Full Fledged Danny Tribute Because He Deserves One And If VCARB Isnt Gonna Do It, Tumblr Will.

Full fledged Danny tribute because he deserves one and if VCARB isn’t gonna do it, Tumblr will.

So I got into F1 as many newer fans do, through DTS. Specifically, I think I fell in love with F1 due to none other than Daniel Joseph Ricciardo. It seems insane to think I’d just turned it on so I could find the appeal that someone close to me does and that day led all the way up to now.

Danny, if you couldn’t tell through my posts, was (oh god that feels horrid to write) and will always be one of my favorites. I don’t think it would be an unfair assessment to say that my adoration for him was the reason I first got hooked on to F1. Of course now, there’s many other reasons, including the fact that I simply enjoy the sport, but Danny deserves the credit for being not only my first favorite driver but also for making me interested and giving me a reason to finish DTS.

All in all, though, I think it’s more important to immortalize his legacy and impact. How many fans, who, just like me, love F1 because he introduced them? How many fans saw him in the DTS and fell in love with the sport and him? How many people has Danny single handedly given copious amounts of love and hope to?

I don’t think Daniel actually realizes how many people love him and how many are up in arms about RBR and VCARB’s blatant mistreatment of him, but I hope that there’s someone telling him about this. He may never see the amount of support he’s gotten from fans, non-fans, and even other fandoms because he isn’t very active on his socials (and probably doesn’t know about Tumblr), but I hope he realizes that no one stands with RBR or VCARB about this.

Thank you so much for introducing this sport to me, as well as many others, and providing us with some of the best memories, love. I hope you enjoyed the butterflies as much as we did.

Enchanté, 3 will always be one of my favorites.🫶

hello, this is SM Entertainment.

NCT's Jaehyun applied to the Army Military Band and received a notification of acceptance from the Military Manpower Administration today. as such, he is scheduled to enlist as an active-duty soldier on November 4 to fulfill his military duty.

on the day of his entry into the training camp, there will be no official event to prevent safety accidents due to the potential crowding of soldiers and families at the site.

we kindly ask for your continued support and love for Jaehyun until the day he completes his military service and returns in good health.

the passing of the baton...

ultimately what I want to remember is the impact Daniel had on F1. I don't want to count the wins (though 8 is already a lot), I want to count the fans. how many people got into the sport because of him? how many people were fans of Daniel first, fans of F1 second? how many people started with him as their favourite, how many people still have him as their favourite? how many people have his "enjoy the butterflies" quote as a lockscreen, as a tattoo? the impact he's had on the sport, in the last five years especially, cannot be brushed off or ignored. and no matter how much time passes, people who wish to get into F1 by binge-watching DTS will always start with his face. in that way, he has made a lasting mark onto the sport that will never be erased
