if i had a nickel for every time max and charles mentioned that they "get along very well " in an interview for the hungarian tv, i'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

+ video proof:

He always believed they would make it to F1 together. 🥺

Max Verstappen talks about his karting days with Charles Leclerc. 🎥: post-qualifying press conference, 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix

getting a headache again because someone on twitter said (paraphrased) “my theory about lestappen so far is that max understands charles’s frustrations, and max knows charles is a better driver than his car allows him to be capable of. he is a special driver like me. that’s why we walk together”

and? the sheer poetry of someone knowing you deeply, intimately… yes, possible through the science, the data of race stats or car performance or analytics, but through all of it, it also amounts to them saying this:

I see you, I know you, you are my shadow. We push each other, and it is the closest thing to completion I might find on the track because you are my equal. This is a dance with only us in it. So take my hand.

[dannyleclerc]

[lestappenforever]

Charles being the literal epitome of "never let them know your next move" is giving me, a humble Lestappie, so much life.

A padel date is a gift that keeps on giving because you KNOW some journalist will ask about it next possible time 😏

[baiuzennsenn]

Lando Norris talks about his friendship with Max Verstappen: "We've kind of grown up - not exactly together - because we've never really raced against each other until Formula 1, but we've grown up in similar generations, similar times. We've always gotten along. Certain mentalities are similar in terms of we're here because we love it. We want to enjoy every moment that we are here in the paddock, driving cars that we love to drive. But as soon as you put the helmet on, you kind of forget about everything. We have the correct amount of respect away from the track, where you can get along and be mates." 🎥: post-qualifying press conference, F1TV
