I Was Always Curious About This Picture Of Nico Seemingly Upset On The Podium And Lewis Trying(?) To

i was always curious about this picture of nico seemingly upset on the podium and lewis trying(?) to comfort him so I dug up the lore.

here's nico looking gorgeously upset on podium. now let's set the scene:

it's bahrain grand prix 2015, and lewis hamilton has won 3 out of 4 races this season. the other race win? sebastian vettel. you have to realise in 2014, nico took it to the last race he was the clear title contender and now lewis and seb are above him in the standings. everyone's giving him the full checo in 2023 treatment, is rosberg a second driver now is his career OVER!!! brocedes are also beefing in the previous race, china 15

is the rosberg flop era imminent?!

hamilpole, vettel 2nd and nico 3rd in quali. race start and nico gets fucking Punted into p4. everyone thinks it's joever.

nico spends this entire race fighting for his life, battling vettel for p2 and is on his ass, forcing him into mistakes. it isn't until vettel damages his front wing and needs to pit letting nico pass. however! 14 laps to go and kimi has pitted for softs is when nico's breaks start failing. these mercs are fast but they're not reliable. kimi starts gaining a second a lap and with 3 laps to go, he overtakes nico to p2.

on the podium and after, nico is upset even though he's now second in the championship -- overtaking vettel by 1 point.

but you can see the gap to lewis, and it doesn't matter how good a race you have or what issues your car has when you're compared to thee teammate of all time.

toto tried empathy simulator

thanks lewis, very helpful

nico's upset on podium because it is hugely frustrating to earn that p2 and lose it in the final 3 laps. he writes in his column:

the next race in barcelona, nico would go to win the race from pole, his first victory in the 2015 season 🏆

anyways I think of that moment where nico's miserable on the podium and lewis nudges his shoulder like chin up, bud a lot

rubens barrichello went to a brazilian podcast recently and revealed two funny tid bits about classic f1:

- he used to bring a fart noise machine and put it under othe driver's chairs during drivers' briefings. sebastian vettel thought it was so hilarious he used to sit beside rubens during the meetings to observe the target confused by the noises, and often said target would be none other than michael schumacher. the machine had 6 different type of fart noises and he used most of them on michael until schumi discovered it and just looked at him with a disappointed "what a child" look.

- rubens also said that gerhard berger used to tell him about the prank war he had with ayrton senna. one day he bought 20 frogs for $100 and put them all in ayrton senna's hotel room.

“what about the plans we had made” under the stars in greece as we joked about how cool it would be if we ended up being teammates together and fighting for the world championship … the very sport that brought them together tore them apart.

He is sassy af, can’t dance to save his life, loves chillies and embarrassing pizza toppings. He delivers every debrief with detail and gusto. He’s the only man Lewis Hamilton argues with. He’s the engineer of Jenson’s heart. He’s Andrew Shovlin!
