My first article for Feeder Series! Give it a look :)

[Feeder Series @feeder_series]

The F1 Academy weekend format is set for a shake-up, as the amount of races will be reduced from three to two.

Feeder Series tells you all you need to know about the change in the all-female F4 championship, which joins the F1 support bill this year.

Feel terrible for Legge - she did nothing wrong and will still face blame because women's existence in motorsport is infinitely politicized.

[calla kra-caskey @walkeditoff]

@R0thmansEra @shanethecnfsr I think it's a leap to assume Pin would've gone from a single year of WEC LMP2 in 23 to a Hypercar program in 24 (she was initially going to drive in the Dames' GT3 car, which switched from Lambo to Porsche the next year). And Lambo stopped their Hypercar program after 24 anyway

[calla kra-caskey @walkeditoff]

@shanethecnfsr With who? Before Mercedes, she was with the Iron Dames (and Prema) in LMP2 and GT3. The Iron Dames don't exist as a racing team anymore. Meanwhile, since winning F1A she's also joined Peugeot as a dev driver, which brings her closer to hypercars than the Iron Dames did!

It's hard to make it anywhere in single seaters if you don't have piles of money. But when you compare to how Mercedes has supported Doriane Pin...

[calla kra-caskey @walkeditoff]

Listening to the California primary debate. Katie Porter just said that the last show she watched was Heated Rivalry.

[calla kra-caskey @walkeditoff]

A lot of athletes and their PR teams could learn from how Zohran Mamdani handles any ‘controversial’ question that isn’t about his policy goals.

[calla kra-caskey @walkeditoff]

@everyoneontrack This was absolutely wildly inappropriate, and I agree with everything you’re saying.

But I just want to put it out there that many journalists don’t write their own headlines, editors or publishers do.

Regardless, sensitivity should be factored in above search optimization.

@Motorsport May he rest in peace

[Motorsport @Motorsport]

Sad news from Nurburgring.

Juha Miettinen has died following a multi-car crash in the ADAC 24h Nurburgring Qualifiers. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

[calla kra-caskey @walkeditoff]

What’s funny is the celebrity-fication of F1 drivers through DTS, etc., actually means the GPDA has IMMENSE power… if they weren’t afraid of striking.

Not that it will come to that, but like, they don’t actually have to take any decisions the TPs/FIA/FOM make sitting down.

[Thomas Maher @thomasmaheronf1]

A positive meeting between the #F1 drivers with the FIA is said to have resulted in agreement, in principle, on rules tweaks.

However, this doesn’t mean change is guaranteed: the GPDA does not have a voice in governance.

It’s said that there is considerable interest in seeing what direction the team leaders vote at Monday's meeting, as there is an expectation that “common sense” will prevail for the benefit of the sport as a whole.

@CoupeDesJeunes Was being conservative.

Don’t really see him skipping a level… should we compromise on 4?

[calla kra-caskey @walkeditoff]

If no one has told you yet, we’ll be seeing Dries Van Langendonck in F1 in 5 ish years.

[Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team @MercedesAMGF1]

What a day. Doriane's first F1 test, complete ✅

[P1n Au Chocolat 🥖🇫🇷 🏆 @PinAuChocolate]

“she’s wasting her career by leaving sportscars, she’ll never recover”

did the doubters of the time ever consider…
❌ she don’t care
❌ she’s even better than when she left off
❌ she’s her
❌ good things happen to those who wait

overwhelmingly voted driver of the race too

[calla kra-caskey @walkeditoff]

… Kimi wasn’t riding

[calla kra-caskey @walkeditoff]

That "and beyond" has me hoping F1 Academy will bring back a full schedule of 3 races per round next year...

[F1 Academy @f1academy]

Introducing a three-race weekend format in 2026 and beyond — debuting in Montreal and returning in Austin. 🗓️

This brings the 2026 calendar back to 14 races following confirmation that the #SaudiArabianGP will no longer take place in April.

My family got a shirt with this print on it and I'm OBSESSED

@RobrtW2 @autosport “Stupid grin” and “laughing” are in fact different things.
