i’m so fucking soft for dantteri. like lestappen or whatever is cute, but this is the real rivals who learnt to love each other. daniel said actively hurtful things about valtteri and his seat at mercedes, even made a bet about him losing it, and then comes back from his own career frustrations a little humbled, a little chastened, a little mellower and suddenly they’re seeking each other out in the paddock, standing chatting like gossipy old men and looking like they’re genuinely delighted to see each other. it’s just so gentle, some “we deserve a soft epilogue” shit.
(also this doesn’t even factor in daniel’s weird notice me please valtteri phase from the last couple of years)
