THREAD 🧵

On this International Women’s Day, I’d like to take this opportunity to talk to you about something.

I’ve discovered something incredible about Alba (Larsen)

At the age of 15, Alba set up Girls International Racing Lab, a community aimed at helping young girls rough this community, Alba organises events such as go-karting sessions, meet-ups….

By organising races, meet-ups and mentoring sessions with Alba and other role models, the initiative has already engaged over 400 girls and young women in Denmark alone & Alba’s goal for this year is to reach 15,000 girls around the world.

In 2025, Alba received the FIA Women in Motorsport Award, as they recognised the impact G.I.R.L. was already having and the pathway it was starting to open up for young girls looking at racing for the first time

It wasn’t even a joke 😭😭😭

#F1 #LasVegasGP 🇺🇸

Team kit fit for a night race, revealing our Las Vegas kit 🖤💛

Starting fourteenth, finished eighth.
We have a lot of work to do in these conditions as it was another tough wet race. Lots of learnings though which I hope will help us do a step forward.
Shame for the penalty at the end, I enjoyed the fight.

Stewards' decision clearly defines the key aspect of penalty: Car 16 gained an obvious sporting consequence

Facts: Car 16 had no obvious sporting consequence, overtake in T3 was result of switchback manoeuvre by Car 16 in T1-2 sequence

Verdict on Stewards' work:

Into T1, Lap 70, car 16 had no advantage over Car 30, the gap was the same as it was in T12, Lap 69

The racing in T1-2-3 had no cause in the contact in T12 lap before, as both cars lost exact same time

When you compare telemetries between two cars, you notice the time lost on lap 69 compared to lap 68 is exactly the same for both cars: 0.8s

The effect of having no tow is very clear for Car 16 on lap 69, as is the effect of worse initial acceleration on Car 30

Net effect: none

The reason is simple: Stewards are mixing up apples and oranges and omitting crucial information

Car 16 pulled up alongside Car 30 in the run up to T14 on initial acceleration. This is not where the overtake happened. Car 30 pulled ahead in the run up to T1, as Car 16 had no tow

First thing is an admission "Car 16 (able) to get closer on track and then eventually overtake 5 corners later"

NOTE: 5 corners later (it was 6 corners actualy)

Stewards also said "Car 16 pulled up alongside when it was further away before the contact"

As is the custom among incompetent FIA Stewards, we had another blunder in wheel-to-wheel racing penalty call

This one is for the records, to be remembered for the full incompetence and lack of any understanding of racing, vehicle dynamics and non-biased views

🏎️💨💨💨💨

Fred Vasseur : « It was probably a matter of tyre pressures. As with every decision, there are positives and negatives: it worked very well at the start, but a little less so in the middle of the stint. But you can’t have a first lap like that and then not pay the price for it. the tyres throughout the race. We were missing something, things didn’t go exactly as we wanted, and we can certainly do better.

Charles was struggling at the start, then he was very fast during the middle stint, and once again towards the end of the race he was catching up. There were some ups and downs for both drivers. We were far too inconsistent throughout the race. I have to say that whenever we lacked pace, it was more a matter of mistakes because the car was very difficult to drive. The fluctuations in performance stemmed from that.

It’s also true that Charles was very fast towards the end of his stint on the old Softs. We now know why, but it’s a real shame because the potential is probably there. However, it was difficult for us to put everything together throughout the race.

Las Vegas? It will be extreme in terms of conditions, as usual, because temperatures will be around five degrees Celsius, which means we'll be facing the opposite situation to what we've experienced throughout the season. Throughout the championship, we've been trying to cool the tyres down, whereas there we'll have to warm them up, so we'll be dealing with the complete opposite situation all the time. »

Nothing here btw 😂👍

🔴 OFFICIAL: 5 SEC PENALTY FOR CHARLES. SO P8 FOR CHARLES.

AS ALWAYS, A JOKE 😂😂

#F1 #BrazilGP 🇧🇷

A little recap of Charles’ race. His overtake on Gasly on softs, with the track still wet, is just incredible.

#F1 #BrazilGP 🇧🇷

The entire battle from Charles’ onboard.

This is just so fucking beautiful. His intelligence through turns 1, 2 and 3. WOW.

#F1 #BrazilGP 🇧🇷

The move that saved Charles’ race.

While the team tells him to box for softs, despite him having excellent pace on his used softs, he refuses and stays out. One lap later, Ferrari realises its mistake and decides to keep him out.

#F1 #BrazilGP 🇧🇷

His reaction when he finds out he’s under investigation 😭
