I think the most frustrating part of watching carlos having a less than ideal time in the williams is that he’s a big part of why the car is so far from what it was last season, the team, at least in theory, are willing to listen to him and do what’s in his best interest, he’s adapted quite well to the car considering his move from having driven the ferrari for four years, and yet it’s more often than not things beyond his control that are keeping him from realising all the positives.

So based on both radios, I’m guessing Gaetan heard JU say “maintain a gap [ ] to car in front” (said car in front being Carlos) and reported it as being told not to stay behind (which is a reasonable assumption but not the exact same thing). But because of the slipstream, Alex has a passing opportunity that would achieve the same result (gap in front), so JU allowed it, but Gaetan didn’t have time to react.

Remember when Charles said he will miss “Carlos the person”? It’s soo devastating because four years is a really long time to be so close to someone and then realize you won’t be able to be as close anymore. It’s the most sincere answer he could have given because it’s not just about the racing or the fun or the banter it’s about having a teammate you can get along with so well that you will genuinely miss HIM and that is such a unique and rare teammate relationship and I’m glad they could experience it. And now that they’re no longer teammates we can still see how they’re always happy to see each other and how sometimes it still looks like they’re teammates when they’re walking together in the paddock or talking during the drivers’ parade because they still genuinely like spending time together and I think that’s beautiful.
FIA get ready to apologise to carlos many many times cause his father heard about it
Carlos puts his Williams at P2 while Lando takes P1. Oh how much I love Carlando dominance.
The thing that I appreciate the most of Carlos’ answer about Isack, is how he visibly flinches and frowns when he hears the word ‘embarrassing’.
Sometimes actions speak louder than words.
