the vibes at this year's australian gp are truly something else. like. the scuderia ferrari garage has been vibing to the same neapolitan song for a month now. charles leclerc says, unprovoked and for the second time since they're teammates, that he does NOT want to shower with carlos sainz. lewis hamilton implies max verstappen has a nipple piercing then asks george russel to call him SIR hamilton. sergio perez claims he has seen marx verstappen lying naked on the floor. pierre gasly responds to the FIA's sudden obsession with drivers' underwear and jewelry by offering to show them his arse AND c0ck. sebastian vettel gets fined for stealing a marshal's scooter. also there is a war going on between canadians and one of them gets a grid penalty which results in him going from 20th to... 20th
On one hand you have Horner saying women are becoming fans of f1 because they're attracted to the pretty pretty men. On the other hand you have Lewis saying women should be part of the stewerding body making decisions and that we need diversity in this sport......the difference. The sheer ocean of difference between lewis hamilton and christrian horner.
Ranking F1 teams based on their photography skills
The only bragging rights I have is that I am a fine art student and photography is a million times harder than everybody thinks it is, this includes knowing your lighting and editing afterwards. We go from best to worst!
1. Mercedes
They genuinely know what they’re doing. Like their lighting is always fucking great, studio or outside they really know it! They never over edit their pictures, just the needed touch up and some colour correcting. They also know how to work with coloured lighting and play in editing in ways I feel like other teams lack a lot.
2. McLaren
Really between McLaren and Aston on the same place but I’m giving it to McLaren because their creativity it’s great. Like they also do amazing studio photography and I am a sucker for how they use their coloured lighting. Not all pictures are as good as the others but the overwhelming majority is!
3. Aston Martin
They have a dark vibe going on which really goes well with their colours. Sometimes it’s too dark but I really love the mysterious look and how well it goes with the green. Found some orange skin tone pics so minus points for that
4. Red bull
Solely because they have Vlad as a team photographer, if he wasn’t there they would be way down on the list. That man single handed saves their entire photography existence. Anyway yeah I just really love his artistic styles and the way he captures people, the rest of the photos are very mediocre. (Also I do like their evening pictures tho, they know how to work the dark)
5. Haas
Actually surprisingly their photography is quite good, they know what to do and I do like some of the filters they add. We do no speak about their videos though, because of that blue lighting/filter alone they would be on the bottom of the list.
6. Alfa Romeo
In contrary to Ferrari Alfa do know how to work their red! But some of the pictures are way too light and overshadowed by white. I do like how they work their colours tho!
7. Alpha Tauri
I know you’re probably wondering why so low but I truly do not enjoy it. Like their ideas are quite creative but it’s often too white or just so bland it’s not even attractive??? Like do you see Yuki’s skin in that picture? Hell fucking no man.
8. Williams
It truly pains me putting them here but, they don’t always know their lighting, the pictures are over horribly sharp, like they’ve turned it all up. Pls don’t ever do that it makes your pictures look weird. And we’ll the Alex pictures is just not okay, the lighting is gross and the colour saturation is all the way down. But then on the other hand quite some pictures are nice just yeah, they deserve a lot better.
9. Alpine
Yeah not that much of a fan like most pictures are way too orange, there are some good ones but no.
10. Ferarri
I feel like they did not go with everybody in terms of social media. I haven’t even selected the worst ones because I know they exist but the over saturation just fucks with me so so so bad. The photography is quite good in terms of composition but the afterwards editing is what ruins it every time and it’s just so not necessary.
