What if you were max verstappen and what if this really hot older man met you at a karting thing and he was a fancy f1 driver who also wished you good luck for your super licence and he ends up being your teammate and you didnt know teammates were supposed to be this way because no one else is this way and what if he left you and the team and everyone thought he left because of you but it turns out he's still your friend and he would chase the feeling of having you as a teammate chasing chasing chasing the same feeling he had with you but it is never the same as it was with you and you never chased the feeling because there could only ever be him and then what if you won and you kept winning and he kept having his career ripped to pieces but he always smiled for you and supported you and said "if it's not me then im glad it's him"

and then!!! and then he comes back!!! he could be your teammate again but he joins the junior team but he's still in the family and you get to joke around in the same spot and then!!! he could be back in the car next to you!!!! he writes you a tribute and it makes you have to walk away from prying eyes because he wrote it with such love but then your boss is an incompetent asshole and he ends up walking away forever and you thought you lost him but truly it was never about the sport you were in you were meant to be friends and teammates forever and ever because he still watches your races and comes to a different continent to just play padel with you and it's just you and him forever and you just saw him a few days ago but he's part of a congratulations message and he calls you spectacular like he did so many years ago and you're just a man and you love him and also that man is daniel ricciardo

Not to alarm anyone but I there is a very specific pattern of deletion going on with Daniel's purging of his instagram. He's deleted approximately 400 posts, but if we look at just the last batch of deletions from today, we can glean the following:

He has beef with Enchante because he removed the link from his bio:

He has beef with George:

He has beef with the woman formerly known as Mama, now referred to by her government name "Grace Ricciardo":

Beef with his own helmets:

Beef with former threesome colleague Jenson Button:

Beef with wetsuits (but we should have seen that coming because they never got along):

But most of all, Daniel seems to have beef with Daniel:

Obsessed with Daniel leaning into hugs

Did Daniel go from 9.5m to 9.6m followers since posting the Frank Hermann video??

they just asked helmut "emperor palpatine" marko on sky germany how big the fear is that max might leave redbull given the current developments and he said "it's huge" .... max. max you have the opportunity to do something so funny....

Listen, idc what happens with this red bull seat, all I know is arvid lindblad better get the call up before max leaves so that I can write some angst-ridden, psychological-rich fic. like-

there's just something so narratively delicious about the idea of max suddenly having daniel's younger, 'mirror image' right in front of him. looking exactly like daniel did in 2016.

only this time, the roles are reversed and max is the one who is older and more experienced. and maybe he starts to Realize a lot of things, old wounds that suddenly re-open. because yes, he wants to mentor and support arvid but at the same time, there's this nagging sense of bitterness and resentment because he's Not Daniel. not his daniel. and seeing the media constantly draw comparisons between arvid and daniel sets max's teeth on edge.

and he knows daniel wouldn't mind. it's been two years and it's clear now that he does not want to come back. that's ok, max can see that he's happy. he can see him on instagram. sometimes. and he always looks happy, with a big smile. and that's good. it's been two years, so why does this ache in his chest keep getting worse? why does he feel sick every time he sees arvid's number 3 across the nose of the car? why does he flinch every time arvid turns his head and for a moment he thinks oh, it's dan—

Huh who could've predicted that the best candidate for the job was the one Red Bull fired in SIngapore ........ 😤😤😤| via
