on the limit

anyways!! i'm trying to get back into inviting myself in everychirlie's inboxes <3 qn(s) this time is (are): when did you realise that charles was just your driver, and when did you start watching f1? i'd also love to know what is your favourite part abt charles' driving style !! as always, no pressure ask, feel free to answer partly <3

HIIIIIII omg i’ve been trying for a very long time to come up with an adequate answer to this question i can’t believe i now get to answer this POST CHWIN!!!!!!!!!!!

(wimbledon was amazing what an incredible experience it was it is unparalleled in so many ways. loved the experience and i hopefully cannot wait to return)

so to your questions:

so i’ve been watching f1 on and off with my dad and my brothers for a long time, and i was semi-present for 2022 but charles wasn’t my driver yet and the f1 bug hadn’t bit me. i am like retrospectively devastated about it but at the time it didn’t hit me in the same way i recall. if im really thinking about it, 2024 was when this sport stopped being someone else’s that i was just kind of visiting and it became mine. like now im THE f1 fan in my family. since 2024 i’ve watched pretty much every race throughout the season. to the question of charles; i certainly never liked any driver more than him. i liked him and max and oscar when he joined - those were always my three favorite drivers but i think i always did have a soft spot for charles. i remember monaco 24 extremely extremely vividly, and since then it’s just become more and more charles. charles’s 2024 season, there was just something about it but he became my one and only f1 driver over the course of it.

i mean there’s so much. his kindness and class on and off track i want to mention even though it’s not a driving style thing. but for his driving style : he is aggressive and creative and brilliant. like i know these are just adjectives at this point but. i cannot explain how many quali laps of his pre 2025 i’ve watched on youtube. he finds the thinnest of margins in quali and just shaves and shaves and shaves until he’s perfect with DEEPLY imperfect cars. so many people must have articulated his insane adaptability and THIS WEEKEND WE LITERALLY SAW HOW BRILLIANT AND ADAPTABLE HE IS. finally - my defense GOD. my favorite part of 2025 was watching this man dogwalk dudes in faster cars with the way he’s able to place himself on the racing line to limit their chances to overtake. it is sexy as HELL and such smart high iq driving. he’s just the complete package to me as a driver in every way: aggressive, clean, genius!! like i could go on ill stop but i could.

you get it anon 💕
