Gigi's comment on Teto's latest post. I'm sorry, what? These two need to be stopped 😂

charles and carlos being attached at the hip every race weekend might actually heal me atp
First race of not following my favorite driver in Ferrari, and my god what a great feeling.
He might have DNFed but he still helped his new team with strategy calls, to help his teammate get some amazing points for the team (Alex what a drive, super proud!) and he looked quite happy in his interview after his race ended.
and the biggest thing of all is that he's appreciated and loved by his entire team.
I of course could he happier if he didn't DNF and had scored some points as well, but I am very happy.
Let's go Williams!
Miami GP '25 // P9 in Race
"I already knew on the first stint I was starting on a four-lap-used tyre, versus the others were on new tyres, and I knew this was gonna make me slower on the first stint, and vulnerable. On top of that, I picked up damage in Turn 3 with Alex at the start with slight contact... Still, tried to hold on for my life with obviously faster cars around me, and we were one of the first ones to stop. That gave a much shorter pit stop time to all the cars that stopped three laps later with the VSC... I tried to do everything to stay ahead of the Ferraris, but with a damaged car and...fresher tyres for them, it was very difficult. But, yeah, that's why I'm frustrated and, today, I feel like we should've scored bigger points." "Very happy and proud as a team to be fighting with the top four cars... Good news. We just need to keep going. There'll be tracks where we might have this opportunity again and I wanna be the first one to maximize it."
i’m in my carlando feels rn
cause like, these are two guys who were brought up with similar values, because their parents wanted them to learn the value of money and hard work and effort. these are two guys who got into f1 young, but carlos had a rookie teammate, and lando had carlos. lando had carlos, and carlos taught him the importance of team, and putting in the hours, and how to correctly read the telemetry, and how to improve, and how to grow up when the situation called for it, and how to get out of your head. and carlos had lando too, because lando taught carlos how to be immature again, and do stupid things sometimes, and to let go. they’re always distracted by each other, even if they’re doing something that has nothing to do with the other. they’re always accompanying each other on family trips, and their parents treat the other as their own. they’re always defending each other, always taking the other’s name first when talking about friends in the paddock. except, carlos refuses to call lando a friend because carlos wants to see whether they would be friends after f1 or not, cause that’s the real test, isn’t it? and they go on golf dates where i’m so sure carlos teases lando for being so bad at it. they’ve cooked together, and god, the lore behind it, can you imagine? they’ve celebrated each other’s wins, each other’s podiums. they’ve got their own personal boundaries for each other, things that no one else can do. they have their high pitched laugh that only dogs can hear, and they blush when they stare at each other too long, and they call each other cabron but affectionately, and they’re always going in for hugs, never simple handshakes. they’re carlos and lando, and there’s so much of carlos in lando, and so much of lando in carlos that it hurts my fucking heart. and like, lando still sticking to carlos’ side, even though it’s been years that they stopped being teammates. hell, in the start, lando could walk into the ferrari garage and no one would bat an eye. but, they never stopped being teammates, because no other driver is so in tune with someone else to pull off singapore 2023. carlos’ own team didn’t know what he was doing there, but lando norris did. lando, who repeatedly told his team before abu dhabi 2024 to be careful of carlos because he knows carlos and he knows he’s going to push. carlos taking lando’s racing line and getting pole in mexico. lando being there when carlos got his first victory post surgery, and got his last victory in ferrari. lando being there when carlos was on podium in monza. lando’s been with carlos in 3 out of 4 wins. did you know that? like, those were two boys who were imagining being p1 and p2, and they got it. they got it in singapore, and then mexico, and then abu dhabi. they’re not loud because they’re there for themselves, yk? they don’t hide their friendship, but they also don’t publicly go around waving it in people’s faces because it’s so personal to them. we’ve all seen the adoration on lando’s face every time he’s with carlos, but fuck, the adoration on carlos’ face when lando’s just being himself is so pure and so real. and like, carlos always leaving a little bit of space for lando on track, and lando always being so secure in his friendship with carlos.
these two found each other so randomly, but goddamn, am i happy they did.
carlossainz55 Acting serious 🤣
team torque launches straight into a dissection of the accessibility of podcasts over traditional interview in modern media due to the evolution of pop culture in case u guys were worried that Alex and Carlos were going to be normal
Your true father son relationship is
Ollie Bearman assuring that he absolutely did not say ‘Ciao’ to Carlos, he swears, the team radio were projected wrongly, he only said it to… uh, maybe Lawson and the Alpine, NOT to Carlos.
Ollie Bearman saying that he really gets along with Carlos, he likes Carlos, Carlos and him go cycling together! Even in Monaco!
Ollie Bearman that as soon as Carlos gives him the middle finger immediately answer with “ok sorry”
That’s the true one
carlos not only being acknowledged and praised for his contribution in race strategy by the team principal but also being thanked by his teammate for it ? oh we prayed for times like this
