hi, I'm VEE! β 22 | ISFJ | SHE/HER a spanish, leo, teaching student [4/4] who loves reading, writing and fangirling way too much about the things i like the most in this world.
01. GET TO KNOW ME 02. ABOUT MY WORKS β MY FORMULA 1 MASTERLIST
Β© VETTELSVEE (2024). please, do not steal, copy or translate my works. thanks for reading!
I'm working a lot on CITY OF STARS (my Formula 1 AU Universe) lately since I don't have time to write (and my brain is drained too) and I just checked the Beta Reader Form and saw that the drivers you most want to read about are (as of today) Max, Daniel, Seb, Alex and Lewis!
This project have me THAT hyped that I started yapping about it to my mum (who is very much impressed and interested on the stories to my surprise lmao)
Remember that you can get to know more about City of Stars here, and also become part of the Beta Reader Program (in where you'll be able to read the stories earlier than everyone, and also get to know exclusive "news" before anyone else) βΊοΈ
I finish middle term exams this Tuesday (a very hard day for me in my personal life) so I hope to be more active (even I have my C2 certification exam and final uni exams by the end of May)
I hope you all are ok, take care of yourselves and your mental health specially. Sending you lots of hugs! <3
im not trying to be rude or anything, but my stats showed lando was faster than oscar and also managing his tires a lot better, oscar may have had some pace, but we can see his biggest flaw is impatience, i think none of the mclarens stood a chance against oscar today and that swapping the drivers would just cause unnecessary drama
not rude, your comment was pretty respectful so i appreciate that, thank you!
i was just saying because my commentators (professionals that actually have official data, not saying yours are wrong btw) were saying that oscar had, in fact, more pace than lando when oscar first asked about what if they swapped. also, my commentators said that a swap could be possible to try overtake max so mclaren could take more points AND that if oscar didnβt have the chance to do so, they could just swap again to have their positions back, which i totally agree with since thereβs a reason why lando qualified p2 and oscar, p3, so on that side totally deserved for lando!
my point and what i was trying to say is that if oscar really had that better pace than lando and the team didnβt let them swap, we all know that if lando was in oscarβs place that swapping would have been made
i would like to note a few things here about anons take:
Landos tires were better because he wasn't as close to max. Tire wear wasn't too much of an issue, heat was. Oscar was on the edge a lot because he had more pace and was in landos Dr's for a good part of the race at different times
second, at the very end lando "had more pace" in clean air than Oscar did after running in dirty, staying close and still in drs, while lando stayed a second and a half behind max while pushing. And in the pace disparity, lando was only lapping quicker by a very small margin. Overtaking was difficult for just about everyone, hence all the comments about it being boring. Oscar stayed close and kept catching but not close enough to overtake
I think lastly, Oscar and lando are remarkably well matched in a good car. I would disagree with the comment on Oscar being impatient, in fact I'd say that's one of his growing strengths. He's learned to be kinder to us tires, he's learned to sit until a good moment to overtake (I think baku is a good example of this, regardless of mini drs π). Also, I find that people either say Oscar isn't hungry enough, or when he asks on radio politely saying that he thinks he has the pace, that he's desperate and impatient. You have to be desperate but smart to be a max verstappen or a lewis hamilton, you HAVE to be hungry.
charles was like 8 seconds behind so there wouldn't have been that big of an issue there, and why not try? If Oscar can't do it, switch back. I don't think it'd be unnecessary drama to try and win the race. We think that maybe he didn't have the pace to catch max, but maybe he did. He could get close to lando, lando couldn't get close to max. Maybe if he was in landos position he'd do the same. but in the words of max verstappen, if my mom had balls she'd be my dad. McLaren doesn't seem to be great at managing these two, and yet they still do respect each other a lot. If they got closer after whatever the hell Hungary was, why not do something to just try? Lando didn't think he could catch max anyway from what he said after the race. So why not?
couldnβt have been explained any better: try to switch positions, if it doesnβt work just go back to the ones they had because it was actually possible and not risky (even thereβs always a risk)
itβs always when it comes to oscar when these things happen and, as said, they donβt know how to manage these two drivers and as i also said, this can be very bad for them and if mclaren doesnβt start being more focused and better on strategies and stuff even the tiniest mistakes they make can end up with them losing not only the chance of winning a constructor championship, but also the driverβs one
and also, as iβve been saying: being a fan of a driver doesnβt mean you have to defend every single action they make, even if itβs a wrong one. we need to be conscious and critical with their takes as theyβre far from perfect (trust me, iβm the one who judges my favourite drivers the most and the first one to criticise them when they do something crazy or wrong)
yeah, i totally agree with you and i see your point, tbh i was asleep for a part of the race so i didnt see the whole thing, and lowkey embarrassing but i wanted to type the mclarens didnt stand a chance against max not oscar smh ππ
itβs ok, donβt worry!
i understood your point and yeah, lando did better than oscar yesterday in qualy (even they both committed mistakes so thatβs why they definitely didnβt win the race today), i just wanted to say that things would have been quite different if lando was p3 and had more pace than oscar

i 1000% agree, and if they refuse to choose a #1 driver, they should at least stop with this whole "papaya rules" or having one or the other hold position if they can race and overtake (if that makes sense)
papaya rules have me tired honestly
iβm not an expert but I donβt think itβs that difficult: choose a #1 driver, and if you see you have opportunities to take more points just swap positions (if you canβt catch the rival then swap again as my commentators said)
honestly, if they keep taking decisions like these ones as i answered previously, this can cost them constructorβs and wdc
Os quejΓ‘is de que siempre hay Γ³rdenes de equipo y que nunca dejan a Oscar adelantar y luchar y para una vez que les dejan luchar os seguΓs quejando? Aclararos de una vez
no estamos hablando de que no dejen a oscar luchar (que tenΓa mΓ‘s ritmo que lando, por cierto, y ha sido una lucha mΓ‘s que justaβΊοΈ), solamente estamos hablando de que si hubiera sido lando el que hubiera estado en lugar de oscar, las cosas sΓ que hubieran sido diferentes
lee bien antes de comentar, gracias π«°π»
tbh mclaren just needs to start trusting both of their drivers bc oscar could've def caught up with max given the chance
they need to decide whoβs going to be their #1 and #2 drivers and stop playing dumb with that βtwo #1 driversβ and choose wisely because honestly, both of them have mistakes but i know out of them two who has the mentality and attitude to be their #1 driver
as someone that is a lando girlie, mclaren needs to stop the whole βwe operate on a two first driverβ shit. Clearly it isnβt working when they just decided to take the points instead of making an executive decision and let Oscar at least TRY to get p1
they decided to choose lando as a #1 driver by the ending of the season last year
we have no idea what mentality theyβre having this year in terms of #1 and #2 drivers, but we all know from previous years and duos of drivers that definitely you need a #1 driver and a #2 driver
from my perspective? they treat lando as their #1 driver but act like both of them are important of the team because they know that oscar can do great things on track and donβt want to risk themselves
iβm really angry at the strategy today because i know that if it was lando in oscarβs position, they would have swapped (and then they say they donβt favour one driverβ¦)
EXACTLY THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING!!!
if it was oscar getting passed it would've been a very different story i think :)
theyβre not thinking as a team but as favouring a driver and before you come to me YES, I KNOW THATβS WHAT MOST TEAMS DO
but if you really have the chance to overtake max and get p1, more points for your team, whatβs the problem then? just wondering
i mean, i honestly think liam for one isnt that good of a driver and needs more support to devlop more, oscar seemed to have better pace than lando and shouldve been swaped, and lando blaming max for the grass thing was a tad childish but thats all my opinion so pls dont hate me π
actually i agree with everything π
about the liam thing: i have been saying since checo was renewed back in summer that they should have taken yuki instead for that red bull seat
the thing i thought was the mclaren strategy: i just know for sure that, if lando was p3 and oscar p2, and lando had more pace than oscar to try overtake max and win, they would have swapped positions (and it really pisses me off honestly, theyβre not thinking as a team but as an individual driver)
and sorry if i bother someone, but lando has been a crybaby today and i donβt really think thatβs the attitude someone whoβs aspiring to get a wdc should have
