Yk, It Might Be An Unpopular Opinion, But Carlos Looks Better In Blue Than He Ever Did In Red

Carlos, Roberto and Lando in Monaco | 19 May 2025

Carlos still getting points even when the team gave him slow pit stops and the safety cars helped everyone else around him and holding off a car on 20-lap fresher tyres at the end…

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.

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.

okay. not that anyone asked but here's My Take on the williams torment nexus

honestly a communication breakdown on the pit wall

similar to vegas last year actually, with charles told carlos wouldn't overtake and carlos not actually told that. alex's engineer was like "go ahead" when alex said he could overtake, but carlos was told the opposite thing

the real things that fucked up carlos's race were a) the regular ass first lap incident in turn 3 and the resultant damage; b) building a 3sec gap so the team could double stack for inters (didn't happen) and then coming out behind hulk as a result; c) the timing of the vsc; d) team using his new mediums for the sprint

his pace was good despite the damage (very positive)

good to get the growing pains out now while they're fighting for p5-p9 than when they're fighting for p1

alex mostly blameless and also extremely brave and strong in p5!!!

the synchronized pass on merc + ferrari at the same time was absolutely gorgeous i'm so happy

honestly when the main reason you end up behind the ferraris (and he might've had the pace to get kimi) is because of vsc timing and some damage, that's still honestly a good race

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"
