17.0% "With the festival win under my belt, Team Webber was ready to take on the world.

I know Mark just a little. I am here purely for any Multi 21 mentions (the prologue doesn't count) or any seb shade, but imagining 20-year old mark excited about his wins and his dream to reach f1 is so cute."

17.0% "First we were going back to Australia to find lots of money, and that was our first mistake: there wasn’t any to be found.

LOL, damn"

43.0% "He randomly mentioned Nürburgring and I got war flashbacks from me driving there in GT. I hate that track, wow."

January 1, 2024 –

45.0% ""The deal first offered in 2003 was confirmed on 28 July 2004, and I called it ‘the most significant milestone in my career to date’. As a result I endured the lowest time in my entire F1 career."

Idk why I laughed.
He was signed by redbull after two years in Williams so can he really complain?"

January 2, 2024 –

57.0% ""The promotion of Sebastian to the senior Red Bull team was to prove a pivotal point in the success of Marko’s Red Bull young driver program."

He is so judgy. Honestly, he is throwing shade left and right!
And also him hating on Sebastian Vettel so openly as of now is HILARIOUS. Mind you, Mark only has 9 wins throughout his decade-long career, whereas Seb had 4 world championships throughout his. Just saying."

January 2, 2024 –

59.0% ""Now I had another teammate to deal with in the form of Sebastian Vettel being tipped not only as the new Michael Schumacher but also as the driver who would finish my career! So said a certain Marko before we had even raced together."

Sebastian Vettel, they could never make me hate you.
He is just THAT girl."

January 2, 2024 –

63.0% "Sebastian was furious that his strategy hadn’t worked and it was to become a trend. Whenever I was on a different strategy, especially when it had worked to my advantage, he would ask incredulously, ‘How is this possible? How is Mark ahead?’ or even, ‘How is Mark quicker?’ It seemed the thought of me simply being quicker was not one he could entertain!"

They are so intense wtf."

January 2, 2024 –

72.0% "To him it perhaps seemed the lesser of two evils if his down-to-earth Australian was the one upset, not the blue-eyed boy from the Red Bull Junior Program in the other car, and he played that game all the way through, right to the end.

Did Mark just babygirlify Seb? 'Blue-eyed boy'??? If I didn't know and you told me this was an enemies to lovers romance book and not an autobiography, I would believe you."

January 3, 2024 –

84.0% "The ensuing conversation was the most disappointing moment of our entire relationship. He said he was pissed off by what I had said on the podium in Malaysia, that while he respected me as a driver he had no respect for me as a person. That was a heavy line for me. I simply said, ‘Then our relationship is in trouble. That's it.'

screaming, crying, throwing up!!!"
