@aac_124 did you do it?

View attachment 2958915 q


I have to say that apart form initial chaos and Charles winning, this race was not super eventful one but is providing great content :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
(and we are yet to see evening celebrations of Charles and his first post race visit to maranello :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:. and Leo )
Sorry did I do what? I’m confused 😂

Ok, I will watch Lewis' video now, but if you don't hear from me please know that I might be just watching on a loop - I only saw this picture so far and it was enough to make me sigh already :D🥵

you are right, we don's see the jokey funny outside of the track side of Lewis very often now when his snapchat era or daily ig motivation posts are no more :ROFLMAO: he definitely curates more reserved image now, zen even, and seemed to be doing only "serious" stuff. his lil jokes with f1 journalists during f1 media duties are not enough :LOL: I am off to watch it now, I have high hopes :LOL:

good lord Lewis, I will need to rewatch it because I can't focus on what he is saying I am so mesmerised by his eyes, damn his eyes game is insane 🥵
It’s been another mental week at work but this filth of a video has made my day, thank you sir 🥵
 
To quote Maxie: LOL

And a reminder that Sharl won Monaco - our boat:




to be honest, I am still not sure if that happened for real, this season so far:
- May itself: first Lando's win AND Sharl wins Monaco
- 8 races, RB did not win all of them
- Sharl 31 points behind Maxie in WDC standing
- Ferrari is 24 points behind RB
- And not to mention Lewis to Ferrari and Newey leaving RB


And this got me rolling

Hello all long time no chat, just checking in to let everyone know my coworker went to Monaco last weekend and took these pics of Esteban in an Alpine getting overtaken by a scooter

1717155145319.png

He's friends with someone who works in hospitality for the GP so he got a free ticket for Saturday. For Sunday he snuck into a €900 grandstand (the one between Tabac and the swimming pool, with a view onto the marina) and he got away with it! He said it was a bit crap because no-one was cheering or paying attention and a lot of people left early. The screen didn't work so during the race he was texting me asking what the restart order was and why no-one was pitting. He was also at Monza 2019 so I've started calling him Charles' lucky charm lmao

Also, turns out another one of my coworkers (rich kid, dad is in aerospace VC) is a yachtie and in 2022 he was one of the tender pilots ferrying people to and from the RB Energy Station 👀 he's off sick now but when he comes back I will have questions about Checo's Ukrainian friends!

so it seems that the swift action alpine took after the crash in Monaco was to fire their operation manager and pretty sure the announcement that Briatore is back will follow asap 😩 such a shame the lifetime ban was revoked on the justice system

same thoughts - if they had any friendship for what every reason that’s over and it’s a not so nice working environment for Lewis probably. Learn your lesson Toto - and do better with Georgie!
 
yep - some down to £55/44 but not great seats and still feels a bit more than I want to spend

I am in the middle of the first RedFlags podcast episode with him, there is already the second one and they are 1h long each, so far it's pretty entertaining - I know it's not the same as his show but may work as a substitute :ROFLMAO:

Ah that sucks! I paid £55 a ticket and got front row but it’s at one of the smaller venues. £71.50 is madness…
I listened to the audiobook on Spotify

Jojooooooo you became the official correpondent then - have fun and let us know if you liked it :ROFLMAO:
---
tell me this is a joke
---
@aidil get in here, there is a message to be analysed and Pierre is officially the saint of Alpine :LOL:

check what Estie wrote (I can just feel he has been working on it for few days and there must have been many versions)

He really must be scared about his seat or the backlash is bigger than we see from the outside

I really don't think he is scared of anything. The hate he get since Sunday must have been awful and i only saw a very little part of it. While it was his mistake and i will not defend him on it, it completely blow out of proportions. Medias made their clicks with this stupid "he will lose his seat" rumour out of a french sentence that they can't even translate properly. Hell Sky even published a video about all the crash he had with his teammates but they forget to tell he wasn't responsible in half of them...
At the end of the day he is still a human and probably hurt by everything that happened (and maybe worried for his next seat). People are always saying how mental health is important and how their favourite driver suffer from all the hate they get online but are the first to throw awful things at the drivers they don't like 🙄

yeah, maybe this is the effect of their "situation" being one of 3 events of the race (apart from Sharl winning and Checo/Haases thing) and his reputation at the same time. If it was any other driver OR if it happened in any other place, in more eventful race, it would be looked over easier, like one of "Esteban's moves", one of many events etc. Of course it was totally stupid move from him, but it is not like it was the worst attack on a teammate or other driver ever (of course all situations like this on the track can have dangerous consequences). It is like the reactions for this one are the cumulative reactions for all situations he had ever and his rep of not loving his teammates does not help. His statement is kind of paying a dramatic image, that is why I was wondering how much of it is a cynical damage control and how much of it is a reaction for people crossing the line with attacking him personally and things we might not be seeing. :rolleyes:

if not for you telling us here that in French it sounded less dramatic that the translation shows, I would not know this as what is seen online is that "the decisions will be immediate" line etc. and the prospective of seeing team/teammates drama is very tempting 😅*

*especially when Nico is not commentating

Checo realising you need to post the dog as the way to people's hearts :LOL: look how fluffy!

Stay tuned for the next chapter of Minttus travels, by the way 😂 There is a slight chance of the pilots of my airline going on strike. Got the notification 15 minutes ago that they are still negotiating pay for the pilots, on overtime. If it's not solved until tomorrow night, I'm going to book my tickets with another airline 😂

fingers crossed! I would just wait and see if they are really going to strike during my travel dates and then the airline would need to rebook me 😇

also why is there no race this weekend? We are under a extrem flood warning thanks to 48 hours of rain, so far we are at 100l in 24 hours

guess who plans to replace my automatic garage opener today? My dad 👀😂

There's another dog on his story, is he starting up a shelter? Like it wasn't enough with making C pregnant everytime he was home?

Personally, I think they should just keep horsing around.

Is Checco flying back and forth now for the normal race weeks or have they a base in Europe? She might have finally said enough is enough and the settled on two dogs? 😳
