Hi, I'm new to Bluesky. I'm a motorsports photojournalist who primarily covers Formula 1, but I do yap about other racing series as well!

I'd appreciate if you'd give me a follow, I'm trying to build a healthy community on this platform to establish a foothold for motorsports here. Thanks!
Ok everybody, it's August 8th #f1

I'm genuinely confused by all the F1 fans upset with McLaren saying they're only winning because they have a rocket ship this season.

Like yes.. that's how Formula 1 works

F1 is currently doing its summer Tyre test, so I thought I’d share what the winter test looks like in Abu Dhabi!

It’s my favorite session of the year to work! #f1 #motorsport

"Lewis, Box to overtake seven cars" - Ferrari today (probably) #F1

Think it’s unfair George Russell would likely lose his seat at Mercedes if Max joins the team?

Well, welcome to F1. He wouldn’t be the first guy to experience a tough break

Ask Carlos Sainz, or ask me. Performance doesn’t always get you ahead in this sport, especially if you bruise someone’s ego 🧵

Formula 1 fans suddenly becoming OSINT experts the moment they realize it might give them an edge on predicting driver contracts. #f1 #maxverstappen #mercedes

Huge congrats to Robert Kubica for winning Le Mans

He had a deal to drive F1 for Ferrari in 2012 but suffered a near-fatal rally accident that crushed his Ferrari dreams

That is, until AF Corse came calling. He DNF'd last year, he's a Le Mans winner in a Ferrari this year. #wec

I mean at this point Ferrari F1 fans should just stop watching and just switch over to WEC instead. #f1 #lemans #tifosi #ferrari

Note on the 2027 F1 calendar:

Zandvoort, Barcelona, Austin and Baku expire after the 2026 season.

Zandvoort already announced they won't be seeking an extension, Barcelona will likely dissapear too.

There's going to be a lot of competition to host a race, where would you like to see us race? #f1
June 10, 2025 at 10:17 PM
Everyone wants to complain about America having three F1 races, but somehow Spain finessed themselves into getting two races for 2026 😂

(It''s only for one year until Barcelona's contract runs out) #f1 #motorsports #spaingp

Weather for the Canadian Grand Prix is currently looking like it's going to be without rain and in the low 70s (That's around 22 Celsius for the non-Freebird unit speaking world)

I can hardly believe it. #f1 #motorsport
June 10, 2025 at 6:28 PM
It's official: Imola is off the 2026 calendar, Barcelona stays on for one more year

Canada now conflicts with the Indy 500 instead of Le Mans

This is the closest we've gotten to a fully regionalized calendar thusfar with Miami and Montreal finally grouped together.

#f1 #motorsport
June 10, 2025 at 1:34 PM
My hot take: If F1 wants to bill itself as "the 20 fastest drivers in the world" it should change its schedule to allow its drivers to participate in Le Mans and the Indy 500

We just had a bye week that could've perfectly lined up with Le Mans- instead we're in Canada this week #f1 #motorsport
June 9, 2025 at 7:08 PM
Who's ready for the Canadian Grand Pr-- I mean 24 Hours of Le Mans this week?

Free Practice 1 starts at 2pm local on Wednesday, FP2 is a night session at 10pm :)

It's worth noting: If Max Verstappen remains in fourth place or better in the championship by the end of the Austrian GP in late June: Red Bull has a contractual right to retain him for the 2026 season.

That'll mean no exit clause departure to Merc or Aston. #F1 #maxverstappen #redbull

New F1 front wing compliance testing is underway at the Barcelona Grand Prix.

It's going to be an interesting race week to watch with team performance. For the record, we're enforcing a pre-existing prohibition of flexible wings.

The FIA came up with proper tests for enforcement #f1
May 29, 2025 at 4:03 PM
Crucial to note with the Spanish Grand Prix coming up in F1 that Tech Directive 18 takes affect, limiting the usage of flexi-wings

Red Bull is hoping this will close the gap with McLaren. Ferrari already announced they're delaying major upgrades until some point in June #f1
May 28, 2025 at 2:25 PM
Just dropping some Lando photos I took, last Sunday was his first win since Australia, it's been awhile.

He's currently 2nd in the championship and only behind Oscar Pisatri by 3 points. It's close! #f1 #landonorris @mclaren

I've had enough, this is how you fix Monaco.

Unleash the goat #f1
May 27, 2025 at 8:21 PM
Happy birthday Franco Colapinto! Welcome back to the grid, looking forward to seeing your progress in #F1
May 27, 2025 at 6:53 PM
For all the griping on how we should remove Monaco for the lack of #F1 overtaking

Why toss out a crown jewel? People come to F1 because they're captivated about the Monaco Grand Prix

If you have a problem, change your car. Formula E lands over 100 overtakes every year here #f1 #motorsport
May 26, 2025 at 9:35 PM
Well, that was an amazing Sunday in Motorsport

-Lando Norris set the all-time track record at Monaco

-A wild Indy 500 with low track temps causing chaos and Alex Palou getting his first 500 win

-Kyle Larson double DNF at Indy and NASCAR

-Ross Chastain winning the Coca Cola 600

#motorsport #f1
May 26, 2025 at 2:23 PM
So update on the day: Kyle Larson made it to the Coca Cola 600, but completing the for the double is off since he DNF'd out of the Indy 500 in a crash

Still frickin impressive to drive both races in one day, I hope he'll give it another try next year to finish both! #nascar #indy500 #motorsport
May 26, 2025 at 12:03 AM
No, the Monaco Circuit isn't boring. The current generation of F1 cars are, they're just too large.

Monaco is a crown jewel race of Formula 1 for a good reason, if the racing here sucks, it's the technical regulations that are in poor shape. #f1 #monaco #monacogp
May 25, 2025 at 5:15 PM
Indy 500: Robert Shwartzman, Takuma Sato, Pato O'Ward on the front row.

All guys I've shot at #f1 😂 #Indy500
