I understand that, without my agreement, Alpine F1 have put out a press release...

Jack Doohan has the opportunity to be the funniest mf of the century

i think something that is hard to understand outside of italy is how regional motosport culture is and how much it varies. it's actually mostly in the northwest especially emilia-romagna and that's why many riders move there. so i made this, hopefully it also help understand why pecco moved to tavullia and franco's family also.

“max verstappen is arrogant and rude” ??? max verstappen who gives advices to oscar after a race? who supports ollie at his first gp at saudi arabia? who cheers up liam in his first experience in f1? who plays therapist for lando and george? AND DON'T EVEN LET ME START ON WHAT THIS MAN DOES TO CHARLES LECLERC-

what's the context about david malukas?

ok quickfire recap:

david malukas signs a contract to drive the #6 car for mclaren this season

david breaks his hand in a cyling accident before the season starts

callum ilott fills in for him for the first two races

david's injury is worse than expected and the recovery is taking a while

callum has a wec clash so théo pourchaire fills in and does decently well

david still has not recovered and there is a clause in his contract that mclaren can fire him if he misses a certain number of races. mclaren takes that out and fires him

théo signs with mclaren full time for the rest of the indycar season (except the indy 500, which callum does), dropping out of super formula

théo has an incident with agustin canapino on track in detroit, gets hate messages and death threats, mclaren rallies behind him and publicly stands up for him and ends a business partnership with JHR, agustin's team

JHR suspends agustin for a race, nolan siegel races road america for them instead

david malukas finally recovers from his injury :) and signs with meyer shank for the rest of the season, starting with this weekend

nolan siegel wins le mans in the lmp2 class with united autosport (which is owned by zak brown)

yesterday: théo tweets about how excited he is to race at laguna seca this week

today: mclaren announces that nolan siegel will drive the #6 car for the rest of the season starting this weekend AND that nolan has a multi year contract

which leads us to david malukas's tweet which was deleted within less than 10 minutes

basically it's a response to mclaren putting a 3rd replacement in the car when david is already back on track himself

also edit: IMPORTANT CONTEXT, théo was not doing badly for a rookie and it does not seem like there is any reason to replace him from a results standpoint at this point

And it hits me suddenly

After this season, there will be no more Zhou and Valtteri

What am I going to do?

Crying in the club right now
