Saw a tweet saying Charles “newly” followed (he’s been following them for years) Haas on Instagram and everyone in the replies and qrts were like “woohoo! Charles and Ollie lineup!!”
Do y’all realize how insanely disrespectful that is to Esteban?
You’re implying that Haas would essentially just dump him for Charles.
Which is actually an insane assumption because assuming Charles following Haas on Instagram meant anything (it doesn’t) and he was switching teams (he’s not), it’d most likely end up being Charles and ESTEBAN at Haas, not Charles and Ollie.
Guys, use your brains.
Ollie is on loan from Ferrari.
If Charles left Ferrari for Haas, then Ollie would probably go to fucking Ferrari 🤦🏻♀️
hi! this is vivi aka bearmanenjoyer on twitter aka the person who made the tweet op is talking about! i’d just like to clear up some stuff. here’s the tweet -
this tweet was basically an amalgamation of a bunch of different jokes.
- leclerc following haas. op said that he’s been following for years which is not true actually. the image in the tweet is one i made on canva within 5 minutes; it’s photoshopped. leclerc did an fp1 for haas in 2016 at silverstone but doesn’t follow them on instagram. the only teams he follows are ferrari and sauber. there’s this joke on football twt that’s been going around - it involves photoshopped images of players following certain lower tier clubs on instagram and using it as “oh this player’s going to play for this team!” it’s funny because said lower tier team is obviously a worse choice than the team the player is currently in. see how that ties back to ferrari and haas?
- the great haas shift. “the great xyz team shift” is a term leclerc fans have been using IN JEST to talk about their problems with ferrari. think of it as a “leclerc should go to this team!” sort of thing. even backmarkers like haas and sauber are included, which should tell you all about the seriousness of this trend. why would leclerc leave ferrari and go to haas, which arguably have the 8th/9th fastest car? it’s obviously a joke.
- the leclerc-bearman lineup. this was a nod to what will most likely be the ferrari lineup in a few years time. it’s not delusional to say that once hamilton leaves, ollie will be his replacement. charles and ollie are my top 2 drivers - this was just me joking about them being in a team together. make no mistake - i never intended to make esteban look “disposable” in any way, and im sorry if my tweet came across that way. his performances with the haas this year have been amazing.
that’s it. i can understand why some of you might’ve seen this as an attack towards certain drivers but at the end of the day this was just me being silly and trying to joke about charles’ struggles in ferrari. that’s it. no other shady intentions. thanks
