Lando Being Carlos’ Passenger Princess More Likely Than You Think😇

Extremely fascinating that the Williams admin is in no way insecure about Carlos and Charles yapping zero cm apart, rather they seem hopelessly endeared, while the Ferrari admin is across the room fully cropping Carlos out of content of Charles like a salty ex

Facebook reminded me of this and I thought I should share.

And I would like to add, it isn’t the first time and it wasn’t his first time in his Ferrari days.

To quote my goat Reyes ;

And this is when I recommend everyone to watch Road to 55.

Carlos maximise your chance in every race, race your races whatever the sweet talks maybe! Race and Learn! You know now what you know. You can do it you know that and you have shown that many times ¡Vamos Carlos! Keep collecting the points

WELL GOODMORNING TO ME

CARLOS SAINZ - Williams interviewed

-> F1 Masterlist <-

"now at least being outside of the car i could help the strategy team do the right call with Alex"

Great call Carlos! Amazing job! I can tell he has a great future as a Team Principal, I wouldn’t be surprised if in the future he takes Vasseur or Vowles’ place.

Alex had a smooth race, well deserved P5 and great points! Williams is about to enjoy a fine season! Let’s see what happens next!

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.

This team is so perfect together... almost all of them are nerdy 😂😂

carlos using williams’ pre race podcast to speak so earnestly about the impermanence and instability that comes with life while racing and travelling for racing and how he eventually has come to think of home as a person and then put roots down after struggling to do so for so long and wishing the same to happen for alex soon oh my god. my baby boy. i love you so much you’re a beautiful little freak
