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
In a 1997 interview Valentino Rossi was asked about his hair blue: he said that he chose that colour because he was watching the movie Nirvana (1997), the female character had blue hair and he thought it was cool.
That's the female character
Now if that's not pure bisexual energy I don't know what it is
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 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?
When I say I'm not that desperate but I am acting the way Max does around Daniel :(
rbr Charles never dies it only transforms
but i hope people rememebr that checo is actually a good driver right?? right???? people do remember that???? yeah??????
I still don’t think I’ll ever forgive F1/Liberty Media for stealing the individual livery reveals from us.
Like the gradual build up to the start of the season, with each team having their moment has now been replaced by some overwhelming performance
Ferrari: according to the information received by @FormulaPassion, Adrian Newey is in permanent contact with the Scuderia management.
The Maranello team is in pole position to recruit the engineer.
i’m going to be okay tomorrow! (lying)
