I think about that moment every day
These new rookies will never know the true terror an fe debut should be, for example, Jake Hughes, that post race drivers in a box moment where he looks absolutely traumatised by what happened to him in the race (Andre) and the elders of fe just laughed and went ‘welcome to formula e’ will live rent free in my head forever and it’s tragic that we no longer can traumatise the newbies in quite the same way
Listen.
We all love a good race winner celebration.
I’ve always thought that it was a shame there was nobody in Gen Z winning races in 2016, because the ultimate celebratory pose would be, obviously, to T-Pose on the top of the car. The power, the dominance. Could you imagine if Nico Rosberg hopped out of his car after winning the championship and T-Posed on Lewis Hamilton? They would both die instantly. We would all die.
Now hear me out.
We are so close to having this, all we need is George Russell domination and a willingness to commit to the bit (which he does have). Imagine it. Wins the race, hops out of the car, does his little pose. The people would eat. That. Shit. Up. (It’s me, I’m the people).
Full fucking circle moment. From being mocked for the pose, to being feared for it. There is only one man who can bring this energy back to F1 and it is George Russell. So what I’m saying is, Merc, help a girl out here. I have a vision.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
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

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.
2010 rbr seb truly was a menace (adorable as hell but a little shit through and through).
Valteri actually knows him. Max quit playing football to focus on karting. 😭
