Carlos’ instagram story — Imola GP, media day
Go Carlos Go!
The thing that I appreciate the most of Carlos’ answer about Isack, is how he visibly flinches and frowns when he hears the word ‘embarrassing’.
Sometimes actions speak louder than words.
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
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
Back in Bahrain, Ollie was asked by Channel 4 who he’s friendly with in the paddock and of course the answer was Carlos
“I cycle quite a bit with Carlos. We push each other forward on the bikes, which is really fun.”
- He’s pretty good in the bike, is he not?
“Yeah, he’s very good.”
- And competitive.
Exactly! Which is annoying because I should be a little better since I’m younger. But no, I got some time to catch up. We have a lot of fun cycling together.
