hey so, why did i do this?
i'm in a prosenna rabbit hole, if you can't tell
prosenna: francis forever by mitski
another level of soulmatism
i read three posts consecutively about 'max saying if he made ii into f1, Charles would too' and 'ayrton saying alain should not retire, he cant stop and they both are leagues above others' and 'Nico saying in my heart he is still my best friend'
I'm going to bawl. two of the three are tragedies. The very first one didnt let the bitterness of the world get to them when there was every reason to.

Ayrton Senna one morning after a mental breakdown (he was an Aries, he had a lot of them)
I got guns in my head and they won't go Spirits in my head and they won't go
He never took his eyes off Alain
So... we can talk about how nobody here writes for classic F1 drivers, come on I can't be the only one who wants fanfics with Ayrton Senna, Damon Hill or even Alain Prost, hell i even take a Nelson Piquet fanfic
Some Niki Lauda gifs. The true Formula 1 legend. Stars’ Speed The Computer. 🙏🏻
The last gif is him and Alain Prost.
Rest easy old friend. Thank you for the memories, always and forever.
Without you, our childhoods, would have been less fun.
Alas, you're now with the rest of those who formed us. Theres a racing shoe stuck in my throat as I write this so bear with me.
Give Beco, Julio, and Hervé, Alain, and James, our love.
Ciao Niki. Thank you,
Forever. 🏎🏎🏎🏁🏁🏁
The track is all yours now, dear friend, and guess what?
This one doesn't go in circles! 🙏🏻😭
Niki Lauda
Formula 1 Racing Legend
Born Andreas Nikolaus Lauda
in Vienna on February 22, 1949
three-time F1 World Champion
The only driver in history to have driven and won for both Ferrari and McLaren.
May 20th, 2019, when death couldn't meet him on the tracks, so, it decided to meet Niki Lauda on his sleep and take him because to quote Niki:
“You appreciate that it is very easy to die and you have to arrange your life to cope with that reality...
A race isn’t won until it’s over.
Really, you should always discuss the defeats because you can learn much more from failure than from success.
Giving up is something a Lauda doesn't do.”
~ Niki Lauda
F1 sleepover protest lore:
South African Grand Prix - 1982
Involved: all drivers
In 1982 all drivers locked themselves into one shared hotel room and refused to drive at the South African GP as a protest against clauses on their super licence contracts.
Not even their teams managed to get them to leave the room, only one photographer was allowed inside.
There are photos of Alain Prost sharing a mattress with Gilles Villeneuve, and Patrick Tambay saying “If those two have kids after this tonight I might as well retire now.”
Elio de Angelis played the piano.
Niki Lauda was sharing a bed with Patrese
Someone next to Rosberg was snoring until Villeneuve put a blanket over him.
They were just having fun.
In the end Balestre and Exclestone (the people in power) agreed to all the changes they wanted and it was enough for the drivers to head back to the track
Carlos Sainz will have driven for the three oldest and most iconic Formula 1 teams: Scuderia Ferrari, McLaren and Williams.
He joins Alain Prost and Nigel Mansell as the third driver in history to race for all three teams!
