can we just also briefly talk about Carlos saying that he wants to use his new role within the GPDA to somehow find a way to curb the cost of participating in junior categories? how anyone hates this man is beyond me
GRID GAMES: Alex vs Carlos – Jenga Battle
FIA get ready to apologise to carlos many many times cause his father heard about it
James Vowels to Carlos post race 📻
"Yeah, well done, Carlos. So, again, as Gaëtan said, that's on us. You should have been ahead of where you were, but it's a hard track to overtake, and you showed really good pace today. That's all I was really looking for. I can't wait for the next two. We're going to be good."
He's getting more comfortable with the car with every race. The next 2 races are going to help so much for him to settle in. Vamos!!
This is the cutest thing ever, Pierluigi explains how he and Carlos met for the first time, saying that they started working in 2021 when due to Covid Rupert could not leave England. Carlos asked Ferrari for help and since they had a contract with Med-Ex (the agency Pierluigi works for) they found Pierluigi who basically followed with Carlos Rupert’s program.
Very adorable is the last part though, which I think deserves its own translation.
“Just the other day we were just talking about our first session together. When he [Carlos] entered I couldn’t even greet him and I just realised [how great it was] when we started training together”
HE WAS A NERVOUS BABY
IN FRONT OF CARLITOS
THE CARLITOS HE NOW KISSES ON THE CHEEK BEFORE EVERY RACE
idc what fans of other drivers have to say. the fact that lando is so beloved amongst the drivers, past and present, and team personnel whether it’s his own or from rival teams (not you red bull fuck you) says everything. you don’t earn that kind of respect and admiration by accident. he’s real, loyal, funny as hell, and actually gives a damn. the people who really know him, who work with him day in and day out, or have raced alongside him absolutely adore him.
and then there’s how he is with fans. he’s not just polite. he’s present. kind. warm. especially with kids. you can tell who someone really is by how they treat those who are smaller, more vulnerable, with nothing to offer them, and lando always shows up with patience, warmth, and a smile that’s just for them.
wish you have a great season, carlos

I am absolutely impressed by the way Alex and Carlos were so openly honest about the things they both are bringing to the table.
Carlos admitting that he did not expect for Alex to be this sensitive on some aspects of the car, so much so that during meeting he told engineers to ask Aex directly about some things because he knew he would feel them better and have a better feedback.
Alex admitting that Carlos being here put him in a completely different mentality, whereas last year he would fly over some problems to not overload the team, this time he feels like he can talk about any little problem he finds.
That’s a good fucking team for you, honestly. Regardless of the results, that’s exactly how a team should work, strengthening each other.
