"mama kupila traktora" ("mom bought a tractor") is a reference to lukashenka's gift to putin for his anniversary - a tractor

"trajna-nina, armageddon-nona" - nonsensical, nursery-rhyme-like fragment with the word "armageddon" in it (because for SOME PEOPLE, armageddon (= nuclear threats) is just like a child-play)

"mama ljubila morona" ("mom kissed a moron") - "mama" is actually Mother Russia. I don't think I need to explain who's the moron.

"mama, ja se idem igrat', mama, idem u rat ("mom, I'm going to play, mom, I'm going to war") - self-explanatory

"onaj mali psihopat, mali, podli psihopat" ("that little psychopath, that little, vile psychopath") - if you know who's the moron, it's also self-explanatory

their costume - mixing military-style uniforms with make-up and skirts - actually makes fun of russia's anti-lgbt+ policies :)

Some poor intern: I hate Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen. 😫

Meanwhile:

“He loves what he is doing. I could see clearly from years ago in go-karting that he was very quick — though we never raced against each other. Everything just came to him really naturally as a driver.”

“Good performances were not just one-offs or hit and miss; he was always up at the front. So it was clear he was always going to be here. Some people are quick but don’t know why or how to explain it.”- Max talking to the Daily Mail about Lando

Crying rn😭

Den letzten Weg musst du alleine geh’n

Williams with Nicholas Latifi. Haas with Mick Schumacher.

Both drivers with a reputation for their crashes. Both drivers leaving F1.

What do their teams do?

Williams: signs and gifts Latifi part of the car he earned his first points in. Latifi even jokes that they got this from a car that he crashed, to which the whole team laughed with him.

Haas: stops Mick from doing celebratory donuts at the end of the race, and doesn’t even thank or acknowledge him in the post-race radio for the work he’s done for them for the last two years. And don’t even tell me about that video of Gunther giving a speech thanking Mick. That shit was pure PR. They’ll do it for the video but what happens off camera is what matters more.

Take this post as you will, but it speaks volumes about the environments of those teams. Two of the lowest teams (and they’re both very well aware of that), yet one team still remembers that their drivers are human and can treat them with respect despite the downfalls, but another can’t even be bothered to show their drivers basic manners and courtesy.
