True.
English media hate team orders when Ferrari applied it, even during a title fight.
Now, they want it even when there's no WDC fight.

People talk about Austria, but later that year in Hungary, Italy and Indy, Michael slowed down to Rubens win.

Front page of La Gazzetta openly trolling Ferrari now Italy has a new drivers' world champion.
Tagline under the photo says: "Kimi Antonelli is a Formula 1 world champion. Thanks to his talent, his car and not having raced for Ferrari"

Tomorrow, in all likelihood, an Italian (like me) will be crowned world champion for the first time in 73 years, and yet I haven't felt engaged with this season since it started…
Do you feel the same? If so, why do you think that is?
I think a big part is the "gimmicky" regulations, but also the lack of a championship fight (the fight for P2 will be on fire, though!)

🚨ITALIAN ANTHEM IS BACK IN FORMULA 1
So far this year, we've heard the Italian national anthem a total of 11 times (9 wins by Antonelli and 2 by Ferrari)
The last time it was heard that many times in a single year was in 2004, when Michael Schumacher was still with Ferrari

Forget your current favourite. Which driver made you fall in love with Formula 1 in the first place?

Eventually, he looked absolutely smashing as the king. @frentzen_hh put on a great Elvis show after the race - which is probably how team Jordan got to notice his abilities: not only racing, but also rock 'n roll. He only had to maintain his cap for obvious sponsor visibility.
Heinz-Harald Frentzen commemorating the 20-year anniversary of @ElvisPresley his passing in 1997 (look at his sideburns as an hommage).

When you start to produce bullshit stats to cocksuck the Tiktok generation who can't handle to watch a race for even 20 minutes.
Get the fuck out of here🙋♂️

2002 - Rubens Barrichello led a Ferrari one-two at the Italian Grand Prix, #OnThisDay 15 September, finishing ahead of teammate Michael Schumacher and the Jaguar of Eddie Irvine, the driver Barrichello had replaced at Ferrari.
Although Barrichello’s win was comfortable, he initially trailed the Williams of Ralf Schumacher and Juan Pablo Montoya after the first corner. Ralf led the early laps but controversially had to move aside for Montoya, who was deemed faster. Ralf’s race ended soon after with an engine failure. Montoya later lost positions to both Barrichello and Schumacher before retiring with chassis issues, leaving Ferrari to take a dominant victory, much to the delight of the Italian crowd.
