Cars go nyoom @lellalombardiapologist - Tumblr Blog

🏁 Hello! This is my motorsport sideblog! 🏁

There will be mostly 80s F1, but there might be some more recent or older stuff. I'm going through a cathegory 7 autism event and taking everyone with me.

My url is in honor of the iconic Lella Lombardi, the first woman who scored points in F1 (hopefully not the last!)...

... but I'm probably known more for my obsession with Didier Pironi and that's true. I'm a decorated officer in didier's defense army at this point.

Speaking of Didier, I take my job seriously: for a list of recommended materials about him, go here.

I'm Italian and my pronouns are she/they

I'm an adult with a job lol

For posts I made about drivers or races, go here. For my memes, go here.

maya weug posting about the difficulties of not driving a lot this year and saying leaving ferrari made it even tougher, abbi pulling being dropped by alpine and now has to ask her fans to help fund her career, both quabsi sisters leaving the redbull family, tina hausmann no longer supported by AM, all of this feels like just a box every team needed to fill, to be "woke" as many call it now when infact its supposed to help woman get into formula one but the teams don't even take it seriously. we are watching time and time again how so many talents like maya, like abbi, like other young girls on the F1A grid be left because they have served their purpose.

#abby too?? fuck #its depressing

being an athletic prodigy is a marketable quality on its own only if you’re a man. but not only do women have to be ten times more talented than men, they’ve also got to be pretty to be marketable. and marketability is everything in this sport. maya (and all these women) deserve so much better.
