lance is going to HATE that omg - madness, get that money though fernando

gasly to alpine?!?! lando to alpine?!? piastri to alpine?!? they’re a good team with a lot of potential in that other seat, who knows.

@Albrouze - that’s a lovely way to look at it! the shirt will come into its own next year, i know it

also, urgent message for @aidil please see below:

Hello, this is an auto reply. Aidil unfortunately is no longer with us on receipt of these photos. She died the way she would’ve wanted to leave this world - with a head full of French dick

also I am livid that my gaudy tshirt hasn’t arrived and your tacky flames one has! They’ve sent me a replacement and I need it for Singapore!

 

[StephenTJackson]

Does make me wonder how Alonso’s going to cope if Aston don’t their shit together next year. We’ve seen what it’s doing with Seb hardly making out of Q3 most of the time and to me Aston is such a step down from Alpine.

Well we saw he didn't mince his words at McLaren, I think he could be pretty brutal.

 

[LaBlonde]

What if Dries does so well, that Albon loses his seat to him since they have to keep Latifi for the money....

if that happens then we’re storming williams hq. get in ladies, we ride at dawn

also @aac_124 - i see that icon and i zoomed in on it

Ooofff

I was given a DR hoodie last year as a present. I think it's from McLaren and not his own merch. I only wear it outside because the branding is very subtle & I'm in the US and doubt most people know what F1 is. It's basically just an overpriced pink hoodie, even though I've no clue how much it cost

 

[xoxogossip_girl]

Are you implying it is a set up?

it’s not fair huh?

The seatbelt thing reminds me of Charles Barcelona 2020, spun and stalled, though that was it then realised he had unclipped it so pitted and retired from the race. Gave me one of my fave Charles pics ever (though it's a sad one too)

Confirmed that Yuki loosened the seatbelt in the FIA document

I wonder what Ferrari will screw up this time... Just as well they don't refuel at pitstops these days, can you imagine?? Fuel all over the gaff

The worst of it is that Carlos and Charles just seem resigned to it happening. No angry radio messages from them, just a big sigh

 

[aidil]

I’m with you on that someone really needs to do a family tree of the Gasly family because I didn’t even know he has that many brothers until his post

Imagine how chaotic Christmas is in the Gasly household!

ooooo! i like mick (i think everyone does) but i would like to see someone else get that alpine seat - he’s done okay at haas but not well enough to get what constitutes as a promotion imo. i don’t know if that’s an unpopular opinion though

Nope I agree with you. I do like Mick but I would feel the promotion is far too soon

 

[Multi-21]

Wow where did that pole come from?!?!

 

[Futtrit]

carlos bat signal?

 

[LaBlonde]

it’s fine guys i just got off the phone with monza (yes it’s available to speak to on the phone) and they said charles won’t get a penalty because it will offend me personally.

i need to see the grid already, this is stressful

 

[xoxogossip_girl]

The way I didn’t read the notification properly and said ”yeah that makes sense for him to stay at Alpine another year or two” and then released it was Aston Martin. It’s becoming the team where former world champs go to retire apparently.

 

[LaBlonde]

I just want someone different on the podium just ONCE this year

this is my number one wish for the rest of the season!

we know who’s won both the drivers and constructors championships, please can we have a little surprise before it’s over? someone’s first win or someone’s first podium will do

edit: well, number two wish, my number one is that charles holds onto second place

 

[Routron]

Sainz always looks like he's about to cry in every interview I see of him!

 

[Red hair dont care]

What if he continues racing in a series like Extreme E maybe? Some good rallying and totally fits his cause. I’m not ready to lose Seb as a racing driver yet

Neither am I but he does so deflated bt F1 whether he sees Extreme E as another option who knows. Usually family first but maybe a year off he could come back.

 

[namenotavailable]

Apparently there was rumours that Piastri had something in his reserve driver contract that he'd have a seat in F1 within 2 years, meaning someone at Alpine needed to go. Hope Alonso knows what he's getting himself in for!

 

[aidil]

I want rolling updates from you all when you go next year! A bit too skint to get any myself this year so roll on 2024!
