racecar is a palindrome

🐻 likes from disappearsreappears 🐻 what’s that line about you never see someone sad in a Ferrari? except this is F1 so I see that every race weekend. being proud of how the rookies do is my only salvation.

If you read one thing today, let it be this article written by Valtteri.

He talks about his career but also, candidly discusses his eating disorder. Some people might not know about it since I feel he doesn't get the same amount of attention as other drivers, but he's touched on it in the past - and has been shot down by people like DC, trying to minimise it - but I think this is the first time I'm seeing him be so open in such a way. The photo accompanying that section is sobering. In a sport where unsavoury things are glossed over, it's extremely brave for him to talk about it so frankly.

He also talks about mental health, touches on obsession, his rivalry with Lewis, and depression. He ends with where he's at today, which we all can see is a much happier and healthier Valtteri, and I'm so glad that he is.

There’s something to be said about how much Dori has earned this drive but that possibly the biggest thing to come out of this will be that it puts other teams to shame for how they treat their F1A drivers-

Why didn’t Abbi get a test from alpine, why did Ferrari stop showing off Maya immediately despite her being a vice champion, why didn’t anyone offer Marta anything

It’s not the moral good that drives f1 teams- it’s the chase of good PR, and now Merc have made them all look bad, I expect more teams are suddenly going to jump forward to do their own tests. And if that’s how we get to a better future for female drivers then fuck it, full steam ahead

f1 academy admin is making me cry

I talk shit about merc 24/7 but i will never thank them enough for giving Doriane an actual possibility and considering her one of their drivers and not only a marketing prop to discard after one year

[ella-lloyd]

I hate that it took 12 years but how fucking cool is this

I’m convinced the 2021 WDC and trophy is a sentient thing, filled with a slow acting poison that’s beginning to take effect as every member of the Redbull team that had part in stealing it drops like flies

It chose its champion, and it did not take kindly to theft. Like the kind of curse usually reserved for British treasure hunters who kept breaking into tombs

It's crazy how drivers like Kimi and Ollie get babied to oblivion, but drivers like Gabi, Isack and Arvid don't. Istg every single time Kimi does something it's always "awww, protect the little baby" while he'll be 20 soon. But Isack gets hate for daring to show emotion after Kimi ruined his race, make it make sense

F1 ACADEMY has confirmed the addition of an extra race each at Montreal and Austin to compensate for the cancelled Jeddah races.

I'm so frigging tired man I know the head of PR at Williams she's absolutely great and a 4'10" powerhouse of a woman who would never let a man tell her anything. so why tf are they posting Carlos being a misogynist tradwife freak on main fgs
