hi!

this is my sideblog to post about all things f1, i like and follow from @yawping-poets-society

you can call me m, or russ! in f1, my favorite driver is george russell, but i really like alex albon too. mercedes is my favorite team and i'll root for williams as well

i love doriane pin and am eagerly awaiting whatever she does next!

send me an ask if you wanna chat!

f1 is so homophobic culturally that every so often they just assign a driver gay (in spite of all evidence suggesting they’re not gay) purely so they have a direction to point said homophobia in. they will also develop very weird and aggressive psychosexual attitudes towards them.

this post is about nico rosberg and george russell specifically.

NO I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT LANDO NORRIS.

lando norris is not subjected to disgusting remarks made loudly to the press by other drivers and f1 personnel that are homophobic/misognyistic because they strongly imply deviant levels of femininity in the target driver. this has historically been reserved for nico rosberg and george russell. george russell took heat for trying to get showering facilities for all drivers post-race because it’s apparently unmasculine to want to rinse the sweat off yourself and did he want a hairdryer too???? hahahaha!!!! nico rosberg and george russell have been/are currently being routinely referred to as “princess”, “pretty”, by girls names other than their own.

lando norris may occasionally be referred to as a twink on f1 forums or social media by fans but this is not what i am talking about.

listen i think it's valid to be upset about the wdc and feel like things didn't go your driver's way but to me it doesn't make sense to act like the sole reason for the outcome was. outright sabotage? formula 1 has so many varied and complex factors that contribute to the result of every race. sometimes that's a dnf caused by another driver. sometimes that's a mechanical dnf or dsq. sometimes it's a bad strategy call. sometimes, it's your driver's fault for qualifying low or making a mistake!

sure, if x y and z races had gone differently, maybe lando wouldn't have been world champion. if he hadn't had a mechanical dnf at zandvoort, the margin would've been larger. if max hadn't driven into george in spain he could've won. if oscar hadn't put it into the wall in baku he might've been closer on lando's tail. if my mom had balls, she would be my dad, guys. circumstance and chance events are a major part of f1!

all this to say, whether or not you think lando is the "worthy" champion, he's the one who won. that's a combination of his good races and good luck and other driver's bad races and bad luck. in another year it might've been different but this year it wasn't. i struggle with the amount of energy some people put into hating him just because of circumstances that didn't favor their driver.

and this isn't to say that i don't think max or oscar could've been a worthy winner!! they just weren't this year. that's how it goes sometimes.
