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]
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, Ella, Payton, and Alisha in f1 academy, and prema/former-Prema drivers in most other series
Formula 1 is my special interest and I’ve been watching since Monaco 2024
this blog is run by a queer disabled leftist who is antiracist and antizionist

[Video ID: an onboard clip of Franco Colapinto from the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix. The video starts right before Eau Rouge. In front of him are Pierre Gasly and a VCarb in a close fight. Down a straight the other cars are side by side as Franco gains on them. He pulls to the right, passing both cars with apparent ease. Both cars stay behind him, with Pierre’s car only peeking out in the bottom corner. The audio is just from the cars. End ID]

Below is a quote typed in all caps. It says “practice like you’ve never won. Play like you’ve never lost.” End ID]
