I can't believe Carlos turned out to be even more scared of snakes than Charles LMAO
He literally went through the five stages of grief
"No I promise, there's things in life you’re just happy not to ever do" "Myyy God I don't like that" "I'm so happy to meet her but there's absolutely NO NEED!!!!!!" "I'll go to bed tonight as happy if I have a snake on my neck or not, it doesn't change my life." "What if for some reason this snake decides that I'm his victim?" "How much more dangerous is this thing compared to the other one?" "I knew you like taking risks but not this much"
came together (lmao) and left together🙂↕️
Alex taking the car to lead making him the first williams driver to lead a race in a DECADE.
Also him saying he's better than everyone else with his chest on radio is insaaanneee
carlos is dejected and understandably so. getting shunted by teammate in opening lap, and then being overtaken while helping the said teammate might feel like a stab in the back.
I have neither love nor hate for alex, but what I want to know is when is carlos going to start biting? because he gets bitten everytime.
carlossainz55 Cannes, it’s been a pleasure 💫
Ollie’s favorite really is Carlos. He was so distraught at the idea people or Carlos would think that “Ciao” radio was targeted to Carlos
“They played it at a strange time bc I didn’t say that to Carlos.”
“I said it to Lawson and the Alpine.. just wanted to clear that one up, it wasn’t against Carlos”
my heart 🤚🏼♥️
arm touch, handshake and intense eye contact,,, too much too handle
alex has lost all patience with strategy blunders now that he knows what it's like to have a good strategist at williams (carlos)
One of my favourite f1 podcast episodes to rival Alex Albon’s High Performance one.
Highlights include:
The Netflix Carlando episode where they’re made out to be enemies and how he and Lando laughed over it and are buddies. Later on he reveals that McLaren gave him a “ball protector” as a joke after Lando and Ricciardo kept giving him “besitos” on the balls?
How growing up with a World Champion father affected him. All the kids wanted to beat him while karting and he was trying to make friends and play football. His father had to tell him that in this sport you bite or get bitten and “right now you’re getting bitten”. Since then he learnt to push someone off track right back.
He describes himself as an introvert and also doesn’t like the taste of alcohol- he hates feeling perceived and doesn’t let himself go in public.
The pressure he felt as a kid and the pressure he’d feel having a kid and the motorsport expectations. Apparently his father would tell him he’d be loved either way and there’s millions of things in the world to do but that didn’t stop the feeling and he worries for his own hypothetical child.
A lot about his appendicitis! He was calculating in his head if it was possible to race in Jeddah (big strategy brain) and the doctors had to tell him he might die if it burst 😭. Also hating being a passenger in the ambulance.
How he copes with f1 being a “shitty sport” when you’re taken out of a race through no fault of his own. He goes on to talk about experiencing fatigue and heavy burn out at the end of last year and his leaving Ferrari wasn’t in his plan.
He praises the 1000s of people who work in order to give him his car to drive and comes across as very thankful.
He won’t share his ideas about the future of f1 in case they are stolen (his big brain once again).
He’s been an uncle for a week!
He talks about how you need a very very rich family or sponsor to make it to f1 or be a standout member of a driver academy for years- preferably both. He says there will be two new faces next year (I think there’s a likelihood of three) and talks about his experience of having his father’s name again.
If your Spanish isn’t great there’s a few translated clips on Twitter/X!
I do think we’ll get news of where Carlos is going around the Spanish GP so expect a lot of Carlos media coming up around his home race. He comes off so well in Spanish, it really makes you think how much gets mistranslated tonally in all the post race sound bites we get.
