How are you taking the news about Kevin?

It hit me like a ton of bricks, even if it is not a big surprise it still hits.

Especially because I will most likely never see him irl in F1.

i have avoided talking about this because i wanted to write a long post about it, but the more i think about it, the more i feel like it's the right time for him to say goodbye to f1. so I'll keep it short and sweet, and use matt bishop's words about k-mag.

among the many drivers with whom i have worked in my long f1 career, magnussen is without doubt the most passionately besotted with racing for racing’s sake. moreover, having tried my best to cheer him up in what was for him an annus horribilis, 2015, when he was bored and frustrated in the role of mclaren’s f1 reserve driver, i fervently hope that he does not agree to take on the kind of quasi-managerial role to which komatsu has apparently alluded. let’s be blunt. kevin is an old-school racer. as i say, his racing hero is stirling moss, who retired 30 years before he was born. many times, over a coffee or a beer, i have held his rapt attention by reeling off the stories i know so well and love so much, about antonio ascari, tazio nuvolari, achille varzi, bernd rosemeyer, rudolf caracciola, b bira, alberto ascari, juan manuel fangio, stirling moss, jim clark, graham hill, jackie stewart, jochen rindt, ronnie peterson, james hunt, carlos reutemann, mario andretti, gilles villeneuve, ayrton senna, michael schumacher, mika hakkinen, and many more. he absolutely loves all that. by contrast the only aspect of 21st-century f1 that he genuinely enjoys is the bit in the cockpit, even though he has raced a podium-worthy f1 car only once, in his first ever grand prix, since when he has started 175 more, the highlights being four fifth places.

k-mag is a racing driver, not just a f1 driver. i'm tired of seeing him struggle in a car that can sometimes make it to the points, while he sacrifices so much time with his girls. i want him to retire from f1, and go dominate in another racing series that allows him more freedom to be at home as well. i don't want him to take on an advisor role, at least not if that keeps him from racing.

kevin made his f1 debut 10 years ago, and he has a podium and a pole, despite being in a backmarker car for most of his f1 career. while i will miss him during the f1 weekends, i'd be happy to cheer for him wherever he goes next. he will always be a racing driver before he's a f1 driver.

what has been happening in the world of motorsports lately?

F1 Academy will have their own Netflix show with Reese Witherspoon

Courtney Crone joined F1 Academy this weekend as a wildcard entry for QVC

Ruth Buscombe joined F1TV experts for the rest of the season as she serves her gardening leave

Newey has been set aside from the RBR F1 project with immediate effect, he will focus on their hypercar project after Miami to avoid access to any information about 2025 and especially 2026 car prospects

reports of James Vowles meeting with Adrian Newey before Miami appeared, so some journals are speculating about him going to Williams in the future

rumours about Jonathan Wheatley possibly leaving RBR, which have been reported by a few journals, were denied by RBR

Pierre Waché signed a new contract expiring at the end of 2028 with RBR according to Racingnews365 (they say he signed a contract in 2023 but in the recent news and destabilization of the team, he extended this February)

12 members of US Congress wrote an open letter to Liberty Media over the lack of clarity over failed Andretti F1 entry and they are referencing Sherman Antitrust Act

Guenther Steiner is suing Haas for profit, which they owe him for using his image in promotional material

McLaren announced eBay as another official partner of the team

Ferrari Museum is now listed on Airbnb among "icons", the package includes VIP tickets for Imola with Marc Gene, dinner at Cavallino, private tour of Ferrari Museum, hot lap at Fiorano and a sleepover in a bed directly in the museum

Ferrari will bring their biggest upgrade package so far this season in Imola during the next GP

as a part of events remembering Senna and Ratzensberger, Seb Vettel will driver Senna's 1993 McLaren MP4/8 during the race weekend

Netflix posted a teaser for a new short Senna series

Spanish media (or Antonio Lobato specifically) speculated that Carlos Sainz has denied the Audi offer to which Carlos responded that he is still in talks with multiple teams

Valtteri Bottas' race engineer was fire before Miami without any previous discussion with Valtteri - it is a part of the structural changes before the team becomes Audi (probably also considering drivers, because he also said he is talking to teams and has options to stay in F1)

FIA confirmed they received the official request to allow Kimi Antonelli to race before he turns 18 and the voting process will follow, because multiple parties have to make up a decision which demands a rule change

Kimi Antonelli and Mick Schumacher will test W13 in Silverstone for a direct comparison of the two, James Vowles denied Kimi will be driving in Logan's car in Imola in an interview with Lawrence Baretto and then Williams representative spoke to Will Buxton and said they will not be commenting on driver contracts at this time

Fernando Alonso wants to meet up with Ben Sulayem over harsh penalties for Spanish drivers

Aston Martin's right to review the penalty from China has been dismissed (TLDR they submitted a new angle but the evidence wasn't deemed as substantial and new)

after F1 commission postponed the decision over a possible rule change to award 12 point positions instead of just 10, they will now evaluate 20 scored positions instead

stewards asked for a rule change after Kevin's track terrorism this whole weekend lmao

Alpine's upgrades for Imola put them to the weight limit for the first time this season (congrats Este on the singular point)

Lewis drove W12 in New York as a part of the WhatsApp partnership, which also saw the app changing red formula emoji to Mercedes colors

Macau GP 70th Anniversary

YOU. YEAH YOU READING THIS. This is me trying to pursued you to go watch the Macau GP this weekend. This track is historic and legendary. And one of the most fun and dangerous street circuits (imo) with tight corners and varying elevations. It is still the oldest (active) street circuit that still holds F3 (+other races) and isn't part of the F1 World Championship (the other being New Zealand🤝)

Since it’s the 70th anniversary and they are holding two wholeass race weekends with a BANGER entry list this year (full list at the end of the post), so why not take a trip down memory lane and talk about some iconic races and drivers throughout the years. [LONG POST, just saying][Also, surprises underneath]

Macau Grand Prix, Guia Circuit (or Circuito da Guia)—a circuit that spans 6.120km, with different elevations over 30 meters top to bottom (in non-metric terms: 2 small pine trees, or 2 volleyball courts for all non-metric people out there👍). Top speed: 260km/h for an F3 car, which is already a handful. This circuit has had little to no changes since the beginning of its grand opening. While this track serves as a stepping stone for drivers, it remains an independent circuit and race of its own. Though still having an affiliate with the FIA.

Although the first race event began in 1954, they didn’t introduce F3 until 1983. Which they had a strong start for F3 with the likes of Ayrton Senna and Gerhard Berger, respectively taking first and third place.

A few years later; Eddie Irvine, Damon Hill, Jean Alesi also left their marks on this race track.

But the most iconic moment came in 1990. The battle of Schumacher vs Hakkinen. The beginning of their motor rivalry.

Schumi took first place while Mika unfortunately crashed out at the back of Schumi’s car.

Jenson Button (a literal child) in 1999, second place. God works hard but those mechanics work even harder

In 2003-2004, both Lewis and Nico took part, whilst Lewis took pole and they both showed great results in qualifying. Neither of them went on to podium in both years.

2005: baby Seb starting to shine through and took third at the main race, just behind Kubica

They put a baby in a fast car

2009: Daniel, Valtteri, and Jules took the challenge. Jules started near the back end of the grid but was steady racing and finished 10th. Valtteri started 4th, had the opportunity to be on podium until he got a puncture on the last lap that saw him finish fifth. Daniel-not the best start- clipped the wall and punctured his left rear, carried on a little bit more until he crashed out of the race :( can’t find any video cuz apparently no one cared enough about 2009

2011: Valtteri’s third year in a row; the previous got him third place but this one he retired the car on lap 4 due to an accident. Kmag, da Costa, Carlos participated but all in all, half the grid retired in the end.

Pre-mustache Bottas and baby redbull Carlos

Bloop! 2014: a wild baby Max appears! Boy had good results in qualifying, placing him third, but in the quali race he lost control and crashed. Main race-7th. Nick Cassidy, Nicki Latifi, Antonio Giovinazzi, Alex Palou finished 3rd, 5th, 12th and 16th. Unfortunately, Antonio Fuoco and Estie Bestie retired :(

Yes, Max did get the fastest lap

2015: Everybody’s favourite! Charles Leclerc has entered the ring. Charlie’s aggressive attack led him to second place and on that podium. Giovinazzi-4th, Lance Stroll-8th, Nick Cassidy-12th and following close behind, my boy, Alexander Albon-13th

The race was that good even FIA had to post it on their channel lol

The infamous onboard camera

2016: we see the introduction of George Russell, Landon Norris, Callum Ilott, Guanyu Zhou and Ticktum (But we’re not gonna talk about him🤭). It was an okay race, António Félix da Costa took first (came 9th in the recent WEC👏) and Nikita crashed.

That year gave us baby Lando and baby George who took his first pole *surprise🎉*

2017: A fucking great racing year, Lando came second due to Habsburg and Sette Câmara crashing out in the final corner. It’s Mick’s first year, though not the best result but did manage to snatch the fastest lap 💨

2018: it was a scary ass race and I remember standing in front of the TV just watching this. Lisboa corner is famously know for a lot of accidents, Sophia Flörsch made contact with another that send her airborne and crashed into the barriers and fractured her vertebrae. Final standing: Mick-5th, Ilott-7th, Schwartzman-9th, Zhou-11th, Vesti-15th

I’m not gonna post the video, you can go look it up if you’re interested

2019: a lot more familiar faces: Richard Verschoor, Jüri Vips (yeah that one), Logan Sargeant, Callum Ilott came back for another year, Liam Lawson with his bestie Yuki Tsunoda, Enzo Fittipaldi, Max Fewtrell🫡, David Schumacher, Felipe Drugovich, Schwartzman’s second attempt and Sophia Flörsch

3 years of absence and we are back! 2023!

This year there’s two whole weekends, from 11-12th November and 16-19th November. And they’ve a banger list of drivers like Bianca Bustamante for F4 and Richard Verschoor taking another stab at it.

Macau F4 race is happening on the 11-12th:

F4 is happening the week after on 16-19th

The FIA is streaming F3 on the YouTube channel (streaming f3 not f4🥲…go watch motor gp too it’s on the same day) but you could probably watch it on other streaming platforms too (you know the ones👀👀)

If you haven’t seen the Macau GP before…give it a go! It’s brilliant!

*side note: if Fernando or Lewis ever retires from f1 and have nothing else to do…I’d like to see them tackle this track (again for Lewis) maybe not f3, maybe something like GT cup or something. It would be verrrry interesting👀

we must finish... what we started.....

yes, fuck it. you only live once and you only get the chance of wreaking havoc in a dying social network twice. to those of you who were here last year, you know the drill. to those of you who weren't, the idea is simple: we will have a champions league style tournament to decide who is the hottest of them all. the official tag will be #hottest drivers tournament 2022 in case you want to make edits and posts - the fan engagement was the best part of last year!

the first official round is on wednesday, 8 pm GMT+1, so in the meantime you can submit your fave driver for consideration either in my dms or in the replies to this post. i will maintain the list from last year as well just in case (behind the cut), but we can always add new drivers to the list! the one change i'll be making is that there will be a bot controller from the first group stages round to keep things breezy and light running. may we all have a happy summer break!

ps: pls don't send hate or talk shit behind my back this year, i have been doing therapy so i'm dealing better with personal issues but poor Odette doesn't need to hear about this insanity!!!!!

Bologna: a trent'anni dalla tragica scomparsa il ricordo di Ayrton Senna e Roland Ratzemberger

Bologna: a trent'anni dalla tragica scomparsa il ricordo di Ayrton Senna e Roland Ratzemberger. Un ricco calendario di eventi per ricordare, Ayrton Senna (1^maggio 1994) e Roland Ratzenberger (30 aprile 1994), a trent'anni dalla tragica scomparsa, dopo il Gran Premio di Formula 1 all'Autodromo "Enzo e Dino Ferrari di Imola". E' "Senna 30years": mostre, eventi sportivi, spettacoli che si snoderanno dal 21 marzo al 2 giugno per iniziativa del Comune di Imola in collaborazione  con l'Instituto Ayrton Senna, il Ministero degli Esteri e la Regione Emilia-Romagna. Con un focus particolare il 1^ maggio, giorno della morte del grande pilota brasiliano. Tra queste date, in calendario all'Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari due gare internazionali: la 6 Ore di Imola, secondo round del FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) il 19-21 aprile e il F1 Gran Premio del Made in Italy e dell'Emilia-Romagna, il 17-19 maggio. Il programma di "Senna 30 years" è stato presentato oggi nella sede della Regione Emilia-Romagna da Marco Panieri, sindaco di Imola; Stefano Bonaccini, presidente della Regione; Marco Rago e Giuseppe Incocciati, consiglieri del vice presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri e ministro degli Affari esteri e Cooperazione internazionale Antonio Tajani; Teodoro Lonfernini, segretario di Stato per lo Sport della Repubblica di San Marino. In una conferenza stampa che ha visto il collegamento dal Brasile di Bianca Senna, dell'Instituto Ayrton Senna, insieme all'artista Eduardo Kobra. E alla quale hanno partecipato anche Stefano Domenicali, Ceo Formula 1 e Gian Carlo Minardi, presidente Formula Imola. Mentre il ministro delle Relazioni estere della Repubblica Federativa del Brasile, Amb. Mauro Vieira, ha inviato un messaggio che è stato letto nel corso della conferenza stampa. A coordinare gli interventi Giammaria Manghi, capo della segreteria politica della Presidenza della Regione. Il programma Il calendario di iniziative prende il via giovedì 21 marzo, giorno di nascita del pilota brasiliano, con l'inaugurazione della mostra "MAGIC. Ayrton Senna – Imola 1994-2024. Fotografie di Angelo Orsi e Mirco Lazzari". Allestita al Museo di San Domenico (via Sacchi 4), l'esposizione si articola in 94 scatti inediti che raccontano con gli occhi dei fotografi Angelo Orsi e Mirco Lazzari le gesta indimenticabili di Senna ma anche, con grande sensibilità ed attenzione, il lato umano ed intimo dell'uomo Ayrton. Il 23 marzo, in occasione delle Giornate di Primavera Fai, "Ayrton Senna da Kobra a Pierotti": un percorso della memoria, fra arte, velocità e natura che prende avvio dal grande murale realizzato dall'artista brasiliano Kobra, dedicato ad Ayrton Senna, sulla facciata del museo "Checco Costa", per concludersi con il monumento dedicato a Senna, in bronzo, realizzato dallo scultore Stefano Pierotti, di fronte al punto in cui avvenne l'impatto del pilota, l'1 maggio 1994. Sarà l'occasione per ricordare anche il pilota austriaco Roland Ratzenberger. Dal 16 aprile al 1° giugno, la Biblioteca comunale di Imola (via Emilia 80) proporrà la mostra "Non esiste curva dove non si possa sorpassare. L'autodromo di Imola dalle origini al ritorno del WEC. Percorso espositivo MOSTRA WEC - 1994 - F1". Fotografie, documenti e giornali d'epoca raccontano momenti significativi che hanno segnato la storia dell'Autodromo di Imola. Un'altra mostra fotografica è quella proposta dal fotografo imolese Marco Isola, che nel cortile di Palazzo Vacchi (via Appia 37) presenta "ImolAyrton". Il Museo Checco Costa, in Autodromo, ospiterà dal 27 aprile al 1^ maggio, una mostra di Memorabilia di Ayrton Senna e Roland Ratzenberger. Fra queste anche il ritratto di Ayrton Senna realizzato dalla studentessa dell'Accademia delle Belle Arti di Ravenna Rita Amadori, nell'ambito di SCART, il progetto artistico e di comunicazione del Gruppo Hera. Si intitola "Da 'a Ayrton Senna' alle 'Iron pictures' - Stefano Pierotti: memoria e orizzonte", l'intervento artistico dello scultore di Pietrasanta. Autore del monumento dedicato a Ayrton, posto nel parco delle Acque Minerali, Pierotti realizzerà un grande murale (3,30 metri x 4,20 metri), che ritrae il volto di Ayrton, realizzato con la tecnica degli "Iron pictures". Momento clou del programma è il 1^ maggio, con il "Ayrton and Roland Day". Si comincia al mattino, alle 9.30, in pista all'Autodromo, con la Corsa/camminata dedicata ad Ayrton Senna. Al termine, a partire dalle ore 12, l'Autodromo sarà aperto al pubblico. Alle 14.17, ora dell'incidente di Ayrton, si svolgerà la cerimonia di commemorazione "SENNA30 years" alla curva del Tamburello. A seguire, ci si sposterà alla curva Villeneuve per celebrare il "ROLAND30 years", in ricordo di Roland Ratzenberger. Sempre a partire dalle ore 16, fino alle 18,30 questa volta allo stadio comunale "Romeo Galli", posto all'interno del Parco delle Acque Minerali si svolgerà il torneo di calcio 'Roland & Ayrton Tribute' tra le scuole calcio di Italia e Brasile, con giovanissimi provenienti da San Paolo del Brasile e squadre under italiane.
