Sebastian Vettel, 2010, Abu dhabi

First on podium after winning his first championship by 4 points ahead of Fernando Alonso in last race of the season.

[shutinlear53]

2011 was one of the silliest F1 seasons

Pictured here are the Renault R31 and the Lotus T128, both featuring similar color schemes, Renault & Lotus branding and the same Renault RS27-2011 engine. The two teams, namely Lotus Renault GP and Team Lotus, had no relations whatsoever.

Cars walking into a haunted house Pt. 1

Inspired by: @rollingwheels (check them out!)

Okay- So, I know it's not a spooky month but it is to me! And I'm gonna show you, how the WGP, Cars 3 and 1 are gonna react when they are walking in a haunted house.

*Humanized*

Montgomery "Lightning" McQueen - Okay, So Lightning is first so what he does is that he has this cocky attitude and goes inside the haunted house but deep down inside, he's actually scared (Reference to Cars on the Road) and if there happened to be a killer clown in there Oof- Say goodbye to your hearing- Cause he's gonna scream really loud (like really loud). ☠️

Tow Mater - Oh, Uh- You can figure that out...

Jeff Gorvette - Oh he'll stand there like a statue! And he moves slowly and quietly and he doesn't want any one popping up in front of his face. He'll throw tires/hands if he gets jumpscared.

Lewis Hamilton - Just starts walking as he tries not to get jumped scared by an actor or anything.

Vitaly Petrov - He may be Russian, Tough, and strong, but- Ha! Your wrong! He's gonna make solids in his pants and he'll have to clean them when he gets home- lol!

Miguel Camino - Yeah, he's Sprinter and people are gonna be able to scare him because he's like a blur. (Because he's the runner and runs from bulls in Spain-)

Carla Veloso - Oh Yeah- She'll have some sass when she walks into the house, nothing won't scare her because she's braver than the boys! (Girl power!)

Francesco Bernoulli - He may act brave, but no, if he was teamed up Raoul or anyone else he's gonna latch onto them starts shaking and chattering his teeth with wide terrified eyes.

Shu Todoroki - He is dead silent he'll be quiet as a mouse and actors won't know he's there- But if he squeaks or squeals then it's game over for him.

Max Schnell - Oh- He'll have his hands in his pockets and walk down the hallway without feeling scared, that dude's tough as a rock- And if an actor startles him or attempts to- He'll just move away quickly but just just shrug it off.

Raoul ÇaRoul - Oh boy- That dude would have a panic attack- If anything or anyone pops up in front of him- He'll jump and scream at the same time, he'll fall on his butt and start scooting away clenching onto his chest and starts Hyperventilating and he'll have an anxiety or panic attack while Hyperventilating, but his boyfriend Rip Clutchgoneski would help him out.

Rip Clutchgoneski - Oh, Well he'll be scared at first but he'll get used to it when he realizes it's not that scary, but if he gets scared or startled he'll let out a little squeak or yelp. But he'll continue. (Just to be clear Rip will be a nervous little boy- but he'll make it out without feeling scared. 😋)

Nigel Gearsly - Easy- He'll run like hell and get scared every time when he runs into an actor-

[giuliagt-art]

Vitaly Petrov is enjoying a snowy day with a few friends 😁

I mean, I believe that if Vitaly was a character in the Pokémon universe, he would be a great Ice Type trainer XD (also, I hope it's easily noticeable that it's Vitaly since his logos are covered by the snow 😅)

I drew this bc recently has snowed here in Romania (at least where I live) and for me snow is special bc it wasn't so common to have it in Italy where I used to live 😍 (I think I got the chance to experience snow only 3 or 4 times in my entire life in Italy)

[mittch22]

I love your headcanons for the WGP! Such underutilized characters that Pixar will never come back to. Which makes it all the more fun to come up with the headcanons and their personalities.

Also do you have headcanons for the regional replacements of Jeff Gorvette in the international dubs of Cars 2: Long Ge (my personal bias), Flash Nilsson, Memo Rojas Jr, Frosty Winterbumper and Vitaly Petrov?

Another Ask! Thank you!!!

I must admit, it was a challenging one. I like to have a little background info before I add HC's to pre-made characters. But alas, there is not much to go on.

Im glad you bought these fine chaps to my attention. They are VERY cool. My favourite is Vitaly personally. Lets give this a go, shall we?

Long Ge - He is insanely polite and will go above and beyond to ensure the comfort of others in his presence, even sometimes to his own detriment.

He can occasionally get a little nervous talking to others, but thats down to a small amount of social anxiety. He wants everyone to like him.

Long Ge is respectful of his fellow competitors at all times, however, he can occasionally get a little arrogant, but its all in good humour.

He is heavily supportive of racers in need, especially when it comes to physical injury. Regardless of his position on the track, he will stop to help if he deems it necessary. In his spare time, he will volunteer to assist those in need.

He loves traditional board games.

Lightning McQueen ended up introducing him to Tex Dinoco and they got along straight off the bat.

Flash Nilsson - Flash is spritely and energetic and its utterly contagious. He knows exactly how to get a party going and how to keep it rolling.

He's amazing at poker.

He gets jestfully angry when fellows sing or play the Flash Gordan theme song when he enters a room or aproaches a group. He will start singing along with it though.

He's a bit of a practical joker and can spend ages thinking up amazing pranks to play on his friends. He loves to have a good laugh.

Flash spends a lot of time practicing on different tracks and honing his skillset in a variety of different ways. He's always looking to improve himself and learn loads of different techniques for different situations.

Memo Rojas Jr - Memo loves learning about different cultures and sightseeing the countries he visits.

He is a highly suspicious vehicle and carries a luck charm with him for his races.

You'll never not hear him humming or singing musical tunes and jigging along to it.

He gets on really well with Raoul and they have become quite firm friends after the WGP.

Memo is rediculously quick off the mark and shocks fellow racers with his ability to just shoot himself forward off the starting line. It can be quite startling and intimidating.

Frosty Winterbumper - Frosty is a talker. As in he is an incessant talker. Good luck shutting him up. Especially when its on a subject that he is particularly interested in.

He loves basking in gentle sunshine and believes there's nothing better than a quality nap and a decent amount of relaxation time.

He is a bit of a risk taker on the track and enjoys the rush of that.

Despite his wintery namesake, he despises being in cold environments. He can't stand the cold and will do pretty much anything to ensure he stays warm. A deeply set chill can really throw him off his game.

Vitaly Petrov (Виталий Петров) - Vitaly is an avid chess player. His father was a regional champion at the game and athough Vitaly had bigger interests in racing, he is still very good at the game. So good luck beating him.

He is used to freezing climates from growing up racing in rally sprints and ice races and just doesnt seem to get cold. He has techniques for staying warm and he will always share them with any fellow racer who feels the cold easily.

Vitaly is the only race fan in his family and built himself up in the racing world from scratch and he absolutely loves it. He does it purely for his own enjoyment. It just turns out he's really damn good at it.

Chrysler help you if you find yourself in a snowball fight with him. He is pretty merciless.

Bonus content:

I have an amusing screenshot (at least I found it amusing). Tumblr is being a bit funny on mobile at the moment with asks. And for some reason its staging out the words in the ask box when I go to answer it. This is what it came up with:

PS: His name is Frosty Winterbum now.

[jessread-s]

Thank you to the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

✩💐💍Review:

I absolutely adore this book! It is like “The Proposal”, but in young adult book form.

“Just Say Yes” follows Jimena Ramos, a seventeen-year-old who had no idea she was undocumented. The quickest way to get her green card is to find an American to marry. Her best candidate: Vitaly, her next-door neighbor and friend. But Vitaly has his own plans for the future. So Jimena tries online dating…only she can’t stop thinking about him.

I appreciate how this book not only focuses on teenage love, but also how difficult it can be for undocumented teens trying to go through the immigration process in the United States.

Within the first chapter, Jemina discovers that she is not a legal citizen. Her resilience and determination to overcome one of the most difficult times in her life is what made me love and admire her character so much. While I cannot relate to her situation personally, I understood her devastation and how badly she wanted to be a normal teenager. I couldn’t help but root for her.

I really loved Jimena and Vitaly’s slow development from neighbors-to-friends-to-lovers. They are so so cute and absolutely perfect for each other! I wish the ending was more drawn out so that I could bask longer in their coupledom because I could not get enough of them.

Happy birthday to Joao Moutinho, Bruno Fernandes and Vitaly Petrov! 🎉🎂🥳

[continuedparadox]

Deeply missing the Formula 1 world of the early 2010s. I just rewatched Abu Dhabi 2010 and man, what a race. V8 engines, no DRS, 4 championship contenders, and so much world-class overtaking across the board.

Not be all 'back in my day' on main, but damn, I wish we could see something like that again soon.

[sassysillysavvy]

so i’ve decided to make it to where all girls take their mother’s last name and all boys take their father’s last name in my story’s universe 👌🏻

Rivals: Fernando Alonso v Sebastian Vettel

This post is a response to an ask about the rivalry between Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso. Great ask! You have inspired me to create a new series, so I will post multiple ones in time about different F1 rivalries. If there is a specific one anyone wants me to talk on, please drop into my ask box.

Alright, let's go.

(Vettel, right, and Alonso at a press conference in 2010)

So, during the 2010s, Alonso was already an established figure in F1. He had won his titles in 2005 and 2006, was already seen as one of the best drivers on the grid, and was an all round 'paddock personality'. Vettel, on the other hand, entered F1 in 2007, right after both of Alonso's wins, and very quickly showed himself as a future star. But his star wouldn't really rise until he joined Red Bull in 2009.

2010 was when the rivalry really started. While 2009 had been a good year for Vettel, being a championship contender, it had not for Alonso. 2010 saw Alonso join Ferrari and with a competitive car underneath him, it became clear that the title fight was between him and Vettel. This tension certainly existed on the race track, but the drivers did remain cordial to each other throughout the year. They did not have many clashes, racing rather cleanly against one another throughout the year, and there were very little instances of smack talk. A real moment of tension did come to a head in Abu Dhabi. Alonso was leading the championship by a small margin, but a strategic error by Ferrari left him stuck in the midfield, and allowed Vettel to take the win and his first title. But after the race Alonso didn't seem to harbor any resentment toward Vettel, and actually expressed the most anger with the car he had been stuck behind, glaring at poor Vitaly Petrov who had been in a slow-moving Renault.

(Vettel on podium after winning his first title)

So, that was the start of this rivalry. The next championship they would battle is 2012, and this too saw Vettel win. There were a few memorable moments over the years, even when not fighting for the title, as they were often on podiums together, but mostly it was a very pure rivalry. When I say pure, I mean that the two seemed to be rivals on-track, but did not let it drag outside. There were only a few times they ever expressed disapproval of the other. For example, during the famous 'multi-21' event, Alonso (a good friend of Mark Webber's) expressed dissatisfaction with Vettel's behavior, saying "At Ferrari we have clear rules and drivers respect them." This marked one of the few times Alonso or Vettel had spoken poorly of the other in the press, rare for famous rivalries.

(a handshake on the podium)

The public's perception of this rivalry was often much more intense than it actually was. In F1 people love a story, so presumably the idea of this more mature driver, a world champion known for his 'villainy', being beaten by a blue-eyed, blonde, young star was entertaining. In reality, Alonso and Vettel seemed to very much respect each other, even after close fights. Memorably, Vettel said in a post-race interview "It will always be tough to beat Fernando. He would fight like a lion, even if his car wasn't as good." Alonso has also stated similar sentiments, and in 2020 after Vettel announced his retirement from F1, Alonso said "He is a great champion, and he will be remembered as one of the best in Formula 1." They also very much enjoyed racing against the other, often describing their on-track battles as some of the most intense and enjoyable they have experienced. Nowadays, with Vettel retired and Alonso still in F1, they seem to have the casual friendship that most ex drivers share.

(A hug after Vettel officially retired)

So that's an overview on the Vettel-Alonso rivalry. Certainly not as intensely personal as many people act like it was, but it defined the 2010s as one of its key rivalries (next to Rosberg and Hamilton) and showed off two of the best F1 drivers of this era.

Hope you enjoyed the read!

Cheers,

last night, somehow, by some whim, i started reading about my favorite f1 drivers, and i’m talking back when i was watching it religiously with my dad—2005-2011; 2012, i was watching it for the most part by myself; i remember i quit watching in 2013 because things were getting way too political to be enjoyable and everyone i liked was either without a drive or they sucked in the previous season and i wasn’t in the best headspace then. then somehow, i caught the 2016 season, right after jules passed away and that was it after that.

one of my first cartoon endeavors was called “life in the paddock”: a hand drawn comic/fanfiction that i made when i wasn’t focusing on school. i made my last cartoon in summer 2011 when my home life was in shambles and i had to focus on going to college and also surviving; i wouldn’t even touch the cartoon world again until that following may with my soundgarden ones. i remember it so well, from january 2007 - july 2011. in fact, just last night, i got the honest to god stupidest idea to resurrect it from the grave, 13 years after its untimely demise à la soundgarden’s reunion—if i do, it’s going to have to wait until i finish my kinktober fics, which i actually plan on signing and sealing and queuing up all the way in the coming days. it + throughout the dark months of april and may could be a wonderful balance to my testament fics. things that go vroom vroom to balance out the complex crush that i never want to stop exploring.

my guys are always going to be kimi räikkönen, robert kubica, nick heidfeld, jenson button, mark webber, takuma sato (his winning the indy 500 back in 2017 was easily a bright light for me in that summer), adrian sutil, “the nicos” (rosberg and hulk), the schumacher brothers, and i even liked bruno senna and timo glock for a while; i had the weirdest fucking soft spot for vitaly petrov, too (and when i say weird, i mean it—the dude was backed by putin and the mob, so i remember being seen as like the “bad girl” or even the “hellraiser” on the old groups and boards i used to frequent—that title literally just stayed with me the last 12 years 😅)

it’ll never not be wild to me to see how much it’s changed now. how americanized it all is now. the fandom now is like kpop twitter before twitter fell under elon’s control, a far cry from the kind of sassy, snarky fandom i had cozied up with initially.

when i was watching, it was insulated away from everything. it was a very ritzy, very glamorous atmosphere. it was all very high tech.

i’m literally not sure what happened after 2016. it’s got this “how do you do, fellow kids” vibe but slightly to the left.

Heyo!

Just for funsies, do you have any fun little headcanons about the WGP racers? Also including the regional variants such as Long Ge, Flash Nilsson, Memo Rojas Jr, Vitaly Petrov and Frosty Winterbumper.

Hey!!! I’ve actually never thought too deeply about the WGP racers! I’m a big fan of Nigel Gearsley and Carla Veloso but I’ve not looked into it much further than that. However! I will talk about the thoughts I have had about them!

First off I like to think that racers got into the habit of pranking each other over the course of the tour, Rip Clutchgonski being a frequent victim. Carla and Raoul being the pair to plan the most memorable pranks, one included filling Nigel’s trailer to the brim with tacky lightning McQueen memorabilia in Tokyo, a prank that actually ended up costing them a fair amount of money. Shu, liked to think he was above the whole prank war the other racers had going on, but ended up giving Raoul a taste of his own medicine by getting his pit crew to agree to spray painting “Shu was here” in Kanji characters onto him while he took a nap after a practice on the track.

Sorry if this kinda sucks lol but that’s the main context in which I think about them all really!

[andromedasummer]

please elaborate on which f1 driver had a family member assassinated. you cant drop that fact like its a normal low-key thing to have happened and not elaborate

so like 2 years ago vitaly petrov (ex-driver) was gonna be a steward for the russian gp and people were upset because he had just said some massively homophobic shit but he ended up not filling the steward position because his dad got sniped while in his office at home (apparently by the russian mafia) so he had to go home and like. deal with that.

[miraculous1980winteraus]
