While people are complaining about F1 “tiring” the drivers out by “forcing” them to stand on stage for an hour at 8 PM EST, throw hats and say their government names, please know that there are actually real issues surrounding the Miami Grand Prix that don’t have to do with the fake marina or the inconsequential beach area lol?
Here is a good thread on the racism embedded in the Miami GP. They originally wanted to hold it along Biscayne Bay but that was immediately axed by the rich (white) citizens as it would be held on public property. Instead, it was moved to Miami Gardens without the consent of the neighborhood as it is private property and one of the organizers of the GP also owns Hard Rock Stadium. As the thread says, most of the tourism money being made from the GP will not go to the black people whose community is being upended for the weekend but rather towards richer, whiter areas like South Beach, Brickell, Downtown, etc.
so proud of him. watching him throughout the season, through the wins, the losses, the growth, the emotions - very special. i’ll never forget the season you gave us, lando. your time is here and it’s absolutely amazing to be here with you 🧡
This is important and I need to know. Who is your siblings favourite driver? (FE/F1, any series really)

i know a lot of people came to f1 late and maybe aren't quite sure about what makes lewis so great, like outside of the statistics. racing book recs are about bygone eras while the netflix show often places itself way outside of the historical context of the sport (there was a championship battle in 2018?) r/f1 used to have an editorial team in 2020 that used to do session summaries and deep dives – one of the members also compiled an ebook recapping of all of Lewis' 92 wins when he broke that record. it makes for very compelling reading! it's free to download.
