#the whole thesis of the CL era of ferrari is hope THAT is why he's il predestinato

[valyrfia]

Bestie I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this. Charles ain't getting that p2. Saudi was great, yes but there was a little bit of luck involved. We can't guarantee that in Abu Dhabi. We don't know if team orders will come into play for Ferrari. Charles' car is ancient. The Mclaren isn't. And Lando's probably gonna drive like his ass is on fire.

Ferrari still is a very uncertain team. Which is weird because they're one of the oldest. They should know what and how to do things by now. They're gonna prioritize the wcc rather than Charles' p2 I think.

Sorry to be such a negative person, but we can't always be delusional. We've got to touch grass and actually be rational here.

Charles is a great driver but everything has it's limitations. Giving people false irrational hope makes all of us look like idiots + breaks people's hearts when it doesn't happen.

First of all I take your hand and I say with the utmost sincerity: to be a Ferrari fan you have to build yourself on hope. I think a lot of people run to negativity as a way to cope with what remains uncertain circumstances but if you await races with negativity then negativity becomes how you spend your time. Will Ferrari win the WCC? Ferrari are historically better than McLaren in AD but yes it is a tall order. It is a small chance, but we have to take that chance and hope as best we can. What is Ferrari if not the team for the dreamers? Ferrari's entire mythos is built around hope, we literally have given our star driver a chosen one style narrative arc because we believe. We believe the impossible can be done.

Winning the WCC is a long shot, Charles Leclerc vice-champion only slightly less of a long shot, but we still have to dare to hope. I think Monza this year and Charles' impossible comeback drive that he won with proved that our team more than any other runs on prayers. We pray, we dream, and we hope.
