[Sky Sports] Max Verstappen says sport 'less stressful' without Christian Horner

In an interview with the Press Association, Verstappen said: "To be honest, I like to see people get on. It is not nice when you constantly have tension between people.

"Of course, from the outside, people like it, but honestly between the teams, it is better when you have just a friendly relationship.

"It is not as spicy, but I obviously quite like how things are going at the moment with everyone's behaviour, let's put it like that.

"It is less stressful. We are all leading a stressful life and when you can take a bit of stress out at times, it is good."

On Horner's potential return, Verstappen said: "He has shown he did a good job. Of course, people spread a lot of rumours and I don't know how much of that is true.

"I don't want to sound rude, but it is also not my problem or concern. He wants to come back and if there is a good opportunity I am sure he will but I don't know where that is going to be."

Back to the roots ✨️🌱

Dear brothers and sisters we're gathered once more for a new Carmen shenanigans.

This time she's remind us, thanks to a paid article, which HQ are in Miami, same city where she introduced Barriers in US, what's Barriers primal focused: skincare.

Which is being getting praised and placed alongside big brands. And omg guys the crew is so shocked realizing this (that whole group photo is weird), while she has to afraid to agree with that Miami magazine, shy—sugar.

Is not the only magazine where this has being featured. There's also CD Traveller who's writer for that article is mutual of Patricio and all the magazines owned by Condé Nast, which has a contract with F1 (I'm guessing for promoting more wags than drivers)

And look, I get that every owner needs to promote their products but when most of the reviews came from this kind of paid articles, you should have a critical eyes. Specially if we're talking about skincare, something that can benefits or damage people skin.

Watch out for the future Barriers merch (hat + phonecase)

I think Carmen would have done better in the sportswear sector ngl.

Barbie girl in a Barbie world

She really took seriously her title of boss babe since she's 18 apparently.

Now we have: consultant investment, worker for Scalpers and Barista in London, plus her interest in skincare now.

I'm wondering if she gets hold of all her achievements in her personalized notebooks or just go with the flow.

The devil works hard but Mercedes PR worsks harder

At this point is just fair to ask, what's not PR in George’s life? Honestly.

I know this could be just a coincidence and Merc saving faces but for the way he's projecting himself lately, I'll put my tinfoil hat.

Tbh is probably both. What you guys think? Give me your best answer (doesn't matter if are conspiracy too 😌)

The second coming of Senna or the second coming of Jesus?

So... today (in South America time) is a great day because Kimi Antonelli is now officially the 20 year old boy leading the championship and for that, GQ has gift him a very profesional, insightful and none at all fanfic article about him becoming the youngest champion leader and no jinx it (Marco Antonelli's approval words), the possible youngest WDC.

A fresh-out-teenager boy who, besides be perceived by everyone as a sweet, innocent and cheerful 16 year old boy (thanks Toto), he has face the most hard challenge that only legends and veterans can (Canadian sprint race) conquered the heart, the loyalty and the brain of all Mercedes fans and the entirety of Italia (🤌🏻)

And how's that possible? Well, apparently thanks to the power of Catholicism, Senna's possession of the pettite boy body (Eww this part guys, what the fuck?) And that Italians are now seeing him as the reincarnation of Jesus. With Hamilton and Charles at his side. What an amazing change for the country that bleed Ferrari Red, now they have their new Messiah.

Guys... I really want to say I made this up but damn, you have to read this. I'm not kidding when I say I've read more professional realistic stuff in fics

Pr'ing the fairytale (again and hard)

So, as the name said it, George is taking seriously the Pr is Pr'ing from our beloved friend Magui Corceiro 🤭 this time for an article in The Sun

Edit: If this is not something for this sub, pelase feel free to removed. I just found it interesting.

It was a really interesting article with some stuff like Carmen hinting what kind of ring she wanted or they wanted to keep the engagement in secret but they're spotted. They wanted to keep it to them because they're one of the most private ones. Ahahahha TF? 🤣 and silly me though Kelly was delusional with the private stuff.

And some things that makes me wondering. For example the fact that he contacted people who are directly related to mines and he didn't want to go to big brands, so... the ring wasn't from The Graff? (Please excuse me if I got it wrong the name) idk is a little bit confusing.

Well... this is the article and some ss

Opinions? Thoughts? Conspiracy theories? ☕️👀

The Emperor and Empress of PR

This is gonna be long, so bare with me. You already know me.

I know for a lot of people this is like the engagement of the century and for some people is a way of George to hold thigh onto his "lucky on something" stuff. Because if they're gonna be perceived as the perfect couple for the good as an united front, they should be an united front for everything else.

Whatever.

I've seen people calling them more genuine and classy (not exactly this word) than Alex and Charles with their engagement and I really can't see it. Because they're exactly the same attention seekers.

I've my own theories, based in nothing (just things I see and coincidences) like all those hints that boss babe left since Monaco:

The whole bouquet situation in her bestie wedding and the "lucky in something" (this is the less proof, is just me).

The joint interview with the 5 year timeline.

The picture in that farm with the "my life in a couple of years".

The bunch of pictures hitting of wedding stuff in Barcelona (the cake, the flowers, the ring, the church if you want to add them.

The over excitement for the summer vacations. She was constantly reminding everyone in her channel about that.

If I'm not wrong she said that something special was coming too (but don't remember if it was something related to Barriers)

And the turtles. All those photos of turtles just to share the turtle branded in the ring? Yeah. Not buying it.

Ohh... special mention to those times "Carmen" lurked talking about how they will get engaged and they already treated each other as fiancé and fiancée. And that account that told that they will get engaged in the summer brake in St. Barth.

But what's most funny in all of this is the Barriers products placement between the photo dumps. Like... come on 😭 in both Carmen and George. Again special mention to the "I'm just a normal girl" painting with a coffee in her stomach. Or the "we're normal people" with the game where they're beat by a 9 year old girl. Or the "we're still focused on the game" with them training.

And while there's been just 2 photo dumps the intention is there and it's clear. Specially for those who firmly believe that this was spontaneous with that whole boat picture, the picture of them at the beginning (I don't think turtles are photographers) and the stylized white dress. And ofc the rest of the photos that someone else took. Which, is nothing bad, but... I hope you get the point.

This is the new level of their PR game, just exactly as Alex and Charles did back them. And in my opinion is gonna get worse with the involvement of Mercedes media this weekend. And probably in Madrid and Singapore.

So all of this was just to tell that they're indeed performative, attention seekers and pr gamers just much as Alex and Charles.

Toto needs a diary

“In the past, there was the opinion in F1 that in order to be winning, you need to be an asshole, you need to be ruthless and opportunistic.”

In the past as in Max Verstappen? Like... he's shaming Max here too? Hamilton? What is he talking?
