Sometimes, motorsports gets it.
SCCA Solo Nats competitor is protested on Day 1 in a ladies class for being trans. Protest committee rules aggrieved party should get fucked into the sun. Day 2 the rest of class shows support for the protested party on way to her first run. She would go on to win.

Yeah women being on a motorsport broadcast will stop *checks notes* a 103 year old event that didn't even get stopped by WW1 or WW2 (only put on pause.)
I had a great time at Pikes Peak 😊 Oh and so did the sponsors, drivers, and network who thanked us after the broadcast!

I would have said “it’s great to be back with some familiar faces and I’m looking to deliver good results on the track with them” but he’s the one with media training so his answer must be good too
This is *incredibly* specific. Corey did this happen to a friend of yours? Was that friend you?

Can’t stop thinking how Pirelli made their tires TOO good.
They had to go a step softer for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and Miami Grand Prix to give us more pit action.
Quoted saying “Graining can put in an appearance,” as if graining was invited but hasn’t accepted the invite 😭

About to open an F1 History school because what do you mean there are comments saying Alonso had no talent and wasn’t a generational talent for his “generation?”
Also why are we trying to have nuanced convos on apps with character limits - that’s the majority of F1 topics 😭 #formula1

Personal podium for the Bahrain Grand Prix:
Oscar Piastri
George Russell
Oliver Bearman
In the gravel:
FIA race system errors - At least the FIA apologized?
Red Bull - no easy fix. Best hope is upcoming tracks + tires work with the race package 😭

“What is an anime?”
“A special type of animation.”

This is what I've been saying - there is more variability than just "tire wear." As Jon points out - tire wear was actually just one of several factors that contributed to Russell in Spa and now Leclerc in China. Great read! #formula1

Did tyre wear really cause Leclerc's Chinese GP disqualification?
Ferrari quickly blamed tyre wear for Charles Leclerc's Chinese Grand Prix disqualification. But was it that simple?

Ferrari isn’t happy - and not just because both of its cars were disqualified from the Chinese GP, but because of #F1’s use of radio messages while it was swapping Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc.

Watching the race this morning - some of y’all at mad for Ollie for THAT?
You’re soft. And the reason the drivers don’t show an ounce of personality because of the dumb whinging over a harmless radio message. #formula1
