oscar piastri is the only driver on the grid who knows how to use twitter correctly
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
"On that note, we just like to remind you that aerial coverage for Indy500 is brought to you by Honda"
my mum has professional beef with honda. my dad has beef with honda because their motogp bikes are unrideable. i have beef with honda because marcus armstrong and katherine legge's engines died at the beginning of the indy 500. we are not the same, but we are united as a family
thanks @racingmuppett for the incredible lore post about blue hair vale where vale is talking about being mesmerised by a cool blue hair (lesbian) girl in a movie and wanting to be just like her!
I've found the interview "Why did u dye your hair blue?"
Translation (I tried lol)
< I’ve dyed my hair blue … most importantly I’ve cut my hair short! I’ve cut my hair short because I’ve been wanting to cut it short for a year … and then it was a bet I had with two or three friends and we all cut our hair short.
Then dyeing it …it’s something you can do … it’s something a little bit crazy, funny. Also winning the world championship is not something that happens often, it happens a few times, so it was worth it!
And then why blue, why the colour blue … because I saw a movie, 'Nirvana', a while ago and there’s the girl, the main character, with all blue hair … and the hair was so nice.
So when I was watching the movie I told my mom: “I’m gonna dye my hair blue”
“I’m not gonna let you enter the house like that” *he’s imitating his mom joking*
Now that I’ve done it she didn’t say anything … because if I cut it now, it’s not gonna grow back blue forever anyway >

Pour one out this patriotic weekend for Logan Sargeant 🫡
He’s not dead but Williams is making him drive a livery with a Union Jack on it during 4th of July weekend so he might as well be 😞
Siegel would never turn down an opportunity to drive for such an important team. Anyone hating on him isn't taking that into account.
Both him and Théo are very talented drivers. Théo in F2 and Nolan in LeMans. But they are also kids. Sending hate to literal kids for a team desicion sounds insane.
Your hate towards a driver won't change the desicion of a racing team. You're just bullying a child for getting an opportunity.
Mclaren has always, and I mean always treated their drivers like they are the least important part of a race/team. They fired Kevin Magnussen on his birthday in an email. They brought Daniel Ricciardo in and broke him because they couldn't figure out how to have a driver like him on the team and balance him with Lando.
They fired David Malukas because he couldn't drive with an injury.
And now this:
Not only did they very clearly blindside Theo Pourchaire, they had him give up his super formula seat in order to be able to driver for them. So now not only is Theo out of an Indycar seat, he has no seat anywhere. The 2023 F2 champion has no seat in any sport at all. It's insane that this is becoming an acceptable behavior.
I hope Theo is able to drive somewhere next season. There are rumors that as soon as his release was announced three teams immediately wanted his info. I have faith he will be in the seat.
DO NOT HATE ON NOLAN SIEGEL. This is not an invitation to do so. He seems like a nice guy. The pay-driver thing is going to be a reality of it all about him, but my big concern is that he has not even tested the Mclaren yet. I hate when a team makes a move based on info from other teams, even when their owner/manager is shared.
I would also like to point out that this decision is in the hands of Zak Brown. He runs Mclaren, both in Indy and F1. If he can do it in Indy, like he already has to David Malukas and now Theo, he could do it to his academy drivers and F1 drivers, like he did to Daniel Ricciardo. I would like to point out, actually, that he's still doing it right now with Oscar. Oscar has had considerable pace these last few races, even better than Lando on occasion, but they have consistently sacrificed him anyway. Oscar has the benefit of being fantastic and also having Mark Webber as his manager. I wouldn't be surprised if Red Bull or Aston Martin offer him a contract in the future. But for drivers who aren't as lucky as Oscar Piastri? It's a problem. Zak Brown has spent countless interview hours ripping into Red Bull's toxic driver environment. Newsflash, at least Red Bull doesn't pretend. At least every driver coming in knows they have a benchmark that is Max. The benchmark for Mclaren is money.
Max is the real idgafer. He is the only one without the Senna shirt 😭😭
When I say I'm not that desperate but I am acting the way Max does around Daniel :(
I know Mclaren is a fucking shitshow of a team when it comes to how they treat drivers but I'm really not appreciating all the shit people are giving Nolan Siegel because the team dropped Theo. Can we please be respectful?
Maybe this is Charles' attempt to escape the Leclerc Monaco curse by adding more Leclercs to the grid to confuse the curse
