Sorry I havenāt been here in a month I keep forgetting to post but I think itās time I make my statement. I cannot be attracted to Daniel Ricciardo because my dad and cousins basically looked identical to him back in the 90s and every time I see him I think weāre related. Mr. Ricciardo sir if your ancestry traces back to Spain, France, and/or Italy please hit me up I might be your long lost cousin 37 times removed. I canāt look at your face without seeing a 30+ year old photo of my father and it keeps me awake at night LIKE HALF OF MY FAMILY JUST LOOKS LIKE THIS
This is just me rambling but itās time I get it off of my chest I canāt go another second without speaking my truth
BIG advocate for f1 fans that donāt know anything about f1. Itās so annoying how thereās a god complex with people (men) who think you have to have an engineering degree to enjoy the sport.
I absolutely love people who understand every aspect of the sport and get really into it, donāt get me wrong!! You guys keep it real!! But also, the āyouāre only here because theyāre hotā or āI miss when we actually talked about the racingā arguments are so ridiculous.
So what if I am?? So what if I just wanna talk about how pretty the shade of Ferrari red is or how Lando looks like a rabbit in some pics??
In fact, since you said that, Iām gonna go out of my way to appear even dumber just to piss you off further. Next man that says Iām not a ārealā f1 fan, Iām gonna ask him how many tyres f1 cars have and confuse Carlos and Charles. You wanna play dumb? I can play STUPID.
āYouāre the reason we arenāt taken seriouslyā is also such an annoying, misogynistic argument. Why are you trying to pit women against each other and separate them into categories of understands vs doesnāt understand?? Acceptable vs not acceptable??
I stand with my girlies on both ends of the spectrum!! idc, grow up!! you canāt stop me!!
Idk if any of you are Max enjoyers but bestie got me his plushie from his webstore as a birthday/christmas gift and let me tell youā¦ it is a sensory HEAVEN!!!
ALLOW ME TO EXPLAIN:
His name is Jimmy and heās just so adorable and soft, but as someone who canāt sit still and often fidgets, this little dude is like a dream. His fur is so soft, his mane is a teeny tiny bit scratchy and very thick, and his toe pads are smooth and rubbery. Not to mention the embroidery on his ears is done so well and baby fine ā Iāve been rubbing his ears since I first picked him up. His head is the perfect size for my palms if that makes sense, as I have relatively small hands. His shirt is made out of the moisture wicking athletic material often found on sports jerseys (which I personally love the feel of). Heās not weighted or anything, but he has a good feel to him. His washing instruction tag even hides under his shirt so itās not in the way!
On top of that, the little lion-shaped tag on it has the cutest message š
Even if youāre not a Max fan, even if youāre not an F1 fan, GET A JIMMY!!! Itās so worth it if you have ASD, anxiety, etc ā or if you even just enjoy textures/plushies. Iām so serious, I canāt put him down. š¦
Logan using this photo from right after we met and I got to speak to him, when he was so smiley and goofy and happy all day long, makes me feel like I was a part of this.
HEāS BACK šŗšøšŗšøšŗšø HE NEVER LEFT š¦ š¦ š¦
In honor of it being one week since I met Logan, I realized a lot of people who were messaging me didnāt see the blush & the wink until I pointed it out.
I need more than just me to be aware that this happened because I genuinely think my brain gave up on trying to process it. Enjoy! š
You're also felipe fans? What's your thoughts on the hates Logan Sargeant receiving from the other felipe fans?
Well, clearly I love Logan and I donāt think he deserves the hate he gets. But I also love Felipe. I understand fan discourse and having differing opinions on different drivers, who they want on a team, who they think should be kicked out, etc. But I also think some fan discourse goes way too far.
If you like Felipe and want him on a team, thatās okay and youāre entitled to that opinion! But to go out of your way just to be mean to someone else or be hateful to their fans? Why?? I mean, none of us are above hate, but I do think public arguments should at least be kept civil.
Sports are sports. Thereās always gonna be fans who disagree, and tbh thatās part of the fun! We can all use a little banter! But if it gets to a point it starts affecting someoneās day-to-day life and mental health (ie the Nicky situation), then we need to tone it down. There is a way to have fan discourse without being so terrible to each other! You can like someone without dragging someone else down. You can express your thoughts and opinions in a respectful way. You can even get in arguments in a civil way!
At the end of the day, itās important to remember both Logan and Felipe are people, even though to us theyāre mostly just the little athletes in our phones. And if youāre gonna get THAT angry, why not at least just do it in the DMs instead of dragging someone down so publicly? Idk.
Thatās just my opinion, but Iām not much of an argumentative sports fan. I just support my boys and move on with my day.
Bro did you see they put you in the recap/on their instagram???
Oh my goddddd š Williams!!! š
The way the edited it where Logan was talking about feeling happy and comfortable, then it cut to the clip of me š„¹ thatās just the sweetest thing ever!!!
That edit makes me believe that he probably really did feel happy and got a little confidence boost from what I said. He definitely made my day so I hope the feeling was mutual! š
Just adding to what the prev anon said, but genuinely thank u sm for having the courage to support Logan with ur super kind words !! I think he really needed that, I hope he knows that there's always going to be someone in his corner cheering him on. Sometimes time I look at Logan Im reminded of when Nicky was in F1 and when I hoped for him to preform well and my heart hurts a bit ahah, I love them both sm :((
Anyways, please continue being you OP!! Your posts are so funny and I always enjoy seeing them pop up in the F1 tags. Istg ur memes are top tier lmao, have a wonderful day/night where ever you are!!
This is so SO sweet, thank you so much!
After he got his first ever points today, I canāt help but hope my encouragement gave him a lil nudge to get there. From him looking me in the eyes and saying heād push for me, to seeing him finally succeed and get his best ever position to date ā itās been so heartwarming! I know he did that for me, and of course for all of us!
Iām so glad weāre getting to see his spirits and performance be lifted up so much this week. Things are only going up from here! š„¹š„¹š
With all the chatter about Logan, I haven't had a moment to talk about my experience meeting and talking to James Vowles!
It was such an honor to be able to remind James how caring he is, and how much we appreciate his hard work and dedication to our boys. He also gave me an amazing answer when I asked why he keeps pushing and how he stays humble despite the major ups and downs of the sport. I gained a lot of respect for him when he spoke about his way of dealing with the entire team, from the engineers and media all the way to the drivers. He explained it as he doesn't like to "boss" the team around, he instead likes to befriend them, and then work together with them. He gets on their level, then goes from there. He sees everyone as an equal, and truly appreciates their hard work and effort. In any aspect of life, but so much so in F1, this is important.
Not to mention, as a woman in the middle of this crowd, he spoke to me as an equal. And ladies, you know how we're often seen as fans of this sport. James kept eye contact with me the whole time and explained himself in the most eloquent, intelligent way, and not once did I feel like a āfemale fan," just simply a fan.
[I wasnāt able to upload the entire 2-minute clip to tumblr, so click here to watch it]
He is a stand-up dude, truly. He was so, so, so sweet. A man in his position could choose to be anything, and he chose to be kind. I'm already grown, but when I grow up, I wanna be like James Vowles š
P.S. idk if anyone has ever given James a friendship bracelet, but now he has one! I made one in blue that said "Boss Man" and I think he was shocked someone gave him a gift. He wore it all day, as I was the first one to meet him after his Q&A that morning, and said it was a "very lovely" gesture. Not to mention he kept repeating "you're so kind" because of my question. š„¹
people really need to stop asking stupid questions to logan and making stupid comments about him. because if i hear another 'heyyy, what's your fav food???' or 'do you know what kilometer is??? š¤Øš¤Øš¤Ø' type of questions, i will commit a crime.
also, i just wanted to say that you really did god's work... thank you for letting him know that he's loved and supported no matter what happens. i was really happy to see that someone was actually asking real questions and telling him nice stuff š„¹š«¶š¼
To be honest, when I was in the room the atmosphere was really awkward. The host kept momentarily struggling to even find someone to ask a question, plus Logan kept downing himself and comparing his failure to Oscarās success, it was breaking my heart. He honestly looked really sad, and Iām glad I got brave enough to speak up! He seemed very anxious and a bit shy, and with the way the season is going for him + the way heās mostly just seen as a meme, he deserved to be reminded that he is a person and deserves to be where he is as much as anyone else.
He seemed really happy after I spoke to him. I even noticed that he gave the bracelets I made him to Benny, and Benny is wearing ALL of them this weekend. How sweet š„¹ I really wish the best for Logan. He seems very intelligent and sweet, and I know heāll find his way whether itās in F1 or somewhere else.
But yes, youāre right! He needs more people to voice their support. Just look at how happy and energetic he was today after the little bit of love I sent him from all of us!!! Iāve never seen him so full of life and act so silly before!!!
Little bits of kindness go a long way!! Donāt forget that (for Logan and for every aspect of life)! š
The hero we NEEDED (also your lil voice wobble I FELT THAT). he needs to know we love him
Heās actually the nicest guy ever and got so excited when I walked up for the m&g after the q&a š„¹ deserves all the love tbh š«¶š»
I also gave him and Benny some bracelets I made for them for some extra support bc they deserve it. Was the only one there going hardcore for the boy w/ my all-American āfit and LS2 merch and I donāt regret it for a second.
He definitely knows we love him guys!!!!!!!!! š
