#that gives me more ocon vibes for some reason

[redflagracing]

Anyone have more Lando ideas? 👀

[magicalonsomanydances]

Back again to rank my latest feelings for the F1 Grid

Carlos Sainz Jr. - this will never change I will love him until I die I do not care what car he drives he will be my fav top step or DNF. I am the definition of ride or die when it comes to this absolutely pure wholesome hottie whose character somehow manages to outshine his good looks which is saying something given he literally looks like a fairytale prince

Fernando Alonso - can't have sweet without the spicy and I love this filterless agent of chaos whose persistence and ability to outperform his car throughout his career have made him the legend that he is

George Russell - a wholesome little crumpet who I would die for. He's so sweet and sincere while simultaneously being posh and classy. I love it all the more because his background is pretty working class

Esteban Ocon - speaking of working class gotta round out my trio of drivers with humble origins with the one who worked his way up on the sacrifice and belief of his family. Ocon is a working class hero and I will be an Estie Bestie perpetually unless he fucks up Ollie. This is his last chance to not lash out at a teammate because he'll clearly have the position of seniority at Haas next year so no reasons to fight Ollie Bear. If he hurts Ollie I may have to give him up but it will be painful and I will cry about it.

Oscar Piastri - I love pastries and Oscar is no exception. He's absolutely showing all the potential to be a legend of his generation. He's the second coming of Kimi Raikkonen and I'm here for it. Also much like Carlos and George he has absolutely impeccable gentleman vibes and because he's Aussie it comes across even a little more down to earth, like if he cycled past while you were having a flat tire or something he'd stop and try to help

Ollie Bearman - yes I know technically he isn't on the grid but like I lost Logan this week so let me have this. He's a sweet wholesome little nugget who I would die for. Just a little floof. And he's a promising little floof too!

Charles Leclerc - the more I watch this sport the more I realize that the Leclerc haters are insane when they say he's only popular because he's attractive and drives a Ferrari. The man is a bloody good race car driver and that's enough as is. His looks and his loyalty to the prancing horse are just bonuses.

Sergio Perez - help me Sergio Kenobi you're my only hope SO PLEASE START CLOSING THAT GAP BETWEEN YOU AND MAX it's embarrassing and I do NOT need him losing that seat because then who will I root for as a "home" driver. I've lost Logan, if I lose you too Checo I will have to switch to a different continent because I REFUSE to support the Canadian Nepo Baby who's wasting a perfectly good seat that someone else could be making much better use of

Max Verstappen - my brother in trauma. I swear I have the most sibling-core feelings for Max. As in I love and support him but also can't stand to see him win all the time. I cannot compliment him without adding some spice of insult to the compliment. We're two traumatized kids from different families with hard ass dads. Hence why on a personal level Max is probably like #3 for me. I'm very emotionally attached to that Dutch menace but I don't want to see him win more than 3 or 4 races a year

Daniel Ricciardo - if I lose Checo I will be claiming the man whose speech to his younger self wakes me up every morning as my home racer because good lawd he loves Texas lol. And who can have a top ten of drivers and NOT include the ray of fucking sunshine that is Danny Ric. He just fills the world with joy and tomfoolery

[f0point5]

“I feel like there’s a few drivers in f2 or who were in f2 that would dress pretty out there just for attention. There seem to be some real personalities over there”

As an avid F2 watcher I would love to know what vibes you get from some of them. Ik you’ve said you don’t watch frequently but that almost makes it more interesting tbh

This is a bit unfair like it’s purely on vibes because I don’t follow their interviews much at all apart from Bearman and Antonelli but…

Maloney - sweetheart who’s going to end up annoying me for no legitimate reason. Like I’m just going to start disliking him randomly, I don’t even know why.

Bortoleto - the rich kid vibes roll off this guy in waves I don’t know anything about his family but he’s either from generational wealth or he is the favourite child of both his parents. That’s the aura.

Aron - Has a bit of an Ocon complex. It might just be a maturity thing but he gives off the vibes that he spends a lot of time ruminating on how unfair life is.

Hauger - I don’t remember why I don’t like him but I don’t. I had a reason but It was definitely petty.

Hadjar - Gives golden retriever energy but I must have the vibe wrong because Helmut quote likes him so he must be a black cat deep down.

These are the only ones I even sort of follow in f2 because I really can’t afford to be deep diving 😂 but also I was quite pumped to watch it this year but as a series I just find the car differential so big after watching f1 I find it hard to get into so I don’t follow it as closely as I thought I would.

Please ignore these if you don’t feel like answering them or you already answered them ❤️ Fancy a fun question chain to pass around f1blr?? Over to you, lovely!

Name (or what you want to be called on tumblr)

Where are you from?

Where do you live?

Any pets?

Favorite driver(s) currently on the grid, and why?

Favorite driver(s) not currently on the grid and why?

Favorite romantic driver pairing(s) (e.g. Maxiel, Carlando)

Driver you’re most attracted to physically

Driver whose personality you like best

Favorite driver friendship(s)

Favorite team principal

Favorite team

Least favorite team, if any

Driver(s) you dislike, if any

If you’re a fic writer: if you could only write about one f1 pairing for the rest of your life who are you choosing?

Please send this to 10 (or more!) other F1 tumblr users that you love and want to get to know better 🫶

Name (or what you want to be called on tumblr):

Dima! although fun fact, the name Dima is as in the diminutive of Dmitri 🫣 When I made this account I didn't wanna use my real name, and I was figuring out my gender identity back then (but I knew I was leaning more towards the masculine side of things) and I just loved the name Dmitri so I chose Dima since it can be both feminine and masculine

Where are you from?

I don't really try to hide it but I'm not gonna outwardly say it :p I can speak Arabic tho, I'll give ya that

Where do you live?

[Insert Wherever I May Roam by Metallica]

Any pets?

YES! I have a little kitty cat, she's my love and delight, her name is an Arabic word for rainy clouds due to her color and floof (and it was raining the night I got her). We also have an African grey parrot but that's my mom's and he's a jerk, we have a love-hate relationship.

Favorite driver(s) currently on the grid, and why?

Carletes <3 It started as simply his intelligence and driving style; he got a great balance of artistry/elegance and scrappiness, then it became because of him as a person. And of course Landito, he's such a talented driver and it's so fun watching him grow.

Favorite driver(s) not currently on the grid and why?

Seb and Kimi. Is there much needed to be said about Seb? Dude's a legend, not mentioning all the activist work he does. Kimi was a fricking joy to watch! All that 'leave me alone I know what to do' attitude is a *chef's kiss* (then it's even more exciting when he loses it lol) and I can already see some of that in Carlos and I'm here for it.

Favorite romantic driver pairing(s) (e.g. Maxiel, Carlando)

Carlando obvs, and I do like Maxiel as well.

Driver you’re most attracted to physically

Hear me out, I'm frothing for a certain Spaniard but I can't deny that Kimi got one hell of a chock hold on me :") AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON LEWIS GOOD GOD (sorry Landito, lucky for you you got an Adonis of your own you don't need me)

Driver whose personality you like best

I always love me a smart dork (Carlos), and a black cat (Lando). And there's this type of guys that I have always attracted for some reason, I can't name it but I can distinguish it and it applies to (Esteban Ocon) bet you didn't see that one coming.

Favorite driver friendship(s)

Lando/Alex/George are pretty fun together, and so are Lando and Oscar. And of course Lewis/Seb

Favorite team principal

humm..I don't really get into the principals much, but if I gotta choose one then probably Toto. I've seen some of his interviews and he seems like an intelligent person and I really enjoy listening to him.

Favorite team

I don't wanna say Ferrari or McLaren since they obviously have my boys so other than those I would say Williams or Aston Martin

Least favorite team, if any

......Fer*gunshot* IM KIDDING I SWEAR

Driver(s) you dislike, if any

Listen, I don't HATE him, and it's more vibes than any other logical reason but George. He looks like a Ken doll and is so Posh! And I'm posh in real life, yet his poshness still bothers me! It's better when he's with other drivers, especially the trio, but when he's by himself it's just so concentrated and comes off...???

If you’re a fic writer: if you could only write about one f1 pairing for the rest of your life who are you choosing?

I will miss Maxiel and Strollonso but my man I can't live without my Carlando

[foreverformula1]

There is so much hate towards Lewis Hamilton under the Secret Santa 2021 video comment section and let me clarify it for you:

First of all not everyone celebrates Christmas,some do but not even the same day. Some do but don’t exchange presents as it is a Nordic (I think) tradition that has been popularized (also because of commercionalism and capitalism).

Second of all not interacting interacting too much on the paddock with other racing drivers doesn’t mean that you are disliked by them or that you are not friend with them outside of the working setting.

And even if he truly wasn’t friend with any of them, many people prefer to keep colleagues as colleagues or to at least not force a fake friendship with them knowing perfectly that as soon as they part their ways, they’ll never message each other or ever again and act awkward when they see them in public. (Temporary friendships just to keep being social are totally fine, it’s just that many act as if they are real/long lasting).

Going back to ways of celebrating Christmas, some do but they are more “sincere” and would say no to do it just for the sake of the camera. He might as well exchange presents with them privately.

Going back to being disliked by other drivers,wasn’t Mazepin in the video too?

Some say that he wasn’t in it because he didn’t feel like part of the group because they mostly come from a wealthy family background, if it was the case Ocon,Leclerc,Räikkönen,Vettel and more wolf have left the chat too.

People need to be more mindful of others, you say “it’s just for fun,no need to be friends”, but you say it just because that’s what your culture,religion and lifestyle has made you think that. He simply isn’t in the video for whatever reason. No need to make an investigation about it. I wouldn’t have partecipated either for my own reasons and believes.

You say “it’s just for fun” because it suits your believes, understand that not only this is quite offensive towards who takes it more seriously but also,you are somehow trying to “spread” and often time shaming them if they don’t do the same. (Obviously,some people do it truly for fun and don’t shame others for it,but as a Muslim some people-not everyone tough-will literally say that that’s sad or that we are forbidden of happiness and stuff as if it not only we have our own things and cultures also from our own different countries but also we don’t care about joy and family and resting on daily basis). That’s because some people aren’t used to think that some things aren’t in all cultures as they are in theirs. And that’s not necessary evil,just educate them that things differ from country to country. I also get constantly surprised at the difference with foreign countries and religions. This part is obviously aimed at some people who wrote comments that were giving “If you don’t do Christmas you are the Grich or something e will like that” vibes.

Also,maybe he doesn’t partecipate because like how some fans speculate,it’s not always the drivers who choose and send the gift but sometimes an assistant, and maybe he is actually more mindful of it than others.

And last but not least: It’s almost 2022 and people still call introverts or literally anyone who simply would rather not partying with every single person they have met regardless of how small the relationship is egoists,self centered,cry babies and more. When will they understand that not everything is about them and that they are the real crybabies making it an issue?😅

Also,the video was shot before one of the last 2 races and he hasn’t participated for years after the 1º time. Stop saying that he still is crying in a hotel when he won the previous year and still didn’t do it.

Edit: I know not everyone is pressed,some just wanted Hamilton content(me included). This is obviously for the haters. He didn’t partecipate? It’s not a big deal. That’s it.

[formula-what]

Team Principal Crash Course

I know someone’s probably done one of these, and I’m sure they are much prettier than mine. I’m going through a divorce with PowerPoint rn

But I’ve always wanted to do one of these!!! Also I needed an excuse to not sleep / do any actual productive work

This is for @landobviously and any new people to f1, although I’m not sure this is actually very helpful

Mercedes: Toto Wolff

Team principal and CEO

low key hot, has the floofiest hair.

His name is actually Torger Christian Wolff which I love even more than Toto.

Austria business man who personally owns 30% of Mercedes stock?? He originally owned shares for Williams but has sold them all :(

I think he’s pretty much unproblematic? But I’m a Mercedes Hoe so probably biased.

He’s married to Susie Wolff who used to be a racing driver. She did DTM, Formula Renault + F3 and was also a development/test driver for Williams (becoming the second woman to ever take part in an f1 weekend, 22 years after the first) She is now the team principle of a Formula-E team, Venturi Racing which is co-founded by Leonardo DiCaprio??

RedBull : Christian Horner

This is the fucker they interview All. Of. The. Fricking. Time.

Someone will breathe and they be like “let’s go to the pit lane to get Christians thoughts on this”

But he’s pretty funny and all of the other guys tend to shy away from the cameras so I’m not that pissed about it but like, sky Sports love him.

Has donkeys named after Max and Daniel

He fell in love with Sebastian Vettel and is still low key pissed that he abandoned them. Also his daughters favourite driver is Seb

Has major beef with Cyril (Renault team principal)

Married a Spice Girl, some of the RedBull boys go with him sometimes to her concerts and they wear her merch

Okay usually I would go Ferrari next, but they’re a midfielder now so..

McLaren: Zak Brown

Gets treated like team principal but is actually CEO

American, says duuuude a lot

Used to be a professional driver and I think he was actually good?? But idk

I hated him at first but honestly he seems pretty chill?

Gives the biggest bear hugs

Andreas Seidl

Is actually Team Principal

Falls under the radar

Just kinda hangs around looking judgy all the time

When he does speak I can never understand a word he says

Renault: Cyril Abiteboul

The Frenchiest French guy to ever French

Sacked Hulk for Ocon (who’s French) although that’s completely unfair of me since Hulk has entered 179 gps and yet has never gotten a podium (which is a record by the way!!!)

Will find beef in anything, and then yell at you for it. Or give you evil eyes from across the room

Cyril fuckers do not deserve rights you know who you are

Got scammed by Daniel Ricciardo

Hates Christian Horner

Brought Alonso back??

Doesn’t deserve to have any junior drivers

Renault Lotus used to be a pretty popular engine supplier in f1 but aftee this year they will be the only ones on the grid using it. Yeah this isn’t about Cyril at all but it makes him yell which makes me laugh so

Racing Point: Lawrence Stroll

Part owner of Racing Point, and invested £182m in Aston Martin?? Hence the name change next year

Pretty sure he owns a private island, put I have zero proof

Bought the team when it’s owner went to jail for fraud and the team went into debt. But for whatever reason they couldn’t actually buy the shares so instead they just had to rename it and pretend they’re a new constructor. Midway through the season.

Daddy Stroll but NOT because of his looks. He’s just rich as fuck and promoted his kid Lance Stroll into one of the seats (who is actually a pretty good driver and doesn’t deserve any hate at all)

Otmar Szafnauer

Team Principal

Low key thought he was the one that went to jail so... yeah I know nothing about this guy

apparently he is litterally in the Hall Of Fame

Ferrari: Mattia Binotto

Fun fact, he actually used to run a circus I’m kidding.

he runs one now though

Looks like an older and more permanently confused Chal Lelerc

Last year was his first season as a team principal and boy can you tell

Is the parent that says he doesn’t have favourites but then always takes the youngest’s side and thinks that they’re an angel child that can never do anything wrong

Alpha Tauri: Franz Tost

Looks so soft

I know nothing about him, but I’m pretty sure he’s in love with Seb

Ummm I don’t think he’s problematic? But it’s red bull so who knows

Has the exact same vibes as beans and sausages on toast and I will not expand on that it’s probably because of the name tbh

Haas: Guenther Steiner

Is the 🤬 emoji personified, every second word that comes out of his mouth is a swear

“We look like a bunch of fucking wankers”

I’m not exaggerating when I say I’m scared of him

Literally the most terrifying man alive

Will yell ALL THE TIME about literally ANYTHING

Keeps putting KMag and Romain together even though they spend more time crashing into each other than actually racing?? And yet is equally surprised everytime???

“We’ve got two fucking idiots driving for us” and have done for FOUR YEARS. Haas have only been a team for five years, and they’ve only ever had one other driver

But I love them both

Fell for whatever the fuck Rich Energy was

Alfa Romeo: Frédéric Vasseur

Team Principal and CEO

I’ve never seen this man in my life

Used to be team Principle of Renault???2016-2017??? Whaaaa????

Williams: Sir Frank Williams

Founder and team principal

Old as fuck

a big name in motor sport

Used to be a long distance runner, now has a wheel chair because he got into a car accident on the way to a fun run :(

Literally built Williams from the ground up (and they used to be very good I swear)

Claire Williams

Deputy team Principal (but actually does all of the stuff)

the only important woman

Doesn’t deserve any of the hate she gets (and she gets a lot)

She’s trying her best okay

The ‘this is fine’ meme personified

[boysthatgovroomvroom]

I was tagged by the wonderful @formulola thank you so much hun☺️

Would die for you

Lando Norris - I don't think an explanation is needed here

Sebastian Vettel - My first f1 crush and the reason I really got into f1. Such a nice guy and I hope hell have a seat next year 😩

Daniel Ricciardo - one of the funniest dudes on the grid. With him f1 started to appeal to me more and more because he had laughs and wasn't that serious all the time

Love you but wouldn't die for you

George Russell- Give this man a good car ffs. He deserves better. So talented and such a nice person

I like you

Alex Albon - Protect this bean at all costs. He deserves better than red bull. Get him away from that toxic team

Don't know enough to have an opinion

Antonio Giovinazzi

Romain Grosjean

Checo Perez

Valterri Bottas

Nicolas Latifi

Esteban Ocon

Used to hate but now I don't

Lewis Hamilton - I used to really, like really dislike him. I still don't like him as a driver but he's warmed up to me when I saw how he supports all these charities and of course BLM

Used to love but now I dont

Charles Leclerc - I don't think we have to talk about this now

Carlos Sainz - I didn't love him but he has shown with his actions and statements that I can't support him

Never liked

Kevin Magnussen - idk... Just never vibed with him.. Kinda dangerous tho

Lance Stroll - I know some people really like him but I just can't get warmed up to him. Maybe this year will change anything

Max Verstappen - just not for me. He was okay when Dan was his team mate. Now I just think he's annoying

Y'all just vibe, you're cool

Kimi Raikkonnen - he's the ice man. He's cool. He just drives as a Hobby. Leave him alone he knows what he's doing.

Daniil Kvyat - the torpedo. So much sadness with him. He has gone through too much.

Pierre Gasly - poor poor bean. Always hope he does well so RBR can suck it

I tag @huskyandbeautiful and everyone else who wants to do it
