. In 1996, it was the first vegetarian European restaurant to be honoured with a Michelin Star and recently won a Michelin Green Star.

Chef Pietro Leemann creates dishes through a careful process of experimentation and exploration, while opting to leave out all meat and restrict animal products such as dairy and eggs to a maximum of 20% of his recipes.

The restaurant also puts a strong emphasis on eco-friendliness and sustainability, with customer health being a priority. Joia avoids using heavily processed items, such as gluten and sugar, in its dishes.

It’s no surprise that Vegan Beat is so highly-rated by both locals and travelers! With a Tripadvisor Travelers Choice Award for 2022 and top ratings from Happy Cow and Google, this vegan street food restaurant offers a unique fusion of Mediterranean and cross-cultural cuisine.

Their signature side dish – spiralized potatoes with beet sauce – is the talk of the town, and the menu also features mouthwatering options like sweet potato burgers and mushroom gyros.

Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is casual, so vegans and meat-eaters alike come back to Vegan Beat again and again!
