teamx44: Transportation is one of the fastest-growing sources of global emissions, and not surprisingly, this has placed an unequal burden on vulnerable communities around the world.

So lewis hamilton’s team x44 teamed up with earthrise studio to shine the spotlight on 6 dynamic young activists who are tackling the issue of transportation and how it shapes their local communities and the world at-large. We hope their stories of passion and activism inspire you to think even deeper about what movement means to all of us.

All 6 short films dropping this coming Monday, July 31st on lewis hamilton’s YouTube channel

Apuesta ganadora: El X44 gana por primera vez con nueva combinación de pilotos y nuevo partner técnico 

Una importante victoria logró el Vida Carbon X44 de Cristina Gutiérrez y Fraser McConnell al quedarse con el triunfo en el primer Hydro X-Prix en Escocia. Es el primer triunfo en una importante apuesta del equipo de Lewis Hamilton al cambiar de soporte técnico a Carlin Racing y subir a Fraser McConnell a reemplazar a Sebastien Loeb. El resultado también le permite al equipo de Cristina meterse de lleno en la lucha por el título.

Después de ver la Clasificación 1 cancelada por niebla, con mejores condiciones se disputó la Clasificación 2 y en su Heat, X44 dominó con claridad mostrándose como favoritos al triunfo. En la Final, una espectacular largada por una línea alterna puso a McConnell puntero en las primeras curvas, pero fue adelantado por Timmy Hansen del Andretti United luego de irse ancho en una frenada.

Hansen y su compañera Catie Munnings liderarían toda la prueba con McConnell y Gutiérrez de escolta, pero una penalización por un mal protocolo durante el cambio de pilotos les quitó el triunfo. Así, la dupla española-jamaiquina se convertía en una nueva pareja triunfadora en 2023.

El podio lo completaron Christine GZ y Timo Scheider del Carl Cox Motorsport en una carrera donde debieron sobrevivir ya que el Ganassi sufrió un pinchazo y el Rosberg X Racing sufrió un fuerte vuelco tras una salida de pista de Johan Kristoffersson.

Con los resultados de hoy, el campeonato queda muy apretado con Acciona Sainz de Laia Sanz y Mattias Ekstrom, ganadores de la Redemption Race para los picados liderando con 56 puntos seguidos de Veloce con 52, X44 con 49 y Rosberg X Racing con 42.

Mañana se disputa otra ronda en Dumfries and Galloway, Escocia.

O que muda na Extreme E em 2024

A principal mudança que a organização anunciou que a temporada de 2024 será a última da Extreme E, más não é o fim totalmente da categoria será uma troca de energia que os carros usam nas baterias, sendo usadas baterias de hidrogênio e sendo renomeada para Extreme H, além de ter a troca para um novo carro.

A ideia inicial era que a Extreme E , e  a Extreme H , correrem no mesmo final de semana em grids separados , tendo as baterias de classificação da serie E , logo depois as da serie H , e depois tendo as finais das duas separadas , como é feito nas categorias de rallycross.

Outras mudanças a saída da ABT Cupra , inicialmente ficaram somente 9 equipes , até a entrada da nova equipe Sun Minimal Team .

A  X44 Vida Carbon Racing sai da Extreme E em 2024

A Hummer EV Chip Ganassi Racing não estará na Extreme E em 2024, há interesse de retorno para a Extreme H em 2025.

A Carl Cox Motorsport não participara da Extreme E em 2024 pensando na temporada de 2025 da nova Extreme H.

E com a saída demais três equipes da temporada de 2024 , ficaram somente 8 na temporada atual. com a entrada além da sunminimal team , a equipe da Nascar Legacy Motor Club entrara na temporada de 2024.

There is a Twitter Magnifico simp account who has the most braindeadass takes on Wish.

A notable post they made is comparing Asha with Gaston with Knowing What I Know Now compared to the Mob Song.

🙄

yeah totally makes sense. song that literally goes “kill the beast” is the same as asha (who is being framed as a criminal by the king and has the whole kingdom against her) telling the truth to her friends about the king being crazy evil

although you know what really makes me mad. it’s people in the comments for these kind of posts. they always blindly go “yeah! so true! disney sucks! don’t watch their movies!” without even questioning what’s being talked about. they don’t know who this is. they haven’t seen wish. they haven’t seen a disney movie in 10 years. but they’ll always go “yeah disney is so bad now that it’s gone woke🙄” I’d literally love to take their phone and throw it out the window

X44 Takes Their Second Season 3 Win at the Sardinia Island X Prix

Fraser McConnell secured the perfect start for X44 as he charged around the outside in the opening corner. Another impressive overtake followed, as Loeb managed to pass RXR’s Johan Kristoffersson to take second. As the next drivers took over, a confident drive from Cristina Gutiérrez ensured the win for X44 ahead of RXR’s Mikaela Åhlin-Kottulinsky in second and ABT CUPRA XE’s Andersson in third.

Cristina Gutiérrez retorna al X44 en la Extreme E 2023, será compañera de Fraser McConnell en renovado equipo con apoyo de Rodin Carlin

El equipo de Lewis Hamilton tendrá una importante evolución para 2023, cambiando tanto de preparador como de alineación de pilotos luego de obtener el título por lo justo en 2022. Para esta temporada, X44 Vida Carbon Racing se ha asociado con Rodin Carlin, conocido y exitoso equipo de las categorías menores de la Fórmula 1 e intentará seguir rompiendo barreras de integración con nuevos programas de inclusión. Las primeras dos temporadas, X44 estuvo asociado a Prodrive.

En cuanto a los pilotos, Cristina Gutiérrez seguirá en la escudería campeona pero ahora acompañada por Fraser McConnell, piloto jamaicano del Nitro RallyCross que hizo su debut junto a JBXE el año pasado luego de ser piloto de campeonato.

El renovado X44 será dirigido por Stephanie Carlin, que compartirá este cargo con liderar la estructura Rodin Carlin en la nueva categoría femenina F1 Academy. Además de Carlin, el equipo de mecánicos e ingenieros estará formado por integrantes de diversos orígenes buscando aumentar la inclusión en la categoría.

“Después de la victoria de la temporada pasada, estoy muy emocionada de volver a la pista y darlo todo de nuevo por el equipo. Fraser es un joven talento emocionante y tengo muchas ganas de competir con él este año. También estoy ansiosa por conocer al nuevo equipo y me siento privilegiada de ser parte de la aventura hacia una industria más justa e inclusiva. No puedo esperar a ver lo que podemos lograr juntos” declaró Cristina Gutiérrez, que volverá a disputar la Extreme E junto a X44 por tercera temporada consecutiva al mismo tiempo que participa en el Mundial de Rally Raid FIA W2RC.

A equipe do Sir Lewis Hamilton , X44 anunciou ontem que não vai disputar a temporada de 2024 da Extreme E , após três anos na categoria , a equipe que foi campeã em 2022 com a dupla Sebastien Loeb e Cristina Guttierrez , que teve 4 vitórias na categoria , uma na temporada de 2021, e também 2022 e em 2023 duas com a dupla Fraser McConnell e Cristina Guttierrez que terminou a última temporada da 4ª posição.

O comunicado da X44

“Depois de três anos como parte da família Extreme E, anunciamos hoje que o X44 deixará a série. Tivemos três temporadas incríveis competindo como X44, vencendo várias corridas e até um campeonato mundial. “Obrigado aos nossos pilotos Cristina, Fraser e Sebastien, e a todos os nossos talentosos companheiros de equipe que trabalharam duro para nos ajudar a alcançar tudo o que fizemos. Ainda mais do que os resultados na pista, estamos orgulhosos de ter feito parte de uma conversa mais ampla sobre como tornar o automobilismo mais sustentável, do nosso sucesso em dar a pessoas de todos os tipos de origens uma oportunidade de prosperar nesta equipe, e do legado que Lewis, proprietário da equipe, deixará para trás com o programa Racing for All. “Embora não compitamos em 2024, estaremos torcendo pela série do lado de fora e ficando de olho nos emocionantes desenvolvimentos no Extreme H. “Obrigado por todo o seu apoio.”

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.

[20dollarlolita]

If anyone is wondering, this tutorial to make this skirt is still a method that works. Both those links are from wayback machine captures from a time before Photobucket betraying us all and deleting pictures.

Yes, I'm still mad about that.

Anyway, in the spirit of seeing if budget lolita was still doable in 2023, here we go with a cost breakdown:

>Main skirt fabric was a $10 walmart 4-yard precut; enough fabric to make waist ties not pictured here >Skirt is fully lined with a polyester bedsheet I got for $1 at a surplus store >The bow lace was part of a bulk purchase, ended up costing 21cents a yard. Skirt probably has 6-8 yards of lace on it. The little vertical strips were scraps from another project. Back shirring on skirt is 1/4" elastic, which covid conveniently made super cheap. >I didn't have the zipper on hand, so I had to buy one for $1 at walmart. As anyone who has been on Wawak knows, that's massively overpaying for zippers.

This skirt is 3" longer and a few sizes larger than the one in the post. I had to make a new cutting layout for the skirt, and it took a fair bit of additional fabric. In addition, to save on fabric width, the "side seams" on this are actually a little bit farther back than the side of the skirt. I cut the back of the skirt to full fabric width, and then added the adjustment for the fullness into the side front pieces. Clarice, who wrote the original tutorial, mentions that the person she made it for was very small, so I sized it up a little bit.

I make sketches like this as I go for personal reference, but maybe it'll be helpful.

In the spirit of livejournal, I "clarified" my sketch by making it more confusing in GIMP. (Your pieces you need to cut will be back: 44"x19.5", cut 1. Side Front, 22"x19.5", cut 2. Center Front, 15"x25.5", cut 1. Frills, 5.5"x44", cut 9 or 10).

So, when we get into it, yeah, if you have a good design (or can copy a good design) and you're willing to put some time into it, you can still do a budget lolita skirt for under $20 of materials, if you're careful. I'm mostly making this post to save which archive.org captures are the ones with working pictures.

(It also helps if you don't mess up on the waistband so many times that it slowly shrinks into a 1" waistband.)

Fun fact: the trim on the ends of the waist ties may or may not be because I hemmed them sloppily and the hem came up bubbly, and zigzagging some lace onto the bottom handily covered up the bubbling. One of the advantages about knowing a decent amount about lolita fashion is that you can look at things and go, "Yeah, if I added x here, it'd be fine," and knowing enough about sewing to go, "yeah, if I do x cheat here, it'll look better" and being able to put the two together and go, "hey, if I cheat here, it'll still look lolita!" It's a good feeling.

Anyway, if anyone else has ever used Clarice's tutorial to make a skirt, I'd love to see it! This is my second time using it, but the last time was almost a decade ago at this point, and I think I've improved a lot since then.

So I was thinking (whilst I should have been sleeping) and many fans still seem shocked at the recent change in Lewis' attitude to Nico, however I don't think it is that new and it has been occurring for a while.

2016: Obviously, Nico wins the championship after Abu Dhabi, despite Lewis trying to use Seb to take the championship himself. This is followed by Nico's shock retirement announcement at the prize-giving press conference. Both Nico and Lewis claim not to be friends and are uncomfortable with mentions of the other. Lewis goes on for years to refuse to call Nico by name.

2018: Nico does his first Sky Sports gig, and Lewis absolutely refuses to be interviewed by him.

2019: Niki Lauda, who convinced Lewis to join Mercedes, passes away which Lewis said hit him harder than expected. Niki had been there for Lewis since he welcomed him onto the grid at a time no one else did (a trait he tries to carry forward with the rookies). Niki, who was the one who tried to fix things between the teammates - locking them in rooms together, making them pay for damages after they crashed, etc. Niki who encouraged them to put it all aside and never got to see them start to repair their friendship. Very few people would have known Niki like Lewis, and, unfortunately, one of them will have been Nico. No escaping there!

2020: Nico starts RosbergXRacing who proceed the spend Extreme E competing against Lewis' Team X44 and swapping championship titles between them. Nico, however, appears to take a more active role in this than Lewis.

2021: Lewis, of his own accord, adds that he is a better teammate now than in 2016 to a press answer before Abu Dhabi. Nico's reaction is caught on camera and is kind of emotional. Lewis then goes on to lose AD and the championship, which should have been his. This is the first time he's lost since 2016 and in a very similar situation. He also loses to the kid who took his first win in Barcelona in 2016, partially due to him and Nico crashing each other out when they were at their worst. All of this happens in front of Nico. Lewis has since opened up about how he struggled mentally after losing this championship, whereas he has always chosen to avoid discussing 2016. This is essentially character growth.

2022: This is the year that Mercedes goes to shit and Lewis contemplates what he's still doing in F1 and at his lowest whether he should quit. He has given everything to this sport but whether it was enough. There is no way that Nico didn't cross his mind during all of this given the many many similarities.

2023: Lewis talks about his first time in Monaco not being for a race, but because a friend invited him to stay. The friend obviously being Nico. He is still being careful not to give too much away or refer to Nico by name, but seems happier bringing him up in conversation and seems to fondly remember their past. Also, Nico says Lewis is still his best friend in his heart during Hungary GP commentating, before trying to brush it off and lighten the atmosphere. He, then, in true Nico style proceeded to spend the rest of the race praising Lewis.

2024: The change in their relationship is now obvious to even the less attentive of fans. It starts off with Nico telling Suddeutsche Zeitung that they have repaired their friendship, see each other occasionally, and that Lewis sends the girls presents every Christmas. Then, Nico gets two one-on-one interviews with Lewis, the latter starting with a "good to see you" and ending with a wink. Lewis brings up Nico unprompted and by name to give happy anecdotes of their shared history - despite claiming his memory is really bad the rest of the time. Nico bets on Lewis for some wins because he knows how good he is and jokes about him when he is receiving his Mercedes hypercar. He also seems a lot more comfortable joking about the whole team orders situation with Mclaren and comparing it to his time in Mercedes with Lewis, even when his colleagues get nervous for bringing it up. Lewis also brings up Nico in Grill the Grid (incorrectly) because he was told that he should know the answer and that the driver hated media. There is so much to read into that and the fact that Nico was the first person to cross his mind from those clues. His reaction after when he realised that he'd slipped up was great, though.
