i. notice. basic stuff, don't be gross. this isn't strictly f1 though it did start from it, i'll post stuff about f1, indycar, and general car enthusiasm stuff.

ii. tagging. i tag by series, and driver + number. is this rough for indycar? yes. do i feel like changing the entire system again? god no. if they don't have a number and/or i don't know, tagged with their full name. older drivers are their names (ie. schumacher for michael, senna for... you get it).

since dori tested the merc at silverstone today, i've seen a couple of posts about how she's the first female driver to test an f1 car since susie wolff in 2012, but that's not true; she's the first since susie to test one at silverstone specifically! tatiana calderón tested a sauber at autódromo hermanos rodríguez in 2018, and jessica hawkins tested an aston martin in 2023 at the hungaroring.

i believe that's it, but feel free to fact check me on this. it's staggering that there have only been four women to test f1 cars in the last twelve years. i hope dori's success continues, and we get more women at the "top level" like this.

i admire valtteri so much. he went from this very shy, quiet person with basically no friends in the paddock who was struggling with an eating disorder and a divorce and basically just radiating depression to this beacon of joy and positivity. it’s really really difficult to do that and he did it all by himself. there was really no one looking out for him for a long time and then he made one friend in the paddock (paul ripke bless that men forever) and got a girlfriend he loves very deeply (we love tiffany cromwell too) and decided screw it, I’M going to be the person that i needed when i was having a hard time. and he befriended notoriously unapproachable lewis and took zhou under his wing when he was clearly struggling and he was a helpful to kimi in his rookie season and buried the hatchet with george. this man has worked SO hard on himself and even more than that he’s extending his hand to others.

controversial but i have to say this: i’m seeing a lot of takes railing against the gpda and asking "why are they not doing anything about how bad the new regulations are?", and unfortunately bestie, I think you’re all massively overestimating the other drivers on the grid and their ability to actually stand for anything.

george russell, head of the gdpa, was literally trying to action something as small as ensuring there was showering facilities for the drivers at every grand prix last year…and no one would back him!! one of the drivers literally said: "we should make sure there’s a hairdryer at every event just for george’s use" like you really think they’re going to george and carlos and actually trying to come together to make change?? that would actually require they step out of their own little bubble and do something difficult, like prepare an actual proposal, organize a strike, actually convey their reservations without devolving into swearing and shouting.

the persistent idea that the gpda is useless, or should be disbanded, or that george and carlos are using it to enact their own personal grievances against certain drivers (specifically max) is laughable. george only took the job because nobody else could be bothered to do it. it’s not george that is not taking the job seriously, it is literally everyone else! at the end of the day, none of the other drivers really care to utilize the gdpa correctly; it’s too much work for them, they don’t care, they don’t want to be involved in making the sport "too woke".

I’m just confused as to what y’all actually expect the gdpa to do in this situation when the other drivers are so unwilling to collaborate and stand together on a single issue? They’re not looking for real, systematic change, they just want to reserve the right to complain.
