ALEX ALBON YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL TO ME
I have said this before (and will probably say it again and again) but I am so happy that Carlos is in Williams. He is an extremely talented driver and intelligent, he knows his stuff. Williams loves and appreciates him. He has a great teammate in Alex Albon who also is an extremely talented driver and very intelligent who also knows his stuff and they seem to have so much fun together
Do you really want to see Williams teammate games after what they did to Carlos today? I can’t think of anything more unappealing.
this is honestly so mild compared to what's happened to carlos in years and teams previously. he's not the only guy to have gotten the wrong strategy today and he's also not the only guy to have gotten deeply unlucky with the safety cars. like the team shouldn't have panicked about russell's tire deg or whatever, for sure, but the safety cars really killed him.
it's fine. i know each high-scoring points opportunity lost is so painful but i don't believe it's malicious or intentional, just incompetence. which is frustrating, but also part of the team's growth process. strategy for a lower midfield team is not the same for an upper midfield team (williams is here!!) is not the same for a frontrunner. we saw mclaren having these growing pains the last couple of seasons and it was frustrating for everyone then, too.
also none of it is alex's fault and i like it when teammates are real in formula 1
peace and love on planet earth <3

JEREZ 2025 | Maybe what you see in the dictionary in front of "pride" and "brotherly love", I think.
Yesterday I was pretty upset/disappointed yes, but my opinions come from the information I am given. We were told that Alex got information about staying behind Carlos but it turned out that he didn’t get that that information at all. So I’m not upset/ disappointed in Alex but the team for fucking up the communication.
They really need to do better, and I think they will. Sure they will probably fail more times but fighting like this is new for them.
Also even though Carlos had floor damage he kept up with the Ferraris. Imagine what he can do when it all goes right. Plus he started the race on used mediums while others started on new tyres.
Also the contact between Carlos and Alex on the first lap wasn’t Alex’s fault. With the speed he had and Carlos having to move out of the way for when Lando rejoined the track, he did what he could to try and get out of the way. Things like that are going to happen.
I will get upset and disappointed more times I am sure of that (at Carlos, Alex and Williams) but I will still be rooting for them.
Williams are treating Carlos a hell of a lot better than Ferrari did. The same goes for Alex. (Treating Carlos better than his last teammate) They do seem to have great chemistry together.
