10 THINGS I LOVE

RB's Japanese racer on his love of saunas, good coffee and - well, food, of course

Fashion

I like fashion. I like to choose my outfit according to my mood or where I'm going. And I like to show my colours, if you like. In short, it feels good to look good.

Food

There's no particular cuisine I like, but for me a good meal is a kind of tool to reduce stress and feel happier. It doesn't matter what kind of food it is - if it's good, I enjoy it, whether it's tacos or sushi. I really like pasta. When I'm in Italy that's what I usually eat. But it's important for me, wherever we go, to find a good restaurant so I can enjoy the food. Because in a way, as strange as it may sound, it gives me the same feeling as driving a Formula 1 car. When I drive, I just concentrate on that. It's not that I don't think - of course I do, especially during the race - but when it comes to driving, it's more about the senses than thoughts. When I'm driving I don't think about anything else. And it's almost the same with food. You just enjoy the taste and flavour - and I really like that!

Nature

We travel a lot and are surrounded by electronics and computers, Laptops, telemetry, data is our world - and sometimes it's just too much. So I like to get away from it all, to go hiking, for example, or just get out into nature and experience a different environment to Formula 1.

Jason Statham

Definitely my favourite actor, especially after meeting him in Abu Dhabi last year. I've always liked his films and Transporter is my favourite - but sometimes when you meet your hero and get to know the person better, you can be disappointed, can't you? It wasn't like that with Jason. He is such a great guy, really nice, talkative, very respectful and really, really strong! He's got everything you need. He's strong, he looks cool, he's bald. I might go bald in the future to look more like him...

Singing

I'm not the one who sings in the shower, but I do sing in the car. I just feel like it, to feel the rhythm, to have fun. And when I'm singing, I feel like a real singer.

Saunas

It's something I like to use to reset. 20 minutes in the sauna, then a cold shower and lying down - at that moment I feel like I'm in space. And it is an incredible feeling. It feels like your body is resetting itself. It feels like all the stress I have, it just comes out with the sweat, so after the sauna I feel fresh. Like a brand new me. It's funny, I didn't really like it before, but my friends kept telling me how great it was. So one day I just decided to give it another try and finally understood what they were talking about. Now it's one of my favourite things to do: just go to the sauna and relax.

Coffee

I have a good coffee machine at home. I like to grind coffee beans in the morning and make myself a good cup of coffee. Good coffee makes my day.

Wine

I don't drink alcohol very often, to be honest. And I'm not a guy who knows a lot about wine, about different types and varieties of wine. I'm not an expert, if you like. But it's nice to have a glass of wine with good food. It helps you enjoy it even more

Apex Legends

I used to play a lot more when I moved to Europe from Japan - and Apex Legends was my favourite game. I don't play as much now, but during my junior career it was a way to keep in touch with my friends in Japan because we were so far apart. Of course you can call and chat, but doing something together, playing and talking at the same time, is a lot more fun.

Football

I sometimes play football with the mechanics, engineers and other guys from the team in Faenza. And I love it. Because first of all I like the game itself, but then it's also good to hang out with the guys from the team - especially considering that it's usually the guys who don't go to races and stay at the factory, so it's also a good opportunity to bond with them.

HE'S HERE. YUKI WANTS UPPIES!

I crawled out of depression just to draw this. 😵 Was worth it.

[leham-n-daavocado]

I feel like the ultimate person in the wrong here was the team and their strategy calls. Daniel was on faster tires than Yuki and could have gotten past K-Mag quickly if they made the call to switch positions earlier. Yuki could have done the same move as well a bit later and maybe passed Daniel back when Daniel's tires died. It would have put both cars ahead of K-Mag and possibly others. By not doing the team orders quickly, both drivers were screwed over.

Instead, Yuki got called to let Daniel past when Daniel's tires were gone, so Daniel couldn't go anywhere. This meant Daniel was defending against Yuki, and Yuki couldn't go anywhere either. Finally, to add insult to injury, they had to let Max through when he was lapping them which exacerbated the distance to K-Mag. ...And they didn't switch them back. Basically, their strategists really dropped the ball on this, first with the timing of the switch for Daniel's tires to have a potential advantage, and for not being aware of Max lapping drivers. They should have just told Yuki Daniel is on softs, you can get him back later. Do the switch before Max laps you. No one wants to switch when they're told. Give reasons.

Lastly, Yuki does have a right to be angry and express that. However, doing that on a live track in his car at the end of the race is not the right time, nor is it the right action. And therefore, it would not be wrong to call that immature. However, we also have to acknowledge that Yuki is going to face much harsher consequences and punishment for his actions than any number of white drivers.

Basically, all this could have been avoided with proper communication from the team...

Pierre wants Yuki so badly it’s actually embarrassing to watch

[asherscake]

Yuki is like a cat.

Lays his head on your thighs wanting to be babied and for you to play with his hair.

And the next second he has you pinnedd under him, leaving choke marks on your neck while fucking you senseless, having a cocky smirk painted on his lips.

alex can’t look at his screen coz it’s brighter than the sun, charles can’t brake, lewis’ ass did break the seat, yuki’s gonna beat up someone in the garage and max is more than 20 seconds ahead of everyone.
