UPDATES FROM SILVERSTONE???? 👹👹👹

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

so. where do i start.

i had to tap out LOL. the weather was just so so horrible and i was there to work and good lord. i had so many bad blisters to the point that my toes had doubled in size (sorry for the tmi but it was not a good time) and i somehow had heatstroke and a cold at the same time. let me tell you, camping in storms like that is NOT fun i was holding down my flooded tent through thunder and lightning.

aside from that i had a blast! i won’t post pics because i like to keep my face separate from this blog but i took a diy hat that was very special to me and got it signed by both lando and alex! alex was just the nicest guy ever but lando did seem a lil moody but i guess it was 8am.

i also met este bestie who was so so so nice and also stopped for a picture!

others i saw pretty close up was charles (AND LEO), lewis (AND ROSCOE), carlos, zhou, kevin and george!

also got papped by kym illman and sky f1 LOL.

overall, my fave time of the year and i’ll be more prepared for a storm next time!

F1 Asks

I saw one of my favorites (@astonmartinii) do this, and I wanted to join lol Not tagging anyone else, but if you want to, do it!

Who is your favourite driver?

It may not look like it on my blog, but Max is my #1 lol

Do you have other favourite drivers?

Of the current grid, Max Oscar, and Logan have been my top three. I love them with a passion and it hurts to see that hate Logan gets. He was promoted too soon in my opinion. And a side note, while I love Kimi Antonelli, even promoting him in 2025 could be too soon.

Of all time, Kimi, Seb, and Lewis (honorable mention Jenson) are my boys. Honestly GOATS <3

Who is your least favourite driver?

I have passionate dislikes for Carlos Sainz and Daniel Ricciardo I'm sorry girlies. I tried writing for Daniel once and I cannot bring myself to even try it again.

Do you pull for drivers or do you like teams as well?

Drivers mostly. I used to consider myself a Red Bull and McLaren fan, but I can't stand behind a team's actions. I'd rather say I'm a Max, Checo, Lando, and Oscar fan.

If you like teams, who do you pull for?

If I had to, Red Bull and McLaren. Next year, I might add Ferarri to this list because that Charles-Lewis lineup is gonna be insane if Ferarri can back it up.

How long have you been into F1?

Actively watching, since 2022. Of handily, since 2020.

What got you into F1?

Something stupid lol... I was on twitch during lockdown and Lando was streaming I can't remember, it was either Among Us or CS:GO. Quarantine was a dark time for me, and his content made me laugh. I did some digging and found out he was in F1. I closely followed until I was able to afford F1TV.

Also, My dad was a big NASCAR guy, and we would go to NASCAR races every year. I met so many drivers (Jeff Gordin, Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, and Dale Earnheart Jr. I can remember) because we would get to go down to the paddock. My dad built the communications in the stadium where the track was, so they hooked us up every time. I was used to race cars from a young age, so when I started watching F1 more, it was reminiscent.

do you enjoy fanfic/RPF?

I mean, I write for it now so yeah lol. Honestly though, it's draining sometimes, and I have to take breaks. That; 's why I usually limit it to 2 posts a week, so I can line it up for weeks straight. I used to not post for months at a time, but I'm getting better.

how do you view new fans?

I don't think new fans deserve the hate for liking something, especially girls. Like girls get hated for liking anything, and it's not like they should get hated for living. Coming from a girl who likes a lot of sports, the hate I get is fucking draining. New fans are just as eager about the sport as we are. If you're new and want to ask questions or fan with me, PLEASE! MY INBOX AND MESSAGES ARE ALWAYS OPEN.

If you could take over as any team principal for any team who would it be and why?

Don't get me wrong, I love Toto, but wtf is happening to Mercedes? It's like every year, it's getting worse. So that would be an option for me. Also, Christian, I'm sorry but wtf. Not only the mistreatment of your junior drivers but the mistreatment of your female employees? Nah, man. Get out, and I'll take over.

Are your friends and family into F1 as well?

Not exactly. As I said earlier, my dad is a NASCAR guy. He doesn't like open-wheel racing, but I'm slowly converting him to Indy at least. I'll get him on the F1 train eventually.

Are you open to talking to other fans/making friends?

Always! My inbox and messages are always open and I am the President of Yappsville and will not shut up.

Hi, I saw on your post that you went to Silverstone last year and I'm going for the first time this year. I just wanted to ask how it was? And also which drivers did you get to meet.

heyyyy!

yes i have been to silverstone twice now and through volunteering with the track (imo the best way to do it if you don't have money)

if we're putting meet in loose terms i've technically met everyone? idk i was working in the zone where there was a private signing so helped all of their taxis in and out of the venues so was within 2ft of all of them and got to say hi through a car window?

but from that i did actually meet valterri who cycled in? he was so nice and said thank you to all of the volunteers.

ALEX? omg so i met him last year but a rude man pushed in front of me before i could ask him for a picture or to sign something so remember to be adequately pushy! but alex was so nice and stopped for nearly everyone.

very briefly met lewis - as in he stopped and said hi to us after being so late to an on-stage interview we had to work an extra two hours on top of our 12 hour shift but he's so pretty irl?

david coulthard? him and his white jeans i saw so many times also jenson is so sexy irl but i only saw him in his car :(

i saw seb on his lil gay bike many times (he was so close to me one of the times in 2022)

i've seen jack doohan on a lil run but he was in the zone so i didn't bother him (i'm also terrified of asking for anything so....)

george is very nice as well, i didn't directly talk to him but he stopped for all of the kids

although lando and i have one-sided beef as for the signing mentioned earlier, not many people knew - hence meeting valterri UNTIL lando beeped the horn. so that one video of the guy asking sainz for third at silverstone 22' is about five seconds before i'm ran over (jk) because everyone now knew they were there and were throwing themselves at the ferrari taxi

DANIEL i saw him in his car and he was 2ft away from me when i was wearing his shirt and a cowboy hat but i just froze and we just smiled at each other for a good 30 seconds lol i'm a pussy

but overall I LOVE SILVERSTONE honestly best time ever. everyone is so nice and it honestly feels like a festival! the music is really good but remember a fold up coat and a bunch of sun cream cause that place has a climate unlike no where else - also PORTABLE CHARGER!

i hope you enjoy!

(also expect guilty as sin part two some time this weekend folks, i just finished an interview and have no weekend plans bar the monaco gp)
