the thing about charles leclerc is his hunger runs deep and i think that’s the place where sainz has never been able to match him
because objectively sainz is a pretty good driver but it’s like he views his drives as a separate entity, an accomplishment to be won where charles is his drive, he views them as an extension of himself
it’s why sainz so often after races will be placated with a p2, p3, p4, even p5 but even on a day when charles made up 16 places to go from the back of the grid to the podium he won’t be happy
i think their behavior after the race exemplifies this because while carlos immediately turned to congratulate mclaren, you could see charles was mourning something. and it’s not as if he was displaying bad sportsmanship, when they were in the cooldown room and on the podium he congratulated zak and lando, but those moments right after the race you could see he wasn’t even thinking about himself, or his own race, but what the team had lost
in the end, carlos sainz is a driver for ferrari while charles leclerc is a ferrari driver
ferrari bottling the first race will create a satisfying underdog winner story and create an exciting trajectory and that's why we are the best team in the sport actually
alice who we shipping charles with if max retires after this gp?
I’d like to quote my dear friend @omegalerc:
But if you’re referring to week to week content, lewis x Charles will take off if their dynamic is compelling enough. Also keep an eye on oscar. He’s not a worthy replacement for max yet but he’ll get there once he finds that dawg in him
THE DUTCH DRIVER WILL RETAIN HIS CROWN! MAX VERSTAPPEN IS A FOUR-TIME FORMULA 1 WORLD CHAMPION!
alt version + bonus yapping under the cut
this was an absolute beast to put together! i had a feeling i was gonna wanna draw something for max's 4th title but honestly didn't think about it until i was already there in vegas watching the race and basically rushed home to start working on this immediately
sooooo happy i was able to witness his 4th championship in person, definitely not gonna forget that anytime soon!!!!!!!!!
anyways fun easter egg is that i drew max's helmets for each year from clubs -> spades ascending from 2021-2024!! pain in the ass for real but the details were important to me so i chose to suffer
hope u guys enjoy!
At the company retreat, one extremely drunk girl asked what my pronouns were. (Eventually, it took her a while to word the question.) After the whole conversation was done, she goes- "YEAHHH GURL, Get on with--with THY bad self! See what I did?? They/them/thy."
I was almost holding back tears from trying not to laugh as I told her yes that's great you nailed it honey. Thank you very much I am feeling the love.
Anyway I've been assigned Thee/Thine at Supportive Drunk Girl
back to discuss our 171619th proof of omegalerc for the day: the way his pheromones have people acting in public
Gold star ⭐ to everyone who made it to the end of this crazy weekend
Chai tea bag + lil but of brown sugar + apple cider packet + 16 oz. mug of hot but not quite boiling water

my favorite charles terror child story is the one of him winning a race with a 39° fever that should immobilize you into a bed but instead he wouldn't even miss one fp session x
@bitingdrivers here you gooooo, wait for me next year i’ll cook a better one 😔🫰🏻
"Oh, you're a lecfosi because you're attracted to Charles."
No, actually. It's because he's one of the best drivers on the grid. His talent, speed, and racing skill speak for themselves. Plus this
