Formula 1 Image Descriptions

A blog dedicated to improving accessibility in the Tumblr Formula 1 community through providing image descriptions [Icon ID: the formula 1 logo which is "f1" written in red text on a black background]

[f1-described]

About the blog:

I reblog posts with or add image descriptions to posts relating to Formula 1 and related racing series with the intent of increasing accessibility in f1 posts on tumblr.  I do this because f1 tumblr has a notable lack of image descriptions. 

You can copy any image descriptions I write onto your own posts. Credit appreciated but not necessary.

Posts here will be mostly from my dash, but I encourage others to send me or tag me in posts or add image descriptions themselves. 

I hope to keep this blog as accessible and inclusive as possible, so if I fail to do that, please let me know. 

About me:

My name is Finnean (@a-hopeless-aromantic) and my pronouns are xe/xem

I cheer for Lewis, Alex, Isack, and Esteban in formula 1, Alba and Ella in f1 academy, and prema in most other series

Formula 1 is my special interest and I’ve been watching since Monaco 2024

I do art so you may see some of that interspersed as shameless self-promotion

this blog is run by a queer disabled leftist who is antiracist and antizionist

*speaking head emoji* TC: "Does Monaco offer greater possibilities for you and Williams?" *speaking head emoji* Albon: "Uh yeah - well there's no groundhogs in Monaco, so should be a bit smoother." There is a photo of Albon in dark blue Williams T-shirt, holding a FIA/F1 microphone in the pre-Monaco press conference. /end ID] @f1-described

[Image description: Tweet from The Race:

Q: "Were there any other options on the table when you put pen to paper this time round?" *speaker emoji* Leclerc: "There were, yes. I'm not going to say who, they can say it if they want." There is a photo of Charles Leclerc, in a red Ferrari T-shirt, holding a FIA/F1 microphone in the official Monaco pre-weekend press conference.

[Image description: An uncredited article extract: "Lindblad credits his family's attitude towards work with keeping him grounded, and seems uninterested in the luxury lifestyle often associated with F1 drivers. 'Not everyone has the opportunity to race in Formula One and I'm very grateful to have had that opportunity due to my parents' hard work," he explains. "My dad got his first job at 11 while his parents struggled to put three meals on the table… I come from a family that had to work for everything they had. It's given me an awareness about the world, and because of that I don't have any interest in the lavish Monaco stereotype." /end ID] @f1-described

i hope so too giuliano duchessa

[Image description: Tweet from Guiliano Duchessa, translated from Italian by Grok: Leclerc signed a very long contract with Ferrari in 2023, but there was an option at a certain point.

However, here a new extension has been signed ahead of schedule. This shows that both parties are unwaveringly believing in each other. I hope that Charles can manage to fight for what he deserves. /end ID]

All text apart from "AI" was in small letters /end ID] @f1-described
