hey everyone, i was at silverstone thurs-sun and let me tell you alllllll about it bc i need to be an f1 nerd with people who actually get me
THURSDAY
so picture this, it's thursday, it's media day and me and my bf have pit walk tickets !!!!!!
our pitwalk was at 6pm tho so most of the drivers and teams had packed up or were packing up for the evening. HOWEVER, i did get a lil cheeky wave and smile from seb after he was done fixing something on his wheel with the team.
THEN, i turn around and esteban walks past me. we make eye contact. my mouth drops to the fuckin floor. he turns away and then looks back at me and BECKONS ME TO FUCKING FOLLOW HIM down the pits bc he was due to do an interview on the track im-
my mind was working in slow mo so i only managed to snap this pic but ugh still starstruck tbh
my bf also snapped these cute pics of me on the track too tehe
FRIDAY
free practice day !!!!!
we had general admission tickets so we weren't allowed in the grandstands for the race on sunday but we were allowed in them in friday so we lapped that shit up like a dog in heat.
we also went to the museum that day — super cool btw, if anyone hasn't been, you deffo need to pay a visit.
we also switched positions for fp2 and fucking jenson button and martin brundle just casually strolled by us. like ik this is starting to sound a lie with all these fucking icons but i stg this all happened lmaooo
here's a cute lil pic of jenson lolll
and he's a cute pic of me and lando <3
i also got to meet lissie on friday !! i've scribbled myself out of this pic bc i look about 6 billion stone but she is the sweetest human being i have ever met and i'm so incredibly proud of her for this weekend 🥺
SATURDAY
quali in the rain 😍
it literally rained ONLY when the sessions were in action like in the breaks between, it stopped raining.... we live in a simulation i stg
here's a piccy of verstappen passing us at stowe
we also met quadrant!!!
ngl max was rlly moody lmaoo it was probs bc we were one of the last in the line but he cracked no smile at us besides in the pic and was just generally quite rude but i wanna defend him and say he was just tired :/ i mean, i would be after hosting a stand and then having to go through like a 2-hour queue of taking pics but idk
SUNDAY
race day ahhhhhhh
we sat at stowe again like for quali on saturday and let me tell you what a fantabbydosey idea that was!
i also was conveniently wearing my ferrari jacket so imma just say this now and i'll only say it once, i am carlos' good luck charm. 100% facts.
here's my round head smiling :) (ik i've been scribbling myself out in every pic but i kinda like this one so enjoy x)
as we were leaving to go back to the campsite, we also bumped into fuckin willne tho and my GOD that man is soooo lush to talk to!!! i wanna say it's bc he's a geordie and i'm from 45 mins away from newcastle but he genuinely is just such a nice lad awww love him x
anyways that was my weekend at silverstone!! lmk if you watched the race or were at the race, even! miss you all and queenie and lando but some bonus chapters are coming, i promise :)
lots of love,
rae x
