In their own rhythm: neurodivergent women in the paddock Thereโ€™s always something happening in the paddock. Engines roar, screens flicker, and teams of people with lanyards and purpose in their eyes move quickly from one task to the next. Decisions are made...

๐Ÿง  Just came across an amazing article that deserves to be shared with more people ๐Ÿง 

It is about the strength of Neurodivergent individuals, especially women, working in the paddock.
Worth a read.

๐Ÿ˜‚ Maybe Jaguar should always put their two drivers in hotel rooms with connecting doors. ๐Ÿ˜‚
Was that the secret ingredient for the back to back wins in Berlin, maybe? ๐Ÿ˜‚

๐Ÿ† We have a new Formula E World Champion ๐Ÿ†

In a thrilling Berlin race, Nissan driver Oliver Rowland was crowned the world champion of season 11.
His former mentee, Taylor Barnard, told me: "Huge congratulations to him. And after the season he's had, he definitely deserves it."

For context: during season 10 the plan was to have NXT Gen Cup as the support series during the Misano, Monaco, Berlin and London. But due to "unexpected constraints" that had to be called off very last minute.

๐Ÿค” NXT Gen Cup at Formula E next season? ๐Ÿค”

I spoke to NXT Gen's Fredrik Lestrup today, and he told me they are working on it. They already had all their equipment in Misano last year before it had to be called off. Fingers crossed it works out next time. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

Just got to speak with Calvin:
He revealed that he was invited by Porsche boss Modlinger. They had a talk about possible future opportunities.
Could we possibly see Calvin de Groot in Formula E in the future? Possible future rookie test driver? ๐Ÿค”

๐Ÿคง Pascal Wehrlein has a cold ๐Ÿคง

During a group interview at Porsche, the reigning world champion was talking really quietly. All the travelling and (according to a Porsche team member) a sick Soleya (his daughter) have resulted in him feeling under the weather.

๐Ÿ˜ฑ Zane Maloney is limping ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Following the photoshooting for the new livery, jumping off the car, Maloney rolled his ankle. Walking to the media pen, the Boy from Barbados was still limping. I asked him if it was still THAT bad to which he responded: yes. But it is supposedly okay.

As part of the FIA Girls on Track program, NXT Gen Cup is hosting a workshop, a session focused on career paths and opportunities in motorsport.
That is probably the reason he is here.

The tunnels for the tube are like a sauna! It is relatively cold outside but once you go down these, you HAVE to take off multiple layers or you're sweating like a crazy person. So better bring layers you can easily take off. ๐Ÿ˜…

The wet conditions on the second day in Monaco resulted in quite a lot of work for the marshals.
Here we have one waving the yellow flag at turn 13/14 (opposite the ACM building) as one of the McLaren drives past.

And as you can see: his car was not the only car in this direction. There was one of the Maserati following the McLaren team.

You see EVs much more often on the roads these days. But sometimes it even seems like people are still afraid of them! In my newest article, I am exploring the role car manufacturers and charging station providers play in this.
