Fining a driver for being late to a National Anthem an eye watering amount (20x the maximum fine for breaching the pit lane speed limit) is already quite something, but when you take into account that:
Said driver was late due to a medical issue personally attested to by an official Med-Ex doctor;
Who found the medical issue serious enough to require prescription medication to treat symptoms; and
Said driver is the new director of the GPDA (an association that specifically exists to promote the safety of Grand Prix drivers) -
- we have reached a level of irony so comedic one would be forgiven for thinking this would happen in a fanfiction rather than reality.
Yet the FIA have once again surpassed all expectations.
I don't care if his son is a formula one driver, THIS MAN SHOULD BE INCHARGE OF FIA
Carlos’ jenga strategy still the same
saudiarabiangp F1 drivers are kicking off their SaudiArabianGP 2025 weekend at the perfect spot — a stunning Red Sea Resorts recharge. 🏝️ Countdown’s on for lights out in Jeddah! 🇸🇦 We can’t wait 🤩
I'm too easily pleased...damn it
2019 rookies be like: friendship ended with max, now carlos is our new friend
Regarding your recent post about Charles saying he would miss “Carlos the person”, I re-stumbled across another of the late 2024 interviews where he said “Carlos is an amazing person”. Not driver, not teammate, an amazing PERSON. I think we glossed over it a little at the time but that’s actually quite a strong thing to say about someone!! I love that they still clearly care for each other so much and are excited to see other, it’s lovely
Oh yeah this interview. Charles looked like he was finally starting to process the fact that their time together as teammates is ending and he was trying to cope by saying they would still be spending time together in the paddock and maybe going to races together.
He said Carlos is an amazing person because no matter what happens on track they still genuinely like and respect each other and it has always been like that and it never changed. I really feel like Charles was being sincere and that he meant everything he said.
Look at his face
"Maybe we'll let the emotions run high on Sunday when we'll have to say goodbye" 😭
And they did
came together (lmao) and left together🙂↕️
carbono golf date confirmed ⛳️🐊
so happy that carlos is getting to do all these cool things and have all these partnerships and ambassadorships rather than before when he was with that horse team
