Reblogged
people calling this season boring confuse the shit out of me. we have two friends giving each other hearteyes as top rivals. rookies keep being punted at their home races. the guy everyone hates for things all the other guys also do just went from 40 points behind to 24 points ahead. a rookie just got a second place in a main race. the goat and the prince of monaco just said fuck you to their higher up by subtweeting them. the backmarkers have old man yaoi storylines going on off the track. we had both aston martins qualify above the reigning champion. the diva of the grid has consistently given us epic monologues. the guy who was thrown out of the prestigious team with his bestie in it dragged the midfield car to a podium and called it his best podium ever. and then proceeded to roadtrip home with that bestie. the oldest man on the grid decided to DNF himself without pre-warning by just coming into the pits. a rookie defended successfully against the reigning champion for several laps and made it look easy. there were two races with a double DNF for Ferrari where Kimi was involved in DNFing the prince of Monaco. we've had some of the cleanest driving, defending and overtaking between number four and number sixteen in the US and we got a show of people online being pissed at clean racing because the one doing it was, again, the guy they all hate for things others on the grid have done worse. we've had early 2000s levels of ass grabbing this season. we've had an argentinian defying team orders. we've had grandpa yelling at cloud meme. we've had surprise pole positions. we've had a collective hatred for a guy from new zealand not driving properly. we've had a thai masterclass in overtaking. we've had hulk podium. we've had whiny boys on radio. we've had race engineers gentle parenting their driver. we've had hilarious racing incidents. we've had divorced couple on track.
and you call it boring because *checks notes* the team that has had no number one driver even over a decade ago decided to stick to that and *checks notes again* the best car wins in a racing category that's about not having fully equal cars so for once the top two cars are from the same team because that team isn't the energy drink company that has consistently treated their second seat like dirt...got it!
literalmente cada carrera es igual no hay acción son simplemente coches dando vueltas, no es porque McLaren tenga un coche rápido es porque ha hecho que una competición que pueda ser interesante por el hecho de que halla un nuevo campeón del mundo aburrido. Lo único interesante ha sido: los rookies, uno solo que ha llegado dos veces al podio; Franco Colapinto desobedeciendo a Alpine; esperar que Ferrari por fin tenga un buen premio; y Max Verstappen carreando carreras con un tractor.
Y la gente odia a Norris por sus constantes comentarios de superioridad cuando hasta hace un año era incapaz de hacer nada con uno de los mejores coches de la parilla. Sus top momentos: en el poderío del circuito de las Américas diciendo que sería más interesante si la pista fuera más fácil, solo hizo falta ver las caras de Leclerc y Verstappen; el odio viene desde la temporada pasado cuando en el GP de Sao Paulo dijo que Max Verstappen solo había tenido suerte y no talento a la hora de ganar (salió desde el P17); o cuando le dijo a Lewis Hamilton que ahora ellos eran quienes tenían el coche más rápido (lo que es verdad) peor que el (Lewis) también tuvieron el coche más rápido (también es verdad) pero el McLaren nunca ha sido un mal coche y Norris ha sido incapaz de ganar cuando su compañero de equipo si lo hacía.
Además,si hemos visto preferencias por quién es el primer piloto como es el caso de Redbull, pero McLaren ha tenido problemas en determinar si Norris o Piastri lo que ha llevado que un piloto con toda la ventaja (Piastri) pierda el mundial incluso cuando ha llevado en todas las carreras mejor ritmo que Norris, quien recordemos lloro para que le devolvieran la posición.
