Fellow F1 Tattlers, it’s my final race update today. I can’t believe my Grand Prix experience is over 🥲I saw a number of wags today, but most were totally hiding for the duration of the day (Kelly, Charlotte, Isa). Hanna was there with the kids and Norbert who I passed several times in the paddock and ended up having a conversation with (in my broken German 
). He was living his best life.
Main driver observations from my 3 days in the paddock:
- Zhou, Lance, Yuki, Mick were the least approached drivers for photos etc. Ferrari/McLaren boys were always swarmed. I approached Mick (and again tried my German on him). He was really sweet but definitely seems super sad 🥲
- the memes about Carlos seeming out of it are coming from something he seems very zoned out, looks generally annoyed with life but is also definitely handsome
- Charles is an absolute beautiful ray of sunshine and the man is perfection
- You have 0% chance engaging with the Mercedes’ team. Lewis has his headphones in and only interacted with kids. George has a sprightly jog EVERYWHERE. I think it’s his mechanism to get out of speaking to anyone. Toto is on a mission and will stop for no one.
- Christian, Gunther, Zak and Otmar approachable.
- Bottas was nowhere to be seen and the only one I didn’t see at all.
- Seb seemed very happy and energetic all weekend. The man is always smiling. He was also randomly jogging up and down the paddock yesterday afternoon in the searing heat
- Max I genuinely bumped into when I crossed the paddock, I realised I’d crossed someone’s path so I turned to apologise and saw it was him lol
- Latifi and Albon were the only drivers I saw walking hand in hand with their girlfriends
- McLaren team genuinely the nicest on the grid. They were all wearing Danny Ric hats and genuinely seem sad about him leaving
- Spotted lots of Nyck de Vries and Oscar who was happy to engage
- bonus pic below with Seb/Lando/Jenson and George trying on Seb’s hair band

Day 2 report from
my only bad moment today was seeing Mick and he looked like he was almost about to cry 🥲he didn’t look very happy (this was as he left the garage after quali). He is also sooo pretty. Going into the McLaren garage tomorrow so wish me luck for a sugar daddy Zak photo.
Long time lurker here! Finally grew a pair of balls to say hi

It doesn't help that they all sort of look alike
