Nicole Havrda has never seen a woman start a race in Formula One. No one has in nearly 50 years.

I am liking a lot of the gaming posts on BlueSky so far. I wish I could weigh in on the Game of the Year debates, but my 2024 has been dominated by resurrecting years-old God of War Ragnarok and Red Dead Redemption II saves and playing Marvel Puzzle Quest while waiting for the bus.
