After driving for like 4ever yesterday. I was able to score this Garrett turbo to replace mine! I’m so stoked! Now i just need a new wastegate actuator which I’m trying to decide if I want the Turbosmart or Forged actuator. Decisions decisions.. 🤔

I figured I’d throw some pics in from yesterday too! It was quite the journey!

I do want to give a big THANK YOU to all the people that helped me get a new turbo. You’re all amazing and I couldn’t do it without you! I have THE best followers ever and y’all make everything worth it! So thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm sorry but the irony of Nico calling Max unprofessional is sending me so bad like sir there's an entire garage full of people, who were literally in the trenches trying to survive the Brocedes fallout while just doing their jobs, who might have a few things to say about your (& Lewis') level of professionalism at that time 😭✋️

#f1 #formula 1 #formula one #max verstappen #nico rosberg #lewis hamilton #brocedes #like niki lauda had to try multiple times to literally parent trap them to try and get them on speaking terms it never worked #because one would arrive they'd see the other and the other would leave #& if i remember correctly the garage crew would swap around from race to race as a like see we aren't favouring anybody gesture 😭#and thats no shade to nico because it was both of them contributing to that environment #his comment re max is just making me laugh #like if i was a part of the pr/media team - which is a part of the degree I'm working on irl - at merc that year i would've lost the plot #like its insane reflecting on it nearly a decade later but the poor souls just trying to do their job in the eye of that storm #truly gods strongest soldiers #ngl the professional comment irks me a bit because its not like max is engaging in inappropriate work place behaviour #he's engaging in another aspect of racing that his involvement raises awareness of & that makes racing more accessible #& we all know how inaccessible not only getting into racing is but also to continue to pursue the further along you go #theres so many stories of 1 sibling giving up racing so the other can keep going because the family can't afford for them both to race #its a huge financial strain & we only see a handful of drivers talk about that & try to do something to change it #and nicos fellow sky sports commentators are routinely unprofessional on so many levels #additionally max had a lot of valid reasons to be annoyed at his team today #but alas he's not english so he's ungrateful #i hate that drivers can't criticise their teams or car without immediately being branded as bratty & ungrateful #ESPECIALLY WHEN THEIR JOB IS TO GIVE FEEDBACK #you can see the double standards from sky when say Lando or George have complaints with their team/car v the likes of Max and Yuki #especially Yuki my god the things i would do to get the British media to leave him alone #this was a jokey post at one point and then became a rant whoops lmao #I'll leave it that before i write an actual essay here 😭✋️

I can't believe they had the gall to title this as "Alonso 'proud' of 'well executed' race in Monza" when he looks like he's about to jump off a bridge the whole interview 😭

#LOOK AT HIS SAD EYES UGHHHHH #IT FEELS SO PAINFUL #the way he keeps practically forcing himself to say hes 'proud and happy' when its soooo clear hes disappointed #he keeps being like 'well this part was good' and then instantly says smth depressing again #i think the most painful part was his response to what he's looking forward to next race #he said smth like 'well i hope we can figure out what's wrong because something is really wrong' UGHHHH #ASTON FIX YOU CAR I CANNOT KEEP WATCHING HIS MENTAL STATE DETERIORATE #look at his eyebrows and eyes he cant hide the sadness #no bcs i saw the title and was like oh? it wasnt as bad as i thought itd be?#and then i watched it and it killed me #f1 #formula 1 #we do a little bit of f1 #fernando alonso #2024 italian gp #2024 italian grand prix

Finally watched Lap of Legends...and even though Williams fucked over Logan, this is something that they can never take away from him. Ever. This was his time to shine and boy he fucking did

Also...this was a cool ass shot

#f1 #logan sargeant #lap of legends #yes i know the whole thing was outshined by alex's resigning i KNOW that #but STILL #this shit was cool as FUCK #also logan looked so GOOD here like shit #but yeah this project was COOL AS HELL oh my god #oh...i'm so glad this was a part of logan's legacy #fuck yeah you funky little american #god i was smiling the whole time watching it #and the words that the wdcs gave logan at the end...especially mansell's words #“you have to realize you're one of twenty drivers in the world driving the most fantastic stallion of race car”#like yes #logan was one of twenty drivers #he was an f1 driver...and no one can take that from him #but also villeneuve's words about driving not being fun anymore and second guessing himself...oof #those hit a little bit harder #but this was fun #and very cool #i'm glad i watched it

#he’s so emotional and it’s not surprising #like imagine having one of the greatest seasons ever in f1 and it’s just over #and you have to try and one up it #and he for sure can #but like he’s just stepping out of a car that was him #that car and him were just a match made and it’s like a part of max #im emotional #max verstappen #rambles #f1 #formula 1 #red bull racing

Genuine question as I am curious — I know it’s pretty obvious with his expressions/ body language that Daniel seemed shy/insecure(?) about having his braces, but has he ever outright said anything about feeling that way with them? Just out of curiosity as I am new around here!

“I feel very different in terms of looks. Fortunately, experience also bought me better looks. I’m not really too fond of showing people photos of me when I was younger”

#well he doesn’t exactly say he was self-conscious of his braces but he was definitely very self-conscious about how he looked #it’s always very interesting to me the way Daniel talks about his younger self #it’s so different from how other f1 drivers talk about their early days #he’s so self-critical of younger him that I wish he was a bit more forgiving of younger him #the way he’s admitted he was never a standout talent during his karting days #that he was so hesitant to get involved in battles that his dad got mad at him #the way on the gypsy tales podcast he talks about Motocross riders being fearless and how he doesn’t have that until jase interrupts him -#to say how how mad he is because just a few days ago he was throwing a car around on a street circuit at some 300kph #the way in this video with will he describes himself walking into the paddock like a ‘headless chick’#the way he has said so many times he was scared to move away from home. how uncertain he was he would ever succeed #and then that one video towards the end of 2022 when he says ‘I was just Daniel then’ in reference to his younger self #like he has such a distinct way of looking at his younger self. like he views that part of him almost as a separate entity from the him now #and I guess that’s because it took a lot of work and years to build that confidence of becoming Daniel ricciardo #a confidence he got as he managed to survive the shark tank of the red bull junior academy #a confidence he got from beating his 4x wdc teammate. from winning the most insane races #and that confidence then getting completely decimated in the space of a few months in 2022 #and even now the more he says he is confident you can still see that tiny hesitancy #how every time he gets a good result you see how he yearns to lean back into his confident Daniel schtick #and he may just completely embrace it soon anyway <3 #daniel ricciardo #anon ask

HWLR: Future AU (Part 2!) ✨

Axle Spoiler, son of now retired former champion Striker Spoiler, has become a racer himself. There are big expectations for him, and often times, he’s not sure if he’s meeting them. While his father is undeniably proud of him, the public seem so critical of each of his performances, and the comparisons seem to endlessly pile up as more races happen. He is also the most socially aware of what is happening, and recognises that his friends are struggling just as much as him, even if the pressure they face could be perceived as “less”. He cares, but can’t resist teasing them a little, treating everything with an “I told you so” mentality.

Bryce “Brights” Hikari is constantly putting her creative mind to good use. Her primary career is to design the race courses for all of Hot Wheels City’s biggest races and tournaments, but she also does photography, and visual design for the cars, working alongside Spark, who handles the mechanical side. Brights is as bubbly and bright as they come, but she’s also self-aware of how lonely things have become, and that everyone else is closer to eachother than they are with her. But she finds it best that she not mention it just yet… everything is so stressful, why add more issues to everyone else’s plates?

Simon “Sidecar” Cotter has always been great at generating hype for other people, and he seems to have embraced that role even further. Working under reporter and announcer Speedy Getaway, Sidecar has quickly become the most popular commentator in Hot Wheels City! The public love his enthusiastic personality, and he seems unbiased, for the most part… until Axle is brought into the picture, as his support and enthusiasm becomes unprofessional.

Feel free to ask questions regarding this AU!

actually wait i'm still angry with how dts ran with the storylines it ran. someone in redbull/alphatauri management decided that yuki wasn't ready despite approaching his third year on the time and instead they put pressure on an f1 rookie and then gave both of them a dogshit car

then proceeded to mentally torture nyck to the point where he was getting desperate, making him crash out during races

both yuki and nyck deserved so much better, alphatauri was literally stated to be the testing ground for future redbull drivers and they had no faith in the one that has been with them? yuki is going to make like alex and leave the team for another backmarker team and revive the hell out of them because this is so bullshit

and once alphatauri got the feedback they needed from nyck, they dropped him and pulled daniel in to do the same to checo

and no, it was not daniel that ultimately got alphatauri's eighth place. yuki alone had 17 points, one more than alfaromeo combined. yes, daniel's 7th place in mexico gave hope, but even if nyck stayed at the bottom of the driver's championship with 0 points, yuki would've beaten alfaromeo single-handedly

#nightfalcon posts #formula 1 #f1 #drive to survive #nyck de vries #yuki tsunoda #personally i think australia is where it all started going downhill for nyck and miami made it worse #and i'm going to blame alphatauri for making nyck think he was better than a driver who has experience #i think part of the reason why i hated the mid season drop was because the car was so shit #and this team would've been bottom of the championship until the end #yuki was not doing p11 for fun #now if yuki was fucking off onto the podium every race while nyck was crashing out i'd see cause for concern #but this was so low for redbull but what do we expect #anyways i'm mad and i nearly deleted insta so instead i vented here
