“deserves to win” is such a silly concept. you know who deserves to win? MY team. why? because I love them. next question

article links: Vogue Italia, Giles Richard via the guardian, Giles Richard via the guardian again, also these two bbc articles [x], [x], The Ferrari dream by @ferrarisufferer165 (beautiful writing), and some words I stole from Reddit comments, the rest are from the official f1 website:)

also tagging the lovely @verstpn i hope this has even 1% of the magic your web weaves have ^_^
thank you for the list of charles analysis media!! if you’d be willing to summarize the ideas from the race podcast episode that would be amazing 🥹
they first mentioned his one lap pace obviously and how he is in fact arguably the fastest (and maybe of all time) they explain that he has something special that most of the other drivers don't have which is basically: god given talent lol
he has so much innate talent that he can't explain or put it into words but it allows him to feel the car to the most insensible degree and that's how he can push it brilliantly to the limit that physically to us seems impossible but he is also very confident in his ability and that's why he's often called a "high commitment driver"
they bring up his famous throttle overlap party trick and how it does not and should not make sense and in fact theoretically if you have some throttle applied while you're braking that logically should make you slower but not him he somehow just goes faster because once again: god given talent. he can feel the car and he can do these things that are incomprehensible to the average f1 engineer and it is why despite ferrari trying very hard to teach this to their other drivers they will and have never grasped it because it is so difficult to achieve and it's basically making your life more complicated and anyone else would put it straight into the wall as a result
another thing they also highlight is his engine braking which i think this is more of a ferrari thing because carlos used to do it as well but charles especially excels at it and he does it frequently enough to warrant a few raised eyebrows because once again why would you do this you're literally hampering yourself you're destabilizing your rear just to induce crazy amounts of rotation to the front but anyway not charles leclerc
most interestingly when they compare him to other drivers and especially max they mention something i have always thought of as well - which is that max is talented but he has a lot of technical knowledge that he applies to his driving. whereas charles operates mostly on natural ability and yes he of course also has a lot of technical knowledge as well which is not to be underestimated but the point here is charles has a lot and a lot and a lot of natural ability he was born with that most of these other drivers have to work extra hard to nail
and it is why he is so freakishly adaptable to whatever car you put him in whether they are season to season ones or literally new generation cars - he will be the first to adapt. just like we saw in 2022 and they mention by example how he adjusted his braking style in testing as opposed to carlos who had to take some time to adapt
yeah that's pretty much it i tried my best to summarize it with some added waffle so hope you enjoy
I can somewhat understand the crash out about Oscar being near passing Charles' career wins. I really do. He is a talented driver. This stat only shows how incapable Ferrari is to give Charles a competitive car so that he can have more than 8 career wins to show for his talent.
But also, this is not a spec series with equal machinery. The talent has never been the *only* deciding factor. There are other talented drivers who are/were also talented and capable of fighting for championships if given the right car. The team matters. The car matters. (ask alonso)
Charles has had the opportunity to ditch Ferrari on multiple occasions. He wants to be the Ferrari champion, which is admirable. He knows the shortcomings of the organisation. Still, he chose to extend his contract every single time rather than moving on to a team that can give him the competitive car.
I think it is about time we collectively accept that he doesn't want to be a champion if not with Ferrari.
Don't save Charles, he doesn't wanna be saved.
I am on the verge of crashout of the century every time I remember Oscar is way too close to equaling Charles' wins

This tomfoolery is a series! [1] [2] [3] [x]
there’s nothing like an oblivious race winner. “i was wheel spinning in sixth gear”. oscar babe, max tried to kill several people and a sauber finished fifth, your gear shifts are so irrelevant they may as well be a williams
*asked about the russell vs verstappen fight*
oscar: *gestures for lando to go ahead*
lando: oscar told me he had some interesting opinions on it so i'm gonna pass straight over to him
oscar: ugh being teammates with you is so fun 😂 *proceeds to give his answer*
lando: that's not what he said earlier
i just wanted to be a regular fan i didn’t choose this
This vid would never not make chuckle the twink on twink violence “vettel what a dark day for him the darkest of his career put in the wall on him home track 😬 “I’m crying Nico was one step away from saying seb kys
« For those who do not believe in the paranormal, we strongly recommend that they look at the central sector of Leclerc's last attempt in Q3. Monte-Carlo seems to whisper secrets that only Charles knows how to decipher and interpret. The rest of us can only watch this telepathic conversation helpless, speechless in front of a language that does not belong to us. » (hammertime magazine)
ollie watching carlos say he’d only have dinner with lando and charles
i aspire to be like george russell. imagine going:„yeah so this guy was annoying me real bad so i kinda crashed out and committed several crimes bad enough to warrant a drive through penalty and now i‘ll make the guy i committed the crimes against buy me dinner about it“
and the other guy actually doing it? incredible. what an absolute diva.
HELLOOO??? this is gorgeous!!!!!
monaco gp winner lando norris, everybody!
humble shout out to @sodacidity and their absolute masterpiece of fanart that inspired me to try this pencil kinda style

personally, I think f1 teams shouldn’t bring the cars to monaco. they should make all the drivers line up on sunday and run two full laps of the monaco circuit. tripping, pushing, shoving, and other general villainy is allowed. may the fastest driver win. also a 2 second time advantage will be given to any driver who takes their shirt off and lets those thangs BOUNCE
