A protest form from the Sports Car Club of America national autocross championships, alleging that a trans woman is not eligible to compete in ladies classes for [reasons]. Ruling of protest committee is that the protest has no basis and protesting party is an asshole.

Competitors (the not-asshole kind) in the SSC Ladies class at the SCCA Solo Nationals show support for their colleague who was protested for competing in a class she was not eligible for (spoiler alert: she totally was eligible).

Sometimes, motorsports gets it.
SCCA Solo Nats competitor is protested on Day 1 in a ladies class for being trans. Protest committee rules aggrieved party should get fucked into the sun. Day 2 the rest of class shows support for the protested party on way to her first run. She would go on to win.

Yeah women being on a motorsport broadcast will stop *checks notes* a 103 year old event that didn't even get stopped by WW1 or WW2 (only put on pause.)

I had a great time at Pikes Peak 😊 Oh and so did the sponsors, drivers, and network who thanked us after the broadcast!

I would have said β€œit’s great to be back with some familiar faces and I’m looking to deliver good results on the track with them” but he’s the one with media training so his answer must be good too

Can’t stop thinking how Pirelli made their tires TOO good.

They had to go a step softer for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and Miami Grand Prix to give us more pit action.

Quoted saying β€œGraining can put in an appearance,” as if graining was invited but hasn’t accepted the invite 😭

About to open an F1 History school because what do you mean there are comments saying Alonso had no talent and wasn’t a generational talent for his β€œgeneration?”

Also why are we trying to have nuanced convos on apps with character limits - that’s the majority of F1 topics 😭 #formula1

The internet becomes more tolerable once you realize that 99% of the people who are being assholes to you online have never actually engaged with your work and have no plans to.

Personal podium for the Bahrain Grand Prix:
Oscar Piastri
George Russell
Oliver Bearman

In the gravel:
FIA race system errors - At least the FIA apologized?

Red Bull - no easy fix. Best hope is upcoming tracks + tires work with the race package 😭

Did tyre wear really cause Leclerc's Chinese GP disqualification? Ferrari quickly blamed tyre wear for Charles Leclerc's Chinese Grand Prix disqualification. But was it that simple?

This is what I've been saying - there is more variability than just "tire wear." As Jon points out - tire wear was actually just one of several factors that contributed to Russell in Spa and now Leclerc in China. Great read! #formula1
