#real car fans please leave me alone im having blorbos in my brain time

[ragnars-tooth]

How do i even begin to explain the appeal of f1 to the uninitiated...... it's like if highschool drama was in a car and also everyone made wayyy too much money.

ANYWAYS YES. CARS. THEY GO FAST. David's your new rookie on the grid who came out of nowhere. Lucy is the youngest world championship winner in history and thinks all these old people are stupid. Her mum is an ex-driver turned engineer/team principal. Arthur's somewhere! Jodie and Tam are bitter exes after she won the constructors with him and unceremoniously lost her seat at the end of the 2021 season (and had to resort to joining... one of the not so good teams <3 (i love you williams you're doing your best sweetie)).

Zanna was hired to whip her team into shape at the request of their owner - Mr Henry Bacon - who's putting the last of his big bucks behind the team. If they can't pull in the points this year, they're ALL out of a job! But, of course, Jodie has been driving her car for soooo long. What does this random lady know that she doesn't?? Problems ensue! (then they kiss about it)

Tam and David are also kissing about their rivalry. Maybe there's overlap! Sophie minds her own business and is probably the happiest person in the paddock as a result.

The relationship chart I could draw you is sooo convoluted.

(also tam races under the scottish flag (regardless of the liscences/whatever that mean all british drivers actually use the union jack regardless of nationality). this is because you are losing your mind if you think tam is doing anything else)

(immediate edit bc you Will listen to my random character choices - generally the driver numbers don't have any big significance. BUT: 4 was initially going to be david's (4 Thoushall drive), then i just simply thought it was funnier if he was cursing the team with number 13 after 4 was already taken (hrmmm... weirdly by that guy he kinda looks like. i'm sure it's nothing...).

7 for sophie bc she could always do with a bit of luck 💀. Lucy is 1 bc she's the most recent gp winner and excersising her right to it. )
