So, im watching a short documentary type video about Lewis’ rookie season in F1 and damn!

They basically set up his early career and his entry into F1.

In 2007, Fernando, who was a 2x WDC winner and reigning champion at the time, got into McLaren and saw a championship winning car and obviously wanted to keep winning.

But, it was rumoured/reported in the media that he questioned the team’s decision to hire a rookie. The article said that Alonso, allegedly, thought it was too easy and that McLaren was essentially throwing the season away bc they had an incredible car. But fernando went with it bc, in his mind, the battle for his 3rd wdc was half won.

The documentary showed a picture of lewis and Fernando (idk if it was from one of their first meetings and before the season began), but Fernando has a smirk on his his face and lewis is smiling. Fernando looks like he’s thinking that this is gonna be easy, peasy.

THEN, the first race happens. Lewis drove like a madman. Qualified 4th and two-tenths faster than Fernando.

That Sunday in Australia, Lewis finished his first ever f1 race on the podium, in 3rd place and Alonso’s face on that podium celebration is just… he looks like he’s seen a ghost. I googled the celebration to look at other photos and he looks very absentminded. He’s definitely lost in thought and i dont blame him. Lewis not only managed to keep up with him (fernando finished 2nd and kimi won), but he almost showed him up and now poses a serious threat to his reign.

Anyway, i just wanted to share that bc it was crazy to watch the start of a crazy rivalry through images.

Super fun watch!

Everything about this picture is killing me. Lewis with a straight face, not looking at Fernando as he pours champagne over his head. Fernando’s just standing there looking straight ahead as Lewis pours the champagne.
