It's XE race week and x44 are the only team to have not announced drivers yet. Who do they think they are, JBXE? 🤪

I really enjoyed your brocedes lore drop, do you have any lore about princess cake that you think people should know?

i could hardly talk about princess cake without mentioning the britney of it all. jenson talked multiple times about how into britney spears he was, how attractive he thought she was, he once even said that if he was stranded on a desert island he would take britney and an ugly man with him so she would sleep with him. he then nicknamed nico that because, and i quote "he was so beautiful". one time when nico and jenson went out clubbing with some of the others (mark, lewis, felipe etc.) jenson called out to nico "hit me baby one more time" and nico immediately got upset. since then jenson has gone on to date and marry a woman called brittny, reaching a stage of the psychosexual cycle that most don't ever get to.

jenson used to dock his yacht (park his yacht? idk the technical term) in the harbour overlooked by nico's building. i have no idea whether it was the most convenient harbour for him or not (although i'm pretty sure he didn't live in the same part of monaco as nico) and there's no indication it made any difference to their lives, but it amuses me. like a gatsbyesque kind of cry for attention.

jenson was a huge fan of triathlons, even organising some for charity i think, and nico also got into them. nico did what (according to jenson) many triathlon lovers do and got into finding ways to reduce his time, including getting a really lightweight bike. he and jenson would talk about that sort of thing leading to (what i consider to be) this iconic "hey jb jb jb" moment. they even competed together in several triathlons, including a charity triathlon they did as a team with alex wurz (jenson did the swim, alex the bike and nico the run).

nico originally wanted to do his extreme e team with jenson. he asked jenson, but jenson had already been looking into it and struggling to find sponsors so nico went off and did his team alone. they eventually both ended up entering teams, and nico's team rxr, lewis's team x44 and jenson's team jbxe ended the first season of extreme e as the top three teams (in that order). nico also later stole jenson's female driver mikaela ahlin-kottulinsky for the second season.

jenson's dad's favourite f1 driver was keke rosberg, so when jenson got the chance to meet keke at the 1998 spanish grand prix he was really excited. in his book he wrote about how irritating he found nico (who was 12) because nico was trying to tug keke away and jenson just wanted nico to leave them alone.

this is them both on that day. i like to think that it really is nico pulling at keke's arm in the second photo.

f1 news and rumours to keep us in shape during the winter break:

apparently Fred didn't want Charles to risk p2 in the race and his own position in the standings with the brave move he did to grt the team p2 in constructors

points are calculated and with them also entrance fees which for red bull for next year equals a huge amount of 7.4 mil

Merc team found the missing wedding ring in Yas Marina, congrats!

everyone heard the story about how Newey almost went to Ferrari (because they offered huge paycheck, a flat in Monaco and complete autonomy over F1 and hypercar projects to him), but I never knew Aston Martin was the key to tying him to Red Bull. Apparently Marko took him to the side at the time, asked what Ferrari offered and then offered more money (which is not what sealed the deal) AND a full hypercar where he can design his car how he wants - and that's how Aston Martin Valkyrie was born out of his papers

Este and George were sick (again) in Abu Dhabi and some team members across all teams were too, which raised important question that has been floating around f1 spaces for a while - how huge of an impact has this extensive calendar (even more so in 2024) on the mental and physical health of both the drivers and the team crew

Pourchaire potentially going to Ferrari/AR WEC? Or maybe Superformula, because he didn't manage to grab the F1 seat, but hinted at a new contract

cooling equipment from 2024 should be used at races with extremely warm condition as a reaction to Qatar gp this year, more over there is rumoured [very simplified non technical explanation from me coming] solution of making a small hole from the bottom of the front spoiler to make space for more air and fia claims it will all have precise rules so nobody could end up using it to gain unfair advantage

Merc seem to be finally scraping up the concept that didn't work for 2 years now and said they are completely reworking basically every single part of the car

Val rased 150k with his BotASS

Stephanie Carlin who is CEO/team principal of Rodin Carlin and Lewis' extreme e team x44 will be joining mclaren as business operations director

Ben Sulayem expressed how he would love to get Masi back into FIA

Logan has been official announced to complete the 2024 grid which remains unchanged for the first time

Tina Hausmann to Aston Martin F1 academy seat (I can't wait for Ferrari to announce who they decided to sign)

Jessica Hawkins expands her role in Aston Martin to head of racing for f1 academy too

Pato Oward now has enough points to qualify for a super licence

wet weather wheel covers will be tested in in spring 2024

no work on 2026 cars before 2025 is allowed to make sure nobody gets an unfair advantage

CBS is planning a comedy with Guenther Steiner

the Apex movie with Brad Pitt had its release date pushed back to summer 2025 (they face financial issues apparently as well as staff issues after the strike in Hollywood)

Iwasa is headed to Superformula for the next season

Forbes calculated what each driver made in 2023 (idk what their sources are for this tho) and the order is: Oscar + Pierre 8 mil, George 9 mil

Alfa Romeo as a brand is focusing from f1 to WEC now after the contract with Sauber expired (so no Alfa Romeo to Haas as some rumours suggested)

speaking of Sauber, on 10th December they are announcing a new name (based on new title sponsor) in the UK

Honda racing Thanks day (or whatever they call it) happened a few days ago and Yuki looked very cute, also Ferrari had an event in Jeddah last week and Charles could finally do his wishful donuts

Autosport Awards took place and Horner, Verstappen, Piastri and Norris (and who knows who else of the people i don't like) won in some categories i am too tired to list here

Ferrari movie red carpet happened yesterday and some big names including susie and toto wolff were there (fun fact: toto and Christian were asked about charles' rumoured contract extension and they both said he is a great driver and tvereis no reason for ferrari to not lock him down before 2024 contracts expiring carnage happens)

speaking of, Gazzetta reported that charles apparently signed a 5 year contract extension with ferrari and Carlos is expected to extend as well except he is asking for 2 year contract (or at least 1+1) and the team wants to sign him for one year only

some people (cough Horner cough) were concerned about conflict of interest of Susie and Toto Wolff because they hate to see the girlboss winning - there is now official investigation that neither the Wolffs/Mercedes nor the F1 were informed before FIA let the info go into media

Madrid street circuit signed a contract for 10 years starting with 2026 and while Barcelona promoters are trying to keep their place on the calendar i doubt we would have 2 spanish gps with how packed the calendar already is

F1 also announced 6 sprint locations for 2024 and it will be a mess :))))

also remember how Doohan tried to get a place in Alpine wec before mick took it? He is now out of f2 for 2024 and turned down indycar offer too so rip to him

Ferrari drivers are on sim duty this week to give feedback on 676 project

Fred also admitted they scraped 2 more upgrades they had planned out for this season to instead focus those sources (financial and designer) for 2024

Alonso and Verstappen are reportedly planning to do Le Mans together and looking for a third one (worst threesome in the history of universe, no matter who they choose)

Prize money was also calculated and it's 140 mil for rbr, 131 mil for merc and 122 mil for ferrari (etc etc)

everyone is so silent about Andretti (who got approved by fia but didn't get an agreement to join the grid from other f1 teams yet) because apparently Hitech who also tried to get into f1 got turned down despite being much futher in development (concept in wind tunnel, merc pre contract for engine supplying etc) and they will be launching legal action against fia/fom acussing them of bias

And finally Liam Lawson is now a youtuber (as he waits for f1 opportunity because he has the 2025 seat confirmed and ricciardo has a clause in his contract to be 1st priority for rbr if they let go of Checo but also to hire lawson for his place if it happens)

Following three seasons in Extreme E and a championship title in 2022, X44 has announced the team will be leaving the championship ahead of the 2024 campaign.

Following three seasons in Extreme E and a championship title in 2022, X44 has announced the team will be leaving the championship ahead of the 2024 campaign. In a statement, X44 said: "After three years as part of the Extreme E family, we’re today announcing that X44 will be departing the series. We’ve had an incredible three seasons competing as X44, winning multiple races and even a world championship. Thank you to our drivers Cristina, Fraser and Seb, and all our talented teammates who worked hard to help us achieve everything we did. Even more than the results on track, we’re proud to have been part of a bigger conversation about how to make motorsport more sustainable, of our success in giving people from all kinds of backgrounds an opportunity to thrive in this team, and of the legacy our team owner Lewis will leave behind with the Racing for All programme. Although we won’t be competing ourselves in 2024, we’ll be cheering on the series from the sidelines and keeping an eye on the exciting developments at Extreme H. Thank you for all your support." Alejandro Agag, Founder and CEO of Extreme E, said: "We would like to thank Sir Lewis Hamilton and his X44 team for their valued contribution to Extreme E during a successful three seasons in the series. They showcased their credentials on-track with some excellent race wins, not to mention their championship success in Season 2, but have also played a key role in implementing initiatives off-track which focus on gender equality, diversity and inclusion, such as the series’ Racing for All programme. X44 has been a driving force in increasing diversity and representation in the paddock – an ethos Extreme E has shared since day one – and we wish them well for the future."

Only Aston Martin have made a bigger step in 2023 than Williams Albon | RaceFans Round-up

In the round-up: Williams’ Alex Albon praises the team’s jump up Formula 1’s pecking order for 2023. In brief Albon encouraged by Williams’ gains since 2022 Alex Albon said he had “a really tough race” en route to tenth in the Bahrain Grand Prix, but was thrilled to make the points and rival Alpine who finished six places higher than Williams in the 2022 standings. The streamlined design of the Williams FW45 meant Albon had a higher straight-line speed than many on-track rivals as he rose up from 15th on the grid to bring home a point for Williams in race one of a season for the first time since 2017. “The wind made the cars I think for everyone much more disconnected than yesterday,” said Albon. “So to have the pace we had under the circumstances, I have to say I’m super proud.” His fastest lap of the weekend was 1.265 seconds up on his best lap at Bahrain in 2022. Aston Martin was the only other team to lap more than a second faster than they did last year. “Everyone I’m sure is looking at the Aston Martin right now on the podium and thinking what a step they’ve done. But we’re second [in lap time gain since 2022]. Where you look at us from last year to this year in this position, 12 months on, I have to say we’ve done an amazing job.” When asked if Williams could score regularly in 2023, Albon replied: “I believe so. I wouldn’t have said so coming into this weekend. But after this weekend, who knows anymore? We qualified out of position. We should have qualified higher up.” “The fact that we were racing the Alpines is a great sign,” he added. “We had our elbows out. I enjoyed my overtake on Esteban [Ocon].” Horner: “We fully expect our rivals to come back hard” Poll: Vote for your 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix driver of the weekend Red Bull may have taken a one-two in qualifying and the race at Bahrain, but team principal Christian Horner does not expect the team to dominate 2023 after Mercedes’ George Russell said the reigning champions “should win every race” with their current pace. Russell’s comments were put to Horner, whose team won 17 grands prix out of 22 in 2022, and he said: “23 races is a marathon. It’s about being consistent over the campaign. Today was a great start [for] both drivers. “Checo lost out at the start, the dirty side [of the grid], the benefit of the brand new tyre off the start line for Charles [Leclerc]. But the strategy and the pace we had enabled Checo to pass him. Then it was a question of managing the race to the finish. But we fully expect our rivals to come back hard in the future races.” Hamiton’s Extreme E team partners with F2’s Carlin Lewis Hamilton’s Extreme E team X44 has entered a partnership with Formula 2 team Rodin Carlin. The third XE season begins this weekend, and X44 are the reigning champions. The driver line-up for their car will be different this year, as rallycross racer Fraz McConnell replaces rally legend Sebastien Loeb alongside Cristina Gutierrez. Carlin’s co-team principal Stephanie Carlin will assume the team principal role at X44, and Stephanie Travers – who first started working with Hamilton as a trackside fluid engineer for Mercedes’ supplier Petronas in F1 – is promoted from associate sporting director to become deputy team principal.

NEOM McLaren Bolsters Extreme E Team with Seasoned Drivers

NEOM McLaren has made a significant move by signing Mattias Ekstrom and Cristina Gutierrez to drive for the team in the upcoming Extreme E season. The team, which has been part of the electric off-road series since 2022, aims to elevate its performance with these experienced racers.

Gutierrez, the Season 2 champion, brings a wealth of expertise to the team. Expressing her excitement, she stated, "Every driver in the world wants to be at McLaren one day, so it’s difficult to say no to this team." Her teammate, Ekstrom, who narrowly missed the Season 3 crown, echoed her sentiments, emphasizing McLaren's storied legacy and commitment to perfectionism.

Gutierrez's transition to McLaren marks a significant shift after spending three years with Lewis Hamilton's X44 outfit. However, she sees it as a new opportunity to contribute to McLaren's success. Ekstrom, on the other hand, is no stranger to Gutierrez, having competed together in rally raid events. He praised her intelligence and speed, highlighting her position as a top female racer in motorsport.

Both drivers arrive at McLaren following strong performances at the Dakar rally, where Gutierrez claimed victory in the Challenger category and Ekstrom showcased his prowess with Audi before encountering mechanical issues.

As McLaren gears up for the season, Ekstrom and Gutierrez anticipate a rigorous preparation process to fine-tune their performance and operations. Despite the challenges ahead, both drivers are eager to contribute to McLaren's quest for success in the Extreme E series.

Johan y Mikaela primeros: Los reyes de Cerdeña lo hacen de nuevo en la Extreme E

Ni un incidente en la largada de la Final pudo detener la racha triunfadora de Rosberg X Racing en Cerdeña, carrera donde han ganado al menos una vez todos los años en la Extreme E. En un manejo de gran remontada de Johan Kristoffersson y Mikaela Ahlin-Kottulinsky, la dupla recorta puntos en la lucha por el campeonato al quedarse con el triunfo en la ronda 1 del Island X-Prix en Italia.

La carrera estaba siendo dominada por Chip Ganassi Racing gracias a una excelente largada de RJ Anderson y un buen manejo de Amanda Sorensen pero cometieron una infracción en el cambio de pilotos que les costó 15 segundos y caer al tercer puesto de la clasificación. Así, habiendo remontado desde últimos en la Final hasta segundos, Rosberg X Racing heredó una trabajada victoria.

La victoria de Rosberg fue incluso acompañada por contacto, con Mikaela Ahlin-Kottulinsky tocándose con Catie Munnings y generando así un movimiento incómodo para la británica que terminó volcando y continuando con una temporada difícil para Andretti.

Los ex-líderes del campeonato de Veloce Racing quedaron relegados a ganar la Redemption Race, luego la carrera fue un buen negocio para Acciona Sainz que obtuvo la segunda posición con sólida conducción de Mattias Ekstrom y Laia Sanz. El equipo Acciona así toma el liderato del Campeonato.

Mañana continúa la acción de la Extreme E en Cerdeña.
