Happy Simi day!
bonus:
"I promised Kimi that one day I would beat him [at badminton]. We're both getting older. I'm eight years younger than him, so at the latest when he's really old and I'm just a younger old man, I'll beat him in that game." - Seb, 2008
"He said to me that he is gonna beat me when I get older, but so far it hasn't happened." - Kimi, 2021
"I knew Kimi coming up through the go karting ranks people already saying great things, so I was keeping an eye on it. I think what is impressive; naturally quick, what I like he's level headed, calm."
"I think those are great qualities to have, and I was never in doubt that podium would come this year. He had a few unlucky races, one of them in the sprint was also my fault with the pit stop but it was just a matter of time and I am very happy that the podium happened for him. Gives you more confidence, a nice boost."
"It will only get better. So many things will come at you in your rookie season, you'll learn from the weaker and good races.."
"In the coming years, we will see a lot more from Kimi."
max: i know he'll brake because i have a wife and two kids
also props to charles for not using the word 'incident' once in all the interviews, he has infinitely better self control (and survival instincts) than I
the law of equivalent exchange is the max thesis. you can't have imola turn one, suzuka pole, the entirety of brazil or even austin without hungary and mexico and spain. something cannot be made from nothing. it's two sides of the same coin. the same thing eating him up inside. the same choking grip of perfectionism pushing him above and beyond and occasionally over the edge
actually he's NOT allowed to sign the champagne for his sisters again. I'll have a breakdown about it.
a bit on the side of all the other drama but how come the only time ferrari have good strategy it was all masterminded by charles
"please ask charles questions cause he needs to leave in 5 minutes to see the stewards"
oscar and charles faces:
See this is why I love Nico commentary bc everyone else watched Max hit George and went "...well, that wasn't so great"
While Nico immediately goes "he HIT him. On PURPOSE. He just SLOWED DOWN and SLAMMED INTO HIM. Like ROSSI ON MARQUEZ"
oscar LEAPING out of the way to avoid giving lando a tow is so funny

What was your first simulator experience? Like, do you remember? Like a video game or whatever, like where it started for you?
Well, I remember I was like three or four years old when my dad was still racing in F1. That I saw this like little mock up, like cockpit, and I was trying to squeeze into it. I was of course, way too small, but they found a way with pillows that I could– that I could drive basically. Someone was controlling the pedals and I was steering, already. So that's my– that's my first memory.
funniest possible outcome if max had won bc of a red flag i think charles wouldve actually murdered him
I dont trust ferrari or rb fp standings for equal but opposite reasons

GP: "And Sainz now at 2.5."
Max: "Mate, please tell me that a bit sooner, you know. In this section 2 seconds is nothing."
GP: "Lawson 15 seconds."
