#winless streak

[i44rise]

it's been a week since this incredible win

[coffee-at-annies]

Have just realized I’m wearing my Jake shirt and not only did we win but Jake got two goals. Curse broken???

[chaoticlandworlder]

Tl;dr of the sprint: Lando's winless streak continues 😭, Rosberg cheers on his ex-bestie, Alonso continued being a grelim (affectionate), yes Bono, Lewis knows Max is behind considering he's all over his ass, Checo pulls a 'through goes Hamilton' and the Carlos-Charles beef revives for a day.

[alonsoings]

since this seems to be the season of first wins and ending winless streaks can i PLEASE get an oscar and fernando win this season PLEASE

[youareinlove]

to be in love you have to fight to have the upper hand -> i took your matches before fire could catch me so don’t look now -> love is a ruthless game unless you play it good and right -> love’s a game, wanna play -> was it over when she laid down on your couch, was it over when he unbuttoned my blouse -> baby, let the games begin -> you did a number on me, but honestly baby, who’s counting -> back when we were card sharks, playing games, i thought you were leading me on -> but then you called, showed your hand -> but you called my bluff and saw through all my tells -> my winless fight -> you have beaten my heart -> and you asked me to dance, but i said “dancing is a dangerous game” -> i didn’t know you were keeping count -> he runs because he loves me -> i can take the upper hand and touch your body -> and she's laughing, drawing aces -> hearts are hers for the breaking, there's escape in escaping -> the sign on your heart says it's still reserved for me -> we've been on a winning streak

hello my neighborhood AIHL reporter!

just found out the Central Coast Rhinos have a (what seems) kraken inspired uni. i love it!!!!!!!! do you have any thoughts on them as a team? thinking about following them just based on uniform alone hehe…..

hope you’re having a good day/night love u my sweet cheese <3333

hellooo mia . i have some (coughs up microplastics) News. they are. hrghh. Not Very Good i fear…! i love them very very much for this (sharks enjoyer) but if you plan to watch them to avoid the pain of our squids flopping, i will have to disappoint you </3

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

As far as i know. they have never been very good (cursed franchise) finishing last or close to last for every season of their existence </3 and between 2009-2012, and 2013-2021, they um. did not play at all. idk if they were relegated or simply non-operational but!! yeah sakajfkglh

wanna hear something incredible and very fucked up? This past week, they FINALLY broke a 5796 day home game winless streak. The last time they won at home was in 2008. against MY CBR Brave — who were actually operating under a different franchise name the Canberra Knights 😭👍 if you think the kraken loss streak was awful — can you imagine being fans in their home barn and not seeing a win since before the last recession <3

Listen to me my darling clam chowder do NOT let this stop you from loving them. I of all people don’t have a fin to stand on when it comes to supporting losers. 5/8 of my nhl teams were lottery teams this year!!!

They DID get a new coach this szn, and they’ve actually been doing a bit better!! despite the HORRENDOUS scores I’ve shown you jsjfjjg. they aren’t last in the standings as of writing (my Brave, hamstrung by having our best players poached for the national team, have this honour <3)

Here is their instagram

Here is their season preview from HockeyhypeAustralia

Here is a podcast interview (spotify) with Rhinos forward Mackenzie Bolger

@sregnarkroywen Charlie here is a KNOWN Rhinos enjoyer so please shoot them a follow if you do pull the trigger on loving this flop ass team <3 Charlie also covers the euro leagues and is currently rooting for our beloved Grubi on team germany 🥺 they are very nice, and they’ve been fighting the good fight (following the rhinos/aihl) for much much longer and would have much more info for you if you’re interested!

and to answer your last question — I am having the time of my life watching nhl playoffs, worlds, and my flop teams’ prospects in their playoffs games <3 no end to hockey in sight im a pig in mud im a worm in dirt im a shark in blood !!!!!!! thank u for popping in holding fins and tentacles and hooves forever weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

2024 F1 QATAR AIRWAYS BRITISH GRAND PRIX (Brief Summary)

After 945 days of a winless streak, Lewis Hamilton finally takes his win at Silverstone; thus, taking his 9th victory at the circuit alone and his 104th win in overall F1 career.

Joining him in the podium are Max Verstappen - who finished in P2; and Lando Norris - standing in P3.

Other higlights: 1. George Russell was close to the win or podium finish; sadly, water pressure on his car forces him to have a DNF. 2. Pierre Gasly fails to start in the race due to gearbox issues.

McLaren's 2024 Pumpkin Can't Be a Lemon

McLaren got the jump on everyone this year by being the first team to officially launch; while not a car, their 2024 livery. While not the most colorful F1 machinery McLaren has ever produced; I find myself missing their beautiful 2020 challenger, the new Papaya and Black scheme leads to a menacing almost Halloween vibe, while still being true to the modern McLaren brand of the Zak Brown Era. 

And speaking of the brand, I cannot help but feel this surprise mid-january reveal was down to the fact that all McLaren factory racing efforts this year look to be standardized in terms of livery, and getting that first bit of F1 news out for the new year, and with their new ‘Whatever it takes’ mantra seemed like a no brainer if the cat was already out of the bag with the start of the Formula E season in Mexico a few weeks ago. 

And on that new motto, I can’t help but feel this sense of confidence from every move McLaren is making right now. Compared to last year’s funeral of a car launch, where expectations were dashed and heads were hung low, the team feels excited and confident with every move they make. 

Despite a slow start last season, 2023 turned into a beautiful year for McLaren, becoming the second fastest team on the grid post-summer break. Lando Norris continued to show brutal speed and consistency across races, and rookie Oscar Piastri showed exactly why he was worth all that fuss in 2022, all while avoid pitfalls we’ve seen other rookies hit in their maiden seasons

Now, after a grueling start and spectacular end to last year’s campaign, the Woking outfit looks to carry that momentum forward to 2024. And they have shiny new toys to try to help, like their brand new wind tunnel, freeing them from using TMG’s excellent, but outdated facility in Cologne. Combine that with new simulators to better help correlation before hitting the track with new upgrades, and McLaren’s new technical team looks to have the right tools to fight at the front. 

While a shock Monza win in 2021 broke broke an almost decade long winless streak, and with a few close calls later that season, the 2022 ground effect regulations threw a wrench in the team’s recovery, and big promises came with reinvestment in the team that followed that disappointing first year of the new rules. And while 23 came good in the end, continued growth must be shown, even if the team isn’t immediately challenging for the title this year. 

McLaren now needs to deliver, and keep showing that any upward ticks in form aren’t just solely the result of other teams missing their mark. They cannot repeat last year, and they also cannot afford to slid backward throughout the season like Aston Martin did last time out. If any team is to escape the F1 midfield, McLaren needs to not just show they’re ready, but show that they are capable of capitalizing on the new, more equitable F1 landscape.

‘Wandering’

Dr Strange x inexperienced! fem! reader

THIS ONE IS SOO SHORT SORRY

smut so minors fuck off x

The night was vastly daunting. The flickers of shattered starlight were doing nothing to absolve you of your thoughts as you wandered around Sanctum trying to chase peace or maybe just even waiting for someone to find you- but it was almost nearing 2am. No one was around.

Padding away barefoot aimlessly, you couldn't find it in yourself to be bothered by the fact you were wearing an oversized suit shirt that hugged all the right places. If someone were to find you like this your embarrassment would reach deplorable levels. Your interest and curiosity piqued when your eyes were fixated on the room in which no one was allowed to enter except for God's true mystical disciple- Strange. You were bordering on delirious and it was all because of this stupid sleepless night. It was a winless fight.

But you were a good girl. You never broke the rules. Stephen's rules.

Though your curiosity remained fixed, maybe tonight was the night where you broke the rules, and in the process, your moral compass. Carrying yourself through the arches of the doorless room, your fingers grazed over the timeless relics and impossibly ancient spellbooks. You cocked your head however when you saw the clear glass casing.

It was holding leather handcuffs held on a red velvet cushion, it was padlocked. You wondered why this was kept here. Was it for Stephen specifically? How was this forbidden in any way? Did Stephen hold the key?

Your mind was pacing.

‘’What are you doing?'’A voice behind you startled you wide awake from your dream like trance. It took you a moment to register what was happening and who was even talking to you. You were wincing at the ass whooping you were about to recieve for being in such a forbidden and sacred area. Your heart was thrumming in anticipation. You spun yourself around and you stunned at the sight of Stephen with a bare chest and crossed arms. Grey sweatpants outlining a slight bulge softly.

‘’Uh...I'm not meant to be in here.’’ You stumbled on your words like a jittering fool, eyes wide in sheer terror.

You attempted to dash right past him and out of the room but he halted you in your tracks by grabbing you by the wrist and pulling you in front of before ultimately letting you go. You let out slight gasp that Stephen wasn't expecting as you felt yourself shiver under his brief and fleeting touch.

‘’Hey hey where do you think you're going?’’He questioned in a sweet and soft manner, you felt your eyebrow raise at such a confusingly kind tone. Stephen's powder blue eyes searched yours for an answer but all he found was a shellshocked deer in blinding white headlights.

‘’I was just wandering. I couldn't sleep.’’You rasped as you hung your head up to look him in his picturesque face. In this light he looked so effortlessly attractive, all rugged features and tight creased eyes. Hair messy as his grey streaks shone in the dim atmospheric ambience. You stole a moment to just remark at him; to be crude, he was fucking hot as shit. All authoritarian and an attitude worth drooling over; the way he was looking at you made you feel weak and you'd do anything to feel his skin and weight on top of yours but there was an...issue.

You were...inexperienced to say the least.

The only kiss you've ever experienced was a drunken peck that you couldn't really remember. Sex was off the table and not even worth talking about.

Your nerves were becoming heavily apparent now.

‘’Why are you all… nervous?’’ Stephen smirked slightly, trying to keep his thoughts at bay.

‘’Sorcerer Supreme finding an apprentice in the forbidden section? Do I really need to explain it to you?’’ You chuckled dryly in an attempt to win him over.

Seeing you in just a dress shirt made him think thoughts that best be left unsaid. You were as cute as a dud, so pretty. So fucking pretty. Full lips, bright gleaming challenging eyes, blushed apples- his stare couldn't help but linger on you while you were practicing your spell casting. A relationship was never on the cards for a guy like him and he assumed that you of all people wouldn't be interested in him. Always off in your own little world. Stephen's stare lingered on your bare legs and he noticed that the sheerness of your shirt didn't hide the view of your thin panties. His tolerance was declining. Maybe it was because it was nightfall, maybe it was because you were alone, maybe it was because you were barely wearing anything. Either way, he wanted you.

‘’How'd you know I was here?’’ You snapped him out of his mindless daydreaming.

‘’Maybe I was wandering too.’’

Your fingers found hospice on the padlock of the clear casing. You were intruiged by the reason in which the handcuffs were here.

‘’What's this?’’ You smirked playfully, pondering upon grounds that you didn't know how to deal with. Playing with fire.

You twisted your hand on the padlock and broke it while staring at him-biting at your lip.

Stephen could have came right there, you were so nervous yet such a flirt. He didn't understand it. You opened the glass and grabbed at the cuffs to inspect them.

‘’Come on put them back.’’He exhaled as he sauntered towards you.

‘’What's this?’’You smiled at him sweetly. He raised his hands and grabbed the cuffs off of you and only then did you notice how close he was to you.He put them back in its case.

‘’I'll tell you a secret only if you go to bed and stop wandering.’’ He offered and you nodded slightly, giddy at the fact he trusted you enough with a secret. Stephen leaned on the frame as you gawked up at him.

‘’They're supposed to surpress magic. But the women I fuck want me to use it on them.’’ He voice was just an octave above a whisper, you felt the true cadence of his voice make a wash of wetness gush to your panties- the fact that he was staring at your lips made it so much worse and better at the same time. You mouth popped open slightly and you were starting to shake under his sex dripped gaze.

Does he want you? Holy fuck, he does want you.

‘’Would you want to use them on me?’’ You blurted absent mindedly and it made Stephen beam up in surprise.

‘’Would you like that?’’ He asked politely and it made you want him right then and there in the fucking forbidden section. The dialogue alone felt so vulgar to you due to never fully experiencing anything like this before. Your breathing was becoming more and more erratic with every passing moment Stephen was staring at you.

You paused.

‘’I think I would...but I-.’’ You cut yourself off due to the heated blush coating the apples of your cheeks, diverting eye contact due to the imminent embarrassment you were experiencing.

‘’What? What is it baby?’’His thumb lifted up your chin and you quite literally shivered into his touch. The fact he had his hand on you was so intense to you. And baby? Fuck.

‘’I've never-‘’

‘’Mhm?’’

‘’I've never fucked before.’’ You finally spat out as you blinked up at him with those beguiling eyes of yours, all nervous under his gaze.

‘’What?’’

He quite frankly couldn't believe it. No one has ever had you? There's no way that could ever be true. Stephen's mind was racing and he thought he wouldn't ever be able to stop.

‘’I haven't even had my first real kiss before, it's embarrassing.’’ You sighed out, finally melting into him so he'd get the hint to kiss at your lips. He exhaled as he adjusted his hands to cradle your face.

‘’Men must kill each other just to get remotely close to you.’’ He whispered as he brushed his thumb on top of your full lips.

‘’Can you show me how to make love Stephen?’’ You asked softly, staring into the eyes that were already undressing you.

‘’Can I kiss you?’’ He requested as he leaned in, tips of noses touching each other.

‘’Please.’’ You moaned back, you reeked of desperation at this point and he was just revelling in it all- it was all for him to savour and have.

It was feather light, soft, tender. Lips touching lips. You angled your head so you could taste him deeper and he reciprocated your actions almost instantly. He ripped his lips away from yours and intertwined your hands with his and whisked you away to his room. He locked his door and never in thousand years would he have thought you'd be in his room. Your scent filled the space completely.

Stephen gently pushed you onto the bed and in this light you looked even more stunning than ever. Your face was already contorting in pleasure and he'd barely done anything. He smirked at the sentiment.

‘’Been wanting to take this off since I saw you in it. Can I?’’He groaned between kisses and you nodded your head furiously. He unbuttoned your shirt at a slow and torturous pace, teasing you to the point where you were shaking under him.

Stephen's hands wandered around your body, slowly coaxing you out and teasing your flesh. He got rid of the fabric of your shirt and your tits spilled out for him and he was damn near drooling. You were only left in your underwear.

"Touch me Stephen.’’ You breathed out sensually. He shimmied down your underwear and all he could see as he cast his head down was your sloppy wet pussy. You got wet sooo easily and it made him lick his lips.

His tongue delved into your mouth before ultimately licking and softly suckling down your neck and the flesh of your tits. Your moans were becoming so loud and it was becoming his own personal brand of heroin. He was becoming so painfully hard and it was all because of you.

‘’Can I go down on you?’’ Stephen breathed into your lower stomach as his darkened gaze flitted to your desperate eyes.

‘’Fuck yes.’’You gasped.

Stephen forced your legs onto his shoulder as he slowly started to kiss your drooling wet pussy. Your back arched off the bed as he started flicking his tongue at your clit- hungrily tasting at you like a kid in a candy store. You tasted divine and he was needy for more. More of everything. He lapped up your arousal a your hands tugged at his hair, he groaned into your skin and it made your insides buzz. It felt incredible and all because he was spoiling you rotten.

‘’You taste so fucking sweet. Sweet all for me.’’

not to brag but when i saw the grill the grid challenge i went ‘oh i could totally do that’ and then i only got 3 wrong

(the crossed out names are the ones i got wrong)

i rly underestimated how long button’s winless streak was (despite knowing it was 6 years. i was under time pressure)

[vro0m]

so lewis has said before that he doesn't recognize the person he was in 2016 (or something along those lines) and i was just reading your bahrain 2016 review where he was talking about the mental side of driving and how he was basically saying drivers shouldn't need a coach especially a mental one. and then you also pointed out that angela had started working with him (was it 2016? i thought i heard somewhere they started working together mid-2015 but anyway) and we know lewis has also credited angela with introducing him to things like meditation, veganism (i think), etc... but it got me thinking, like, if 2016 lewis met 2023 lewis, what would he think? what would he think about what happened in 2021 and his subsequent winless streak? what would he think about his relationships with other drivers, how he's started to isolate himself less? what would he think about his activism (of particular interest to me, his embracement of the queer community)? lewis has grown and changed so much over the last 5/6/7 years, but i''m not sure 2016 lewis was ready for that change yet.

Yeah good points Anon. I do wonder what the extent of Angela's influence on him is. I have no idea when they started working together, as far as I know I didn't see her during the 2015 rewatch?

I don't know what 2016!Lewis would think of 2023!Lewis. I think he'd be pissed about 2021 just like 2023!Lewis is, and I don't think he'd take the winless seasons very well but I don't think 2023!Lewis really does either so. Maybe some things don't change that much lol? Imo 2016!Lewis was too focused on his battle with Nico to see anything else and it was rotting him inside so I'd agree he wasn't ready for that change yet but like. Change happens in a subtle way. I don't think anyone could be ready for 6 years worth of change at once. As for the queer activism, the whole issue with the dress and his nephew happened in 2017 so... yeah.

I'd be more interested to know what 2023!Lewis thinks of 2016!Lewis actually. He said he's a better driver and a better teammate, but I feel like it tells us more about how he perceives himself now than how he perceives who he used to be, if you know what I mean?

Tech1 Racing was having a winless season at EFR '14. For the season's finale, they decide to bring George in as guest driver

George came in and brought home a pole position, win, and fastest lap for Tech1 Racing. He also broke Nyck De Vries and Koiranen's win streak at that time

Gwen Lagrue, who was still in Lotus, was the one who set George up for that one race with Tech1 Racing. He recommended George to the owner of Tech1 Racing, Simon Abadie.

George ended up ending Tech1 Racing's winless streak and defeated the current champion, Nyck De Vries.

[daegorth]

YOOOOOOOOOO. WE WON! MESSI GOAL IN THE FINAL. COLD AF MESSI PENALTY. CALLENDER GOAT GOALKEEPING. HE ALSO SCORED A BANGER PEN.

MESSI THE PLAYER WITH THE MOST TITLES IN THE HISTORY OF THE SPORT.

I'm so happy guys😭😭😭😭😭

Messi, Busi and Alba take a team at the bottom of the league and bring it to their first ever trophy. They were in a 11 matches winless streak before they got here, and now they went on a 7 games win streak, scored 22 goals in 7 games.

This guy is really football's main character uh?
