If you asked Carlos Sainz if he was a jealous person he would deny it.

Just like if you asked Yn if she would ever get involved with someone from her line of work she would answer negatively.

But as it happens, fate likes to play with people, and it decided to play them two.

...

She was friendly, but there was a clear line drawn between them. 

To Yn in those lines, the sentence “never dare to get involved with a coworker” loomed. 

Carlos would find any excuse to get to the Merc garage unnoticed and “accidentally” bump into Yn and he was so set on at least making his feelings known that Yn couldn’t run anymore. For some reason, he always knew when she was around, and he got her number from a McLaren mechanic who just so happened to be her friend. She got tired, mainly because she was just as attracted to him but she refused to break down that wall, to step over the line she drew around herself ever since she started to understand the world.

...

“YOU’RE PARANOID!” She screamed when Carlos hinted that she was having an affair. “You know damn well my reluctance to get involved with coworkers, and even so, I’m your girlfriend, I wouldn’t cheat on you! Don’t you trust me?!” 

Carlos walked around the living room running his hands on his dark hair messing with the strands and even getting some from the roots with the force he was pulling them. 

“I do trust you, I just don’t trust him!” 

“What the hell is that supposed to mean?”

He grunted, finally coming to a stop a few feet from her, “You can’t blame me, you keep working overtime when it comes to him, he texts you outside of working hours and…”

(click for better quality) Got sick of people calling landoscar 'brocedes 2.0' and 'multi-21 2.0' when clearly those old men are actually just waging continuous war vicariously through the experiences of the new generation. So here you guys go

regarding logan’s frat boy photo dump : do we think this is his hot girl summer / revenge era? is he finally in the glow up phase of a 2010s teen disney movie? did he see the comments about how depressed he was and how he must be crying himself to sleep and chose to drop a slutty little nip slip just to prove them wrong? is he vague posting to james like you would an ex boyf, posting yourself hot and sexy and happy just to prove they’ve not ruined you? or if he vague posting to carlos like you would the person who your partner cheated on you with in effort to prove you have someone else and you’re better than ever?

Estrella Galicia sponsorship is still up and running also he looks so hot😤🫦

[devilsainz]

oh. Oh.

[slythereen]

final thought on today: it's not a matter of whether or not the strategy choice to save at the start was the correct one (i.e., "well we had new softs and they had old"). what matters is that the team agreed on the strategy and both drivers agreed to follow that strategy. only sainz decided to disregard pre-determined plans (again) because he decided he didn't care for it after all.

Here I go again.

You know, when I first got my tickets for COTA, I was so excited to meet more F1 fans, especially ones who aren't men. I was ready to go to meetups, trade bracelets, make some acquaintances I could bullshit with. Spread the joy of girlhood, you know?

(My tickets got upgraded for free thanks to a very benevolent rep, so now I'm at the top of a $1500/ticket grandstand instead of GA, but I digress. 😌)

After being around the "fandom" more? I'll take the men. Every time.

When it comes to talking sports, men are awful in a specific way. They'll talk down to you, sure, but the second they realize you're right, they either move on or stop acting like an idiot. Honestly, more recently men - in person especially - have been decently respectful when talking racing. The last few races I've been to have been great for conversations and trading stories (and free beer). They don't give a shit who you are as long as you know your stuff.

Fandom girlies (gn)? They'll wish death on someone for breathing the wrong way. They'll harass someone until they leave social media. They'll harass team employees about decisions they don't like or imagined offenses even though those employees have no say. They'll stalk partners and families and leave nasty messages and think that's okay. They'll mock drivers for being open about their mental health struggles and actively try to make it worse. They'll create narratives about people they've never met to justify the vile things they say and do. They'll openly admit they don't care about reality, they hate for hate's sake. The girls can't understand that these are human men with emotions and personalities, they're not characters written for their enjoyment. They have lives and relationships that the public isn't privy to, and nobody is owed every detail about their private lives. In person? Fucking yikes. God forbid you like the same driver and try to have a conversation. (I promise, he's not going to fuck either of us.)

In my time around sports, not just racing, I have always tried to be welcoming and encouraging to people getting into it. I used to work with a pro team and a specific athlete to orchestrate special experiences for fans. I always believed it was better to have more fans, especially younger, diverse fans. But dealing with what I see here, on Twitter, on TikTok, on IG? I don't want these people around racing, or society, to be honest. It's like they saw the ugly men and said "How can we be worse?"

OBVIOUSLY it's not every girl or every man. I know there are girls who are incredible and men who most definitely are not. But if I'm picking a group, I'll take the one that isn't going to call me a racist/make up shit about me/tell me I should die or that they want to kill me for pointing out they're factually wrong about something or liking a different driver.

But sure, girlies. Tell me all about respect.

I'm a big fan of anagram and just Oscar and Carlos ??? Oscar took the 'L' in Carlos to give Love to Lando.

Like C a r l o s and O s c a r

It also works for the Carlando shipper as : Carlos had the L for Lando because he's his.

So we could also use it in a toxic love triangle with Lando realizing that Carlos kept the L has a possession but Oscar let him be his own person. Do you get it ?

[finifugue]

I'd love to try something different and get everyone who sees this to seriously actually think of a time when their favourite driver fucked up on-track WITHOUT somehow managing to blame it on the FIA/his team/his teammate.

Think of it as an excercise in acknowledging these dudes are real human beings who sometimes do not perform as well as they can. And if you can't think of a time your driver hasn't performed well because of his own mistakes, then you should look into why you're licking the boot of a rich man.

[stachesainzcore]

Bro it feels like I'm begging people not cross the line with their hatred for drivers every race weekends!

Sports fans are beyond toxic

[fawninginlovee]

so am i just over-ovulating or do you guys understand???

[once-and-future-loser]

I think I'm getting in too deep with F1. I'm too invested. It's time to get back to my roots. BBC Merlin, Supernatural, and unfortunately Star Wars.

Well right after I get back from Austin and the USGP.

Can't waste those tickets, but after that it's over for you hoes.

someone should take photoshop away from me

‪Y’all hate on Carlos too much to think logically, don’t you?

Charles was the slower out of the two. And Perez and George were right on their heels. Even Charles admitted and said he understood why the swap happened later on. You guys pick and choose things he says because it is going against whatever you guys claim about Carlos, you act like he didn’t say those things and that he is forced to say things because PR.

Why do y’all think Carlos is always behind Charles’s misfortunes? I am so sick and tired of Carlos being the public enemy for literally everything and nothing. Things that even he can’t control.

Y’all are a bunch of hypocrites. When Charles has good race and Carlos doesn’t, all hail Ferrari, Carlos is mid, doesn’t deserve that seat but when Carlos has a better one, it’s all the wrong car won, good things aren’t supposed to happen to Carlos, Sainztander, the car was built for him.🙄 Do you guys hear yourself? Y’all sound ridiculous.

Charles did get a fucked up strategy and it’s frustrating and sad. I will admit that. And I am mad about that. Drag Ferrari. Not Carlos. They set up BOTH their drivers with one pit stop strategy at the beginning. Yeah, even Carlos was supposed to be on one pit stop strategy but he fucked up his tires trying to catch up to Lewis and Max, so they had to go with two pit stop. And we know SF-23 eats tires like nothing. That’s how Charles was losing pace too.

And y’all love playing the Carlos helps Lando but not his own teammate card too much. Did y’all forget yesterday? Where Carlos was on softs and kept Lando behind to delay him from getting to Charles? And also in Austria, defending from Checo that helped in Charles getting P2. You guys are way too quick to forget when Carlos plays the team game.

As for Singapore (because y’all love to bring it up and hate that he won) if the whole DRS thing went sideways, both Carlos and Lando would’ve lost out. In helping Lando, he kept his place and gave us the only non redbull win. But that only worked because they both trusted each other. It wouldn’t have worked with Charles and y’all know it. And y’all latched on to george saying “they’re sacrificing Leclerc.” way too quickly. Where, again, a bad pit stop and safety car fucked up Charles’s position. And even then Charles said it was his idea to go on softs so the team could have a win. Again, Ferrari is to be blamed there.

Did you forget Monza? We were very close to Ferrari DNF.

Y’all need to start thinking and stop blaming everything on Carlos and also maybe stop putting Charles on a pedestal and act like he does no wrong. I love him too, but y’all are making it really hard to love him. And I can’t even go to his (Charles) tag because there’s just hate on carlos and you can’t tag properly.
