#2?
In no particular order
James Hunt used to throw sex parties and apparently bedded 5000 women
Ayrton Senna at 25 courted a 15 year old and the relationship lasted 3 years
Seb killed/shot Horner's wife's favourite bird
Spygate / crashgate
Alonso and Taylor Swift dating rumours
Prost left Renault because management blamed him for losing the championship but the apparent truth is more along the lines of getting the team principal's wife pregnant
The story of how a $430k diamond disappeared forever at the Monaco GP
This article where Felicity explains Alonso and her hooking up multiple times in detail
Brocedes lore
Pierresteban lore — apparently Esteban stole Pierre's gf and that was the origin of the feud
Hamilton has a feet fetish 😭😭
F1 circus was used to smuggle drugs in the 80s-90s (and probably still is) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ → F1 Racing had a piece on this once and noted that if you sat down to design a drug smuggling business it'd look a lot like F1.
Note; while compiling this list i realised Alonso is almost always involved 😭

I was working on gaining experience in motorsport but now I don't want to anymore due to the news. I have been torn up about this since it was announced. Am I even safe working in this industry? Is it only a matter of time?
I think there are two things to take from this: even in an organisation as closed-ranks as Red Bull, this was investigated. And although it's depressing to see many people either expressing disbelief or seeking to discredit the victim, there are a much larger number of people outraged. Not just that it happened but with the entire process, including the way it is being played as a political trophy within Red Bull as an organisation and the wider reaction of Formula 1 and the FIA.
In every industry, there are imbalances in power that lead to exploitation. Ableism, racism, sexism and homophobia go hand in hand with unfairnesses like nepotism and favouritism. Some industries, especially those that people really want to work in and where there are limited opportunities, have it worse - you see it in acting, in games, in music, in motorsport.
Nowhere is safe from the structural inequalities that frame the world. In any job you'll be in some level of danger. That's not intended as a blanket scare or as some way to minimise or dismiss the specific (and extremely unpleasant) case being brought this week.
I definitely have experienced sexism and outright attempts at exploitation/abuse in motorsport. A man who's still a popular pundit spent several years lying to me and even though I'm really not this naiive, somehow convincing me to exchange lewds. Another one who's in a senior editorial position routinely sends me obscene messages. Men from teams and championships and heritage programmes have tried to get me to fuck them and I'm not young or hot or particularly desirable - it's just that I was there and a woman and so it's almost seen as obligatory that they do it, so they can dismiss you as a slut.
I wrote a little about this when the Mazepin thing came out a few years ago. It resonated with a painful number of women across motorsport, I got hundreds of messages after it was posted.
But. This is being taken seriously. There is a clear level of discomfort within the wider paddock about Horner's presence - some of that is political, it is in the teams' interests for there to be disruption at Red Bull. But a lot is clearly pretty visceral horror and anger at both the reputational damage to the sport and what's happened.
Do not let the fact that there are gross people out there deter you from a dream. Do let yourself be angry about it and mould that anger into a toolkit to address it. Look out for the people around you, try to promote positive workplace cultures, call out unpleasant behaviours, especially in scenarios where you are relatively unaffected. (eg: if you're a straight woman and someone says something gross about a gay man, if you're a white person and someone says something racist, etc)
Motorsport needs good people to work in it to change. It needs you far more than you need it. Don't let it reverse or exploit that and you will have a level of power that constitutes safety because you won't let it damage you for the sake of getting something it isn't offering. (If someone is behaving exploitatively then they are not giving you anything, they are trying to see what they can take)
It's been a shit week. I feel awful for the woman who's been doxxed, robbed of compensation and had her career ruined. Who's being discussed and discredited by the paddock, by journalists, by the most toxic fans. In a just world, people would be protecting her but that would need the population of all those groups to change significantly.
So don't let it put you off. Let it make you keener to displace them.

f1 twerk list you say?
this ranking was taken based off of the following criteria: bunda levels, documented dancing, clubbing record, susceptibility to getting white-girl-wasted, tendency to give into peer pressure, and the word of god (this is also my opinion, so...)
Lewis
Daniel (hipgate.)
Valtteri (bottass calendar 2023)
Fernando (this man is at the CLUB)
Max (he’s stacked, plus Kelly’s influence)
Yuki (documented ass-shaker)
Checo (you can’t tell me he didn’t twerk after his Monaco win)
Lando (EDM girlie)
George (treadmill vid + clubbing footage)
Charles (vulnerable to peer pressure)
Pierre (THE instigator, also known party boy)
Alex (Lily would need to hype him up severely)
Logan (if he got white-girl-wasted…)
Lance (with his friends, maybe)
Carlos (that arch pic from Don’t Blink)
Zhou (prema nae nae vid + braids incident)
Kmag (ik we’ve all seen the ice bath video)
Oscar (BUNDA LAWD but he isn’t twerking sorry)
Esteban (he may shake it but does anyone want that?)
Hulk (in no universe would this ever happen.)
shoutout to @racecrafting who spent an hour making this on discord with me <3

Love Lewis a lot but he’s ironically hilarious sometimes, like him saying he doesn’t remember winning cracks me up
i’ve never read anything funnier than:
“Honestly,” he continues, “I’ve manifested everything I’ve ever wanted to do. I do it every year. Working with Tommy. Winning a world championship. Breaking records. And so I’ve had some other plans for the future.”
Did you manifest the Ferrari move? I ask.
“Yeah,” he says. “I think perhaps more unconscious manifesting from the early period of my life. But it’s always been up there for me. For now, though, I’m gonna lift Mercedes as high as I can this year.”

lando lives rent free in so many people's heads in this fandom that i'm honestly embarrassed for them. like i'm not even particularly a fan of his, i like him well okay but he's not one of my faves, but he really isn't any better or worse than any other driver. it's like they've built up this mythical version of him in their minds where he is this awful person/terrible teammate/overrated driver or whatever and every time he proves them wrong their parasocial hatred of him grows and it's become this endess cycle. as someone who's kinda neutral on him it's a fascinating phenomenon to watch. like seriously people go outside and get some air and concentrate on just supporting the drivers you like.
'Concentrate on supporting drivers you like' Yes exactly well said anon!
Like understood cause I'm a Ferrari fan (sufferer) more than a McLaren girlie but the lando hate is so outta nowhere (he's about the same like you said, and even ranked higher with principles ranking than hamilton/leclerc 👀 and drivers ranking over both Ferrari's 👀👀(😭)) plus he has done basically nothing besides be silly and goofy, oscar/danny/ carlos have said nothing against him as a teammate to my knowledge
He lives so rent free, he may own the land 😂, he could charge the haters rent and make bank 😌

It may have been a controversial race due to how Max won his first title, but it was truly an unforgettable one, even to this day. Who do you believe deserved the title?

Hi! I was curious how the rest of the world see Checo? I’m from Mexico so everyone here is (extremely) biased.
I really can't tell you how everyone else feels.
But I actually like Checo, he's a much better driver than anyone gives him credit for, an unfortunate side effect of being constantly compared to Max. Checo isn't bad, Max is just that good.
A lot of people forget that the RB19 and RB20 are actually really difficult cars to drive(again Max makes it look easy) the fact that Checo is keeping up does speak to his skill. He has mistakes but that's everyone I think.
But I think he's a really good teammate for Max and a solid driver all around. Obviously his Bahrain 2020 drive is one of my favorites in recent memory.
Most people I know like Checo, or are pretty neutral on him overall.
I would assume some of the hate he gets is a result of people not liking Red Bull dominance.
Anyway, I like him and think he's pretty solid as a driver. I think RB should keep him with Max because they are a good teammate lineup.

I saw someone (perhaps even you) saying the other day how the culture of the grid has changed over the last decade or two, and how drivers actually seem to be friends now outside of just racing. I've only really paid any attention to f1 since covid, and even then only half-heatedly until a couple of months ago, so I don't know enough to know if that's true or not. I did watch a tiny bit of f1 in the early 2000s as a kid and I don't remember there being any sign of drivers being friends, but I really couldn't say for sure.
So, as someone who's being actively following f1 for years now, has there been an actuarial shift in the grid culture, or does it just sort of seem that way because of the marketing stuff drivers are doing more of now? And if there has been change, any ideas why?
Hi anon!
I think @valyrfia and/or @tsarinablogs have talked about the shift in the grid culture; I don't recall ever really talking about it myself. (And girls, please correct me if my memory is absolutely wrong on this so I can ammend this.) But, there is no doubt that there has been a shift in the grid culture over the years.
Now, it is worth mentioning that when I started watching F1 in the early 2000's, social media was not what it is today. So you didn't really get any sort of insight into the lives of F1 drivers outside of race weekends, and the coverage of their lives in the general media was pretty non-existent unless somebody was involved in some sort of scandal. So this is a factor worth keeping in mind, as whether the shift we have seen in the grid culture is as actual as it appears, or if it's mostly due to how different social media was back then and how you really didn't get an insight into the drivers' lives outside of F1.
But, the entire vibe between the drivers was different back then, and based on what you did get to see before and after races, in press conferences, interviews, etc., you definitely didn't get the same vibe that you'll get now, with many of the drivers actively name-dropping each other and clearly indicating that they share genuine friendships outside of F1 where they'll spend quite a bit of time together outside of F1 weekends. There were of course exceptions, as there is with everything, where some of the drivers clearly were close friends outside of work (Rosberg/Hamilton before that whole friendship went to shit, Button/Coulthard, Webber/Alonso, Schumacher/Alesi, Räikkönen/Vettel, to name a few). But on a general basis, the vibe was quite different because there seemed to be a much clearer line between work and private life that wasn’t crossed all that often.
I personally think the main cause behind the shift, regardless of how much of it is actual and not just related to how we didn't really have a way to follow the drivers' lives outside of race weekends in the 2000's, is a generational thing.
The grid started becoming increasingly younger in the 2010's, with a lot of the current drivers having known each other for years prior to meeting again in F1, and the lines between work and private life are far more blurred with this younger generation of drivers. They're part of the generation that get married and have kids at far higher ages than the generation before them — if at all — and that of course plays a huge role. Only three drivers on the current grid have kids (Kevin, Nico, Checo), and they're all part of the older generation. When you don't have kids, you have more freedom outside of race weekends, which I definitely think plays a part in drivers spending time together outside of race weekends more often now than what was commom 15-20 years ago.
But yeah, like I said, it's impossible to know just how much of this shift is actual, and how much is just due to how we couldn't really follow the lives of the drivers outside of race weekends before the age of social media. However, there is no denying there has been some sort of shift there, which I think is mostly caused by the generational changes within F1 over the past 10 years or so.

I don't understand why you like Logan Sargeant when you're aggressively left wing? Guy is a Trump supporter.
no he isn't? literally what you're basing this off is he has a shitty relative who is nothing to do with his career and no evidence suggests he's even in touch with.
Logan struggled for funding throughout his junior career, it's why he had to do the extra year in F3. that's not coming from his billionaire uncle, who clearly isn't helping him.
his entire political indication is liking Joe Biden tweets about sports so I think it's fair to say he's not wildly Trumpist. he's just a Ken from Florida who likes driving fast and hanging with his besties let the man live.
(also his trainer, Ben Jacobs, posts quite a lot of pro-LGBTQ+ stuff even though as far as I know he's straight - he's an ex rugby player turned driver trainer and seems to be a very kind man, used to be Alex Lynn's trainer and if that's who Logan surrounds himself with for his care then I don't think he's Santino Ferrucci; there are a lot of cunts in motorsport, you don't have to make them up)
loving swamp son is not a bit. i will aggressively defend him against all Logan haters man is driving an inhumanly terrible car, being made in a factory so far behind the FIA are going to let Williams breach the cost cap to upgrade it and staying cheerful while he's trying to live up to Alex. he's as good as Oscar, they were rivals in junior series, he just needs a chance.

did you see all of Max's discussion of Charles in the press recently? lmao he's really the #1 leader of the lecfosi whenever I think lestappen is just pr fabrication he opens his mouth and I'm back to being convinced
i’m gonna be dead honest i think that fandom/ship narratives tend to make it seem like charles is constantly at the forefront of max’s mind above everything else, when really it’s racing.
people forget that one of the key aspects of max is his brutal honesty. if he wanted to compliment charles to the media he’d… compliment him. he’s done it before. the statement that’s been circulating since yesterday, about him saying that he’s going to watch for the ferrari driver who’s most consistent isn’t an elaborate way of saying that he rates charles over carlos or anything like that. that’s just genuinely what he means.
and again, if he wanted to talk shit he would just do it. max isn't a vague commenter and he doesn’t say cryptic things to the press, that just isn’t who he is. it’s a little annoying that a clearly objective, fact-based statement from him is being conflated with charles tbh. they aren’t in a hardcore title fight atm, red bull is still on top, and charles’ biggest focus currently is his teammate.

I cannot believe that last year everyone was saying Charles was dumb for staying with Ferrari instead of leaving, and now, a year latter, AM and merc seem like a huge downgrade from ferrari. Oh sweet vindication
it’s not too late for charles to sign for red bull in the summer after lewis announces his retirement after he stumbles upon max at a hole in the wall bar and then he goes to max’s birthday party and then they go to a charity event together and then they finish p4 and p5 in brazil and then charles blows max in his driver room and they start a weird relationship and things fall apart once they become teammates in 2025 and max keeps winning then charles breaks up with him and then takes the lead of the championship and

Hey how are you? Has there been any update on when the viaplay documentary is being released?
Hi anon. Nope, sorry, afaik there's no new date for Off The Beaten Track yet :( Nothing's been reported about it on Dutch F1 sites either. At this point I'll be glad if it's released at all.

10 years ago, we have learned about Michael Schumacher's life altering skiing accident. Ever since then, he disappeared from the public eye, and the entire F1 world was changed. 10 years later, we had next to no updates on his state, but his brother Ralf publicly stated how "he isn't the same Michael we all knew". What are your favorite moments of his career? Do you think his championship title record will remain untouched and stay equal to Hamilton's championship title count? Keep fighting, Michael!
