I honestly think Checo Perez did not think through his GP strategy. Sure, he arrived second, but this is what he has to deal with now. Is it worth it, Checo? Is it truly worth it?
all the thinkpieces about carlos' performance over charles lately are we forgetting we've been here already. carlos is a great midfield driver who shines in a midfield car. charles shines in a race winning car because he has what it takes to push that car to the limit. do not forget just because carlos won in singapore it's because of the actual frontrunners underperforming--ferrari this year is. a midfield car.
Carlos lately is wearing a lot of Ferrari merch, like sweaters
Charles on the other hand is wearing his fashion line clace, which is suspicious since ferrari didn't allow him before...
This could be a sign only carlos is renewing
oh, the carlos detail is very interesting. i had noticed that vaguely but filed it away as “carlos trying to make himself ferrari in the way charles is” in order to help his contract negotiations… but, with charles wearing dior and clace in contrast it definitely tells a story.
carlos is trying to tie himself more heavily to ferrari as a brand while charles is distinguishing his personal brand from ferrari. can honestly interpret that both ways (1. carlos is staying and building his connection to ferrari, while charles is preparing to leave; or 2. charles has already resigned and comfortably had a new contract allowing him greater freedom, while carlos is still trying to get his contract renewed and needs the bargaining power).
i need like an awkward comedy script fic about divorced sebchal who are still on "good terms" like reuniting for a dinner party where seb is meeting charles new boyfriend carlos for the first time i just need like low stakes romantic drama and funnies
my f1 fanfic pet peeve is "charles leclerc is a red bull driver". it literally makes no sense to me. that man is was like molded for ferrari. you really think he's leaving them???? like i feel like everyone forgets that he chooses them. he chooses them every time!!! he's not fucking stupid. if they really were shit, he would've fuckin left by now. but he hasn't!!!! because he believes in them!!!! he is their little champion in the making!!!!! he is their predestined!!!! they are his dream!!!! they are his home!!!!!! he'd look ugly in navy blue anyway
Fred, my friend, maybe if you had aked CS to cover for Charles at the start this wouldn't have happened? Rb would have catched up anyway because their car is better but at the same time you would have avoided the crash, but obviously only Charles has to be a teamplayer
