Remember when Charles said he will miss “Carlos the person”? It’s soo devastating because four years is a really long time to be so close to someone and then realize you won’t be able to be as close anymore. It’s the most sincere answer he could have given because it’s not just about the racing or the fun or the banter it’s about having a teammate you can get along with so well that you will genuinely miss HIM and that is such a unique and rare teammate relationship and I’m glad they could experience it. And now that they’re no longer teammates we can still see how they’re always happy to see each other and how sometimes it still looks like they’re teammates when they’re walking together in the paddock or talking during the drivers’ parade because they still genuinely like spending time together and I think that’s beautiful.

listening to that podcast made everything feel far too real. tomorrow’s thursday and then his final f1 race week really begins 😭 the way he speaks about racing and f1 though is so interesting, like the way he views his competitiveness and the time he spent with ferrari. HOW CHARLES IS LIKE A YOUNGER VERSION OF HIMSELF. oh and the whole part where he talked about his wife don’t even get me started on that, they are proof that true love exists. AND his relationship with lewis and their rivalry 😭. i am so mentally ill right now

Me right now*:
