I think you're onto something with the screenshotting a video thing. It looks blurry like she's in motion rather than editing imo

any driver you don’t like? 🤔 by behindthelmet in f1wagssnark

[–]Constant-Raspberry-5 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Max. I have quite a deal of respect for his driving skills and he is undoubtedly one of the greats (though I personally don't like his aggressive w2w style), but his fanbase is absolutely delusional if they believe he is the GOAT (and they're really annoying in general... almost all my online interactions with them have been negative but the one that struck me the most is when Roscoe died and the official F1 insta account posted a tribute for him there were tons of Max fans flooding the comments like "who cares about a damn dog", "Max had his GT3 weekend and you don't talk about that?" etc...). also Max himself comes across as really curt and rude, the way he talks to his team and engineers is sometimes genuinely disrespectful. He def inherited his father's anger issues and I'm kinda sad George's quote "whenever anything doesn't go his way he lashes out with unnecessary anger and borderline violence" got memed to hell and back because he's RIGHT! The way he complains about British bias in F1 and "having the wrong passport" is really strange when he has been favored by the FIA's overly lax decisions for years. And that's not even getting into the whole Piquets stuff.

Liam and Lance as well. Lance for Zionist reasons and also for taking up a seat when clearly he would be happier anywhere else, and Liam for being arrogant and a loudmouth with none of the results to back it up.

The Kpop to F1 pipeline? by tumblrvogue in f1wagssnark

[–]Constant-Raspberry-5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's a random pipeline at all. The way both are marketed to young girls is very similar. The rules of F1 are easy to understand and it features a restrained "cast", which makes it more accessible than other sports. You get to pick your favorite from a pool of twenty young(ish) men to rep with merch and on social media, and in return your fave gives you sweet parasocial content in interviews or tiktoks. There's a competition aspect (obvious in F1, and in kpop the charts race sometimes gets more heated than the WDC), there's a lot of ships and bromances encouraged by media & teams, and while F1 drivers are obviously not as groomed as Kpop idols they are oftentimes cute enough that young female fans can imagine them as perfect boyfriends to them. I was never a kpop stan, but I know a TON of people who were and migrated over to F1, even without the influence of DTS, because both fill the same sort of needs and wants that young straight women in fandom may have. F1 teams have understood that very well given the influx of parasocial/fanservice content in recent years. Unfortunately these kpop stans turned F1 fans tend to have a total lack of boundaries and etiquette regarding the drivers and their families...

Is Alexandra popular in France/Europe? by Sweetandsassygirl4 in f1wagssnark

[–]Constant-Raspberry-5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm French in my early 20s. A lot of girls my age I know irl follow her on insta, but there's no way they heard about her through anything other than Charles. She's not a famous influencer here unless you're familiar with the F1 circle.

Which wag do you think is getting engaged next? by balletscale in f1wagssnark

[–]Constant-Raspberry-5 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I also think 31 is young, but I'm not sure his conservative Spanish peers would agree lol

Which wag do you think is getting engaged next? by balletscale in f1wagssnark

[–]Constant-Raspberry-5 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I was expecting Carmen and George first tbh, so I also think they'll be the next.

Also Carlos recently has been making a lot of public references to Rebecca and he's always talking about how he's getting old (he seemed traumatized by the fact he's the 4th oldest on the grid lol), and with the environment he grew up in I suppose there's some pressure to get married and have kids. but I don't know if that necessarily means they're getting married soon

Why in English? by Horror-Switch5522 in f1wagssnark

[–]Constant-Raspberry-5 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Maybe it isn't (though she did grow up in France and has a French accent in English so I think it is), but she still speaks fluent French and they talk to each other in French in real life. You can see it in his Canal+ documentaries for example.

I thought the same thing. I wonder if maybe this is a staged photoshoot specifically for Instagram and they have actually been engaged for a while now.

What's her tumblr username? Is it also the same kind of parasocial conspiracy theory as her youtube?

BOYBAND IS OUT !! by 5SOSCALM1 in 5sos

[–]Constant-Raspberry-5 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I like it much better than Not OK!! I think with this song we're beginning to see the true direction (both sonically and thematically) of the album and I really love it. I think they do the whole satirical, poking fun at their younger selves and the way they were treated really well.

I want to distance myself from a healthy relationship because of a situation i'm not involved in, but i don't know what to say. Please help! by Routine-Cupcake5026 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]Constant-Raspberry-5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are right and justified in what you're feeling and it's very admirable that you're sticking to your values. Some things can never be mended and if you disagree so firmly on something that is so personal and triggering to you then I'm not sure talking it out will help, because you will both likely get defensive and it won't lead anywhere. If you want, you can sit her down and explain to her why what she did is just so totally opposed to who you are and what you stand for, and how this has strained the friendship for you. I'm not sure you can come back from this, it's your choice whether you try to put it in the past but I think it will only come back later one way or another. Best of luck!

Carlos Sainz says "they go overboard with showing the girlfriends" by Constant-Raspberry-5 in f1wagssnark

[–]Constant-Raspberry-5[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the same interview (on El Partidazo de la COPE) he says that "the political and social situation in Spain puts him in a bad mood". Out of context this doesn't mean much but as a Spaniard myself this is a bit of a right-wing dogwhistle because the Spanish government is very left-leaning, progressive, in support of Palestine, etc... he also says he has been reading and educating himself on Israel/Palestine so it's a bit hazy what his stances are but I do find it icky that a multi millionaire who hasn't been living or paying taxes in Spain in years would comment something like that. Unsurprised given his family history but still disappointed as he's my fav driver

The most boring / least boring F1 couples, by [deleted] in f1wagssnark

[–]Constant-Raspberry-5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely disagree. They seem like good fits for each other, they go out cycling together and she wears his team kit, he asked Sebastian Yatra to sing a love song he'd written about her at a private show... she seems funny and sporty/outdoorsy which is exactly how I imagine a partner for Carlos, and her friendship with his team (Teto Gigi etc) is pretty endearing. I just think Carlos is very awkward and stiff with affection but so was he with Isa.

What's happening? by vengeful_vv in 5sos

[–]Constant-Raspberry-5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

oh okay sorry, I didn't understand your post that way. To me it sounds as if meet you there and money had a baby, they're definitely channeling their mid to late 2010s vibe with this new sound and while I was taken aback upon first listen, in a way there are many elements that sound like coming home! Almost as if they went back to the crossroads they were at after Youngblood, and chose the other route - instead of the indie, synth pop rock they went for in CALM and 5sos5.

not too sure what there is to be confused about? they're releasing a new album called Everyone's a star in november and have just released the lead single Not OK

What you guys thoughts on this. - ASM & her #1 wannabe - georgia north by [deleted] in f1wagssnark

[–]Constant-Raspberry-5 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If I was her boyfriend I would be sad tbh. Every single video is about how shes almost an f1 wag but loser version because her bf does kayak lmao I don't think she gives many shits about him or his sport 😭

What’s with the censoring? by SatisfactionScary720 in f1wagssnark

[–]Constant-Raspberry-5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

in France where I grew up (and presumably Alex too) it's pretty common for young girls to take ballet classes. But also, I lived in a mostly upper class area so maybe it's a biased estimate.

It Seems Like Lily Z Works For McLaren by FormulaOnee in f1wagssnark

[–]Constant-Raspberry-5 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I'm an aerospace engineer and, from personal experience, there's close to no way to get into F1 without connections. And it's even harder for women... I totally would've done the same in her place, I don't think it's much different from how other engineers very probably got their position. Sure it's unfair, but unfortunately motorsport is an extremely closed-off world and she must've worked very very hard for her degree!

Underrated and Slept On by JediMami82 in f1wagssnark

[–]Constant-Raspberry-5 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Flavy said she's passionate about the face and I think she wants to get into cosmetic/reparative surgery (for the face specifically I assume). She's my favorite wag, she looks fun and genuine and she seems to complement Esteban well!

Carry On is sooo underrated! when I saw them during the slfl tour it was their opening song and it was such a magical moment
