Jenson Button: "Who's that old man?" (about Mark Webber) ↳ 2024 Monaco Grand Prix, First Practice

So much to unpack here;

Carlos called Max "Maximilian". Max calling carlos "carlitos"

Carlos sending max to the desert, Max sending him to beech with a lot of girls

Carlos teaching max how to flirt in spanish

Max wanting Carlos to sing "I'm sexy and I know it" (which I agree that man knows exactly how he looks and takes full advantage of it)

F1 drivers and their allergy to balance

"Formula 1 is such a serious sport!"

Is it?

God there's so many more I can put it's insane

On: different parenting approaches

so keke rosberg has a world championship, and a newborn son. he retires the sport a year after, the shadow of tragedy following him -- the fatal crash of his friend and f1 driver elio de angelis being the reason.

now keke has a blonde baby that looks like its mother and babbles in german. he bonds with his son in the language he knows best — no, not his mother tongue rusty with disuse — racing.

so he builds a track in their garden in ibiza and sticks his son in the two person kart beside him before he is old enough for the helmet to even fit properly.

keke takes nico to the last race of his career in DTM, in a smaller replica of his exact uniform. keke tells him to wave. the roar of the crowd terrifies nico. he can't. he wants to be a racing driver when he grows up.

and you know this part of the story. the boy follows in his father's footsteps. in the sport of nepotism, keke rosberg is the only world champion father who lives to see his son become a champion.

so nico rosberg has a world championship and a newborn daughter. he retires the sport a year after she is born. he knows the same fatality of the sport his father does, has experienced and lost firsthand.

now nico has a blonde baby that looks like its mother and babbles in german. nico wants to bond with her in every way he can. he wants to be hands on in every way.

he speaks 5 languages, went to an international school and both she and her sister are enrolled in the same one. he reads parenting books, has tea parties with them, and drops them to school.

the thought of his daughters following in his footsteps terrifies him, and he understands now why his mother could never stomach to watch a single race of his. this glorious unforgiving sport of his, and his father's, that doesn't care who it takes. and it seems unthinkable to put a child in a racecar, even though that was his childhood.

but if she really wanted, like he really wanted -- he would not deny it.

so he takes her to a indoor go kart track in monaco, in a helmet that's bigger than her. he's tucked right behind her, safe. they share so many languages in common, french growing up in monaco, german at home, english at school, some spanish from going to ibiza. and this -- although it's been a while since he's really spoken it, his father's language-- is one of them.

okay he was quite positive in his interview, ty for comforting me fernando

he's the funniest mf ever and only aston martin can match his energy

if daniel ricciardo dislikes women noise so much why did he crash his car to give us this? much to think about

Okay I know I'm reading too much into this and also just am objectively wrong but something something something about Seb's little murmur of Mark's name when he walks in the room just breaks my heart. Mark walks in and Seb has already been getting scolded via the radio and the Red Bull team member meant to stay by his side- and he knows he fucked up- he knows very well that he is in trouble. He may not agree with it, and to this day he maintains he would take the exact same actions during the multi 2-1 incident, but in that moment there's just a small outreach from Sebastian to Mark and he's immediately shut down. Mark is fuming and not willing to hear it and he knows Seb well enough to know that if they get into it at all, it won't be with an apology. Seb is young and possibly over-confident and above all else stubborn- but that small "Mark," sounds like just a plea from a kid asking for someone to reassure him, even if he doesn't deserve it in that moment.

Best thing i’ve ever seen.
