#and then i recall the f1tv waffle like yeah. yeah

i don’t understand the insistence media outlets have with assigning carlos the role of the underdog when the only reason he’s been second to charles has been his own performance. carlos is the one with the family wealth and the influential father in motorsport. he comes from a larger country than charles which means the pool of fans who would root for him is larger. everything is set up in his favour, there is barely a narrative to build here. “he came into charles’ team :((” yeah and he’s been consistently beaten in quali and race h2h of course ferrari are sticking with charles

charles is ferrari’s homegrown champion because he swept the junior series and he’s consistently showing great things. trying to usurp someone who has rightly earned their position is not justice, it’s schadenfreude
