I haven't drawn Mick in a while and I was inspired to do it yesterday after seeing him getting his first podium for Alpine on WEC! So proud of him, he did an amazing race. Always gonna be supporting this guy <3

max going on a cunty anti fia campaign and getting all the attention after scoring front row on a track he historically despises and taking all the spotlight off mclaren... main character behaviour

[jessicaestellex]

got fia mandated community service for saying 'fuck', refused to speak, and held his own press conference outside. max verstappen everyone

[jessicaestellex]

george swearing on the radio. lewis encouraging max to skip community service. max holding his own press conference outside. charles being "very polite" in his interview. 🎶 we're all in this together 🎶 FIA didn't see these bitches coming

[jessicaestellex]

Q: You asked Lando, what he said when he almost hit the wall, now that you're not allowed to swear, what answer did you get?

Oscar: ✨️ Funked...✨️ was the word. So, no community service for him

his instant smile ☠️😁

You know if this is Daniel's last race the thing that really gets me is the horseshit management of Red Bull/VCARB

Checo isn't fast enough. You're in danger of losing your constructors. So you decide you're probably going to put Daniel in the Red Bull seat in the summer. You send messages ahead to the next race to tell people not to put up Checo's promotional images.

Not so fast, Checo's sponsors say, so you leave Perez in the seat and give up on the constructors' because it's easier to get money from sponsorship than to cover the constructors'.

You want more points with VCARB, you say. You want more points but you keep effing up both your drivers with strategy and putting upgrades on the car that make them go backwards.

I know what we'll do, you say. We'll leave Daniel out for the wolves in Singapore and tell media that it isn't his last race until oops, it might be. We haven't told him though, so he can't say a proper goodbye if it is. We'll just hand him one last shit strategy and watch as he swallows it and takes fastest lap to help Max's championship. For shits and giggles we'll kill Yuki's strategy too, for fairness.

But if Daniel's gone after Singapore, what will Red Bull/VCARB do?

Let's see here. You have Checo, who went backwards in Singapore and can't help the constructors. You have Yuki, who's fast on track but can't give feedback well and has trouble keeping his emotions down on track. You have Liam, who's all well and deserving of a VCARB seat but won't be ready for Red Bull until a few years later.

You have nobody. You still haven't solved the problem of Max's teammate after six years. You refuse to let go of Checo, who shouldn't have been here after the summer break. You won't ever take the chance and promote Yuki to see if a stint in a senior team will work out for him. You'll have fired your best development and update feedback driver for your secondary team.

Carlos has gone to Williams. George, which Christian mentioned, won't ever leave Mercedes. Oscar and Lando will stay at McLaren. You asked Alex last year, and Alex laughed in your face.

And Max can no longer win the constructors' by himself in the car you give him.

It started in the summer break. Red Bull took a gun and pointed it in their own faces and slowly pulled back the trigger and it was only until now, six races from the end off the season, that we see what the bullet will do.

something about how in abu dhabi 2021 daniel was the only car not allowed to unlap himself so he had a first row seat to max winning his first championship and saying 'if it can't be me im happy it's him' and how on his rumoured last race he did everything the could to salvage a single point for max ensuring that max can finish second to lando every race and still win the championship

you get it i don't have to type it

Seriously, Max handled this thing so perfectly.

He attended the press conference

He answered without really answering

He made sure reporters knew it wasn't aimed at them

He still gave the reporters what they wanted on his own terms

He has everyone behind him

Managed to give FIA a perfect fuck you without having to say it.

👏👏👏

"He's always been very appreciative of our friendship and supportive. Even after Japan this year I was getting quite a lot of stick, and he [Max] was one of the only guys who sent me a text and said 'mate keep your head up. We know what you're capable of, don't listen to the noise.' So I respect and appreciate him a lot."

It's just so absolutely crazy how close Max and Daniel got despite the things that happened when they were teammates. Max is essentially the reason Daniel left and his career went spiralling. Max is the one who came in and became the golden child when Daniel was the WDC hope after Vettel. Max who watched Daniel with heart eyes from day 1. Daniel who taught Max they can be teammates and friends at the same time. And he left and they missed each other, went on vacations, and introduced each other to their friends circle, who watched one rise and rise, and the other struggle. And it all, ALL, comes down to "if it's not me, I'm glad it's him" and "thank you, Daniel" ALWAYS

[jessicaestellex]

PIT: "And your old pal Daniel picked up the fastest lap at the end."

Max: "Thank you Daniel."

[jessicaestellex]

Daniel I can’t with all these interviews 😭😭

[jessicaestellex]

Daniel's doing just as much for Max/Red Bull's championship this race IN A VCARB as Perez IN A RED BULL. Let that sink in 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤

[jessicaestellex]

max loves daniel so much and daniel loves max so much and no matter what happens no one can take that away from them or us
