Carlos’ instagram story — Imola GP, media day
Go Carlos Go!
and you know WHAT THE HELL YEAH IM TOTALLY EXPECTING LANDO TO GO TO THE CHARITY FOOTBALL GAME ON WEDNESDAY
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
If this is a dream, please don't wake me up
So glad to hear from Marta herself that she's fine, what a scary crash it was
So based on both radios, I’m guessing Gaetan heard JU say “maintain a gap [ ] to car in front” (said car in front being Carlos) and reported it as being told not to stay behind (which is a reasonable assumption but not the exact same thing). But because of the slipstream, Alex has a passing opportunity that would achieve the same result (gap in front), so JU allowed it, but Gaetan didn’t have time to react.
Alex avenged Carlos Sainz, he simply put a Williams in front of TWO Ferraris... Carbon is the greatest duo of this season, take note
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
