Orange smoke, safety cars as cliffhangers, and a TV director who apparently thought this was a podcast. Here’s how the Zandvoort chaos looked in the only language that matters: sarcasm.

🏆 The Podium

🥇Oscar Piastri

Pulled off a Grand Chelem like it was a school assignment—pole, fastest lap, led every lap. We only remembered he existed during Safety Car restarts. Teacher’s pet vibes. And on the team radio at the end, he said he was so sorry for Lando’s DNF. Nice try, Oscar, but none of us are buying it 😏.

🥈Max Verstappen

Launched like a rocket, with the kind of move that would’ve catapulted anyone else straight into the grandstands waving flags. Creative tyre strategy, hard-fought overtakes—he made it clear to his home crowd he’d give it everything, even if he was basically driving a tricycle against a rocket. The Orange Army, from the king down, were absolutely over the moon.

🥉Isack Hadjar

A rookie bagging his very first podium. And remembering a certain Dr. Marko’s words back in Melbourne, I would’ve paid gold just to know his thoughts when Helmut’s face popped up under the podium. Revenge, after all, is a dish best served cold.

🎭 Special Mentions

Lando Norris

Max came back at him like Zandvoort sand in your underwear—inevitable and irritating. For once, he seemed to have exorcised the demon with clarity. But karma had the last laugh: smoke filled the cockpit and his race went up in flames. And as Twitter keeps reminding him, that “simply lovely, uh” from last year just came back to haunt him.

Ferrari

The final shots of Charles watching the race reminded us of what we all could’ve done today—tifosi and team alike—instead of going to Zandvoort: a nice Sunday barbecue. Much more productive. Much happier.

Oliver Bearman

Didn’t write history, but clawed his way up from the depths into the points. A proper mud-wrestler.

Safety Car

The real influencer of the weekend. Every restart felt like a season finale cliffhanger, and without her, we might not have noticed Oscar existed at all.

Zak Brown

Never seen a team principal win a Grand Prix and basically have both championships in his pocket already, while looking this mad and miserable. Cheer up, mate—you’re supposed to be the one selling the papaya dream.

Arrivederci a Monza. 🇮🇹🍝🍿

It's impressive how many great writers have strong placements in Virgo/Gemini, whether it's a stellium or the Sun itself in Virgo. This is the case with Agatha Christie, Paulo Coelho, R.R. Martin, and Stephen King. Many also have Saturn in Virgo, such as Tolkien. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, author of The Little Prince, had Virgo rising. H.P. Lovecraft, a Leo, had both Saturn and Mercury in Virgo.

Machado de Assis had a strong Mercury in his chart, the ruler of Virgo, and also had Mars in the 2nd house in Virgo. Oscar Wilde had Virgo rising and Saturn in Gemini in the 10th house.

Clarice Lispector, a Sagittarius, had both Saturn and Jupiter in Virgo. Dante Alighieri was a Gemini, as was the poet Fernando Pessoa.

Franz Kafka had the Moon, Mercury, Saturn, and Venus in Gemini.

Virginia Woolf had Gemini rising.

Carlos Drummond de Andrade, a Scorpio poet with Scorpio rising, had Mars—the main ruler of his chart—in Virgo, in addition to many planets in the 12th house.

Virgo is a meticulous and efficient sign, and I believe it holds great potential for writing.

Gemini, also ruled by Mercury, has a talent for the world of ideas, being great communicators capable of drawing spectacular lines of reasoning.

Even among people I know, I’ve seen individuals with strong Virgo placements or an activated 3rd house in their charts, and I notice their inclination toward writing and communication.

#theme: communication

thinking about the way information flows these days (which is kinda scary) and my mind drifted back to when the internet was dial-up… and even further: when my grandma would go out to buy the newspaper almost every day.

a lil #longpost to pretend this blog isn’t just soft vibes.

ps: in these times, beware of fake news. take a moment to fact-check before you believe.

I love you all, btw ✨
