He’s got a real take it or leave it junior CV. Underdelivered a bit in F4 Dominated a weak grid in FR 2 4th places in F3, the first being behind his teammates in a very good car, the second being the best in a decent car Standard first season in F2, ups and downs came 9th, then
🚨 Frederik Vesti has emerged as a contender for a Cadillac F1 seat in 2027! The Mercedes reserve driver is reportedly on Cadillac’s radar as a potential replacement for Valtteri Bottas, alongside Colton Herta. Following his impressive P3 in Mexico FP1, Vesti confirmed discussions over an F1 seat: 🗣️ “There are discussions about a seat and I’ve got my eyes on that seat. I believe I would be very, very good in that car.” “I’m more motivated than ever, I’m extremely hungry to be on the grid.” 👀 The battle for Cadillac’s 2027 seat is heating up.

in 2023 he moves to Prema, best car, wins 6 races (4 sprints) and the only thing between him and the title was a bit of bad luck, and a bit of his own errors. Oh and he beat a rookie Ollie Bearman too! But 3rd in FP1, only a tenth off Antonelli, that’s exactly what he needed

Think it’s quite clear we need a clear up of the super license system. You know that’s needed when journalists and fans have a better idea of who’s on what points than the teams themselves 😭
Le débat Super Licence n'a pas fini de faire parler. Désormais, la FIA dit qu'il n'a que 39pts. Du mal à comprendre pourquoi, hormis s'il a pu faire mpins de 100km sur l'une des 5 FP1 qu'il a fait cette année car : 1+30+4 (Indy 2023 à 25) +5 (FP1)=40

People complaining about the Super Licence issue here like it isn’t Cadillac’s own responsibility to be able to count to 40. However, this would all be avoided if they simply valued IndyCar correctly, not at the same standard as FR
Confirmation from the FIA that Colton Herta doesn't have his Super License yet, and he needs another point There was an error on the IndyCar website at some point that put him in P6 in 2025 when he was actually P7. He has 39 SL points now after today's FP1 #F1 #MexicoGP

Nothing wrong with Lawson given as good as he gets from Verstappen but maybe to keep your seat you should have “open ze legs” as Nelson Piquet would say
That's one way of becoming a jobless F1 driver I guess

I don’t even mean to sound arrogant but this would never ever happen to me.
She was a millionaire at 16. Today she earns £12,000 a year as a carer Callie Rogers won £1.85 million in the UK lottery in 2003. She was working in a shop Within months she'd bought a house with her boyfriend, a house for her grandparents, cars, holidays and gifts for everyone she knew She lent £20,000 to one person and £13,000 to another. Never saw it again People took her bank card and used it for themselves. She says they still owe her about £200,000 "I was a soft touch. Now I realise what they were like." In the video below, she tells This Morning what the money actually did to her Should a 16-year-old even be allowed to win that much?

Been obvious for yeaaaaaaaars that he’s a total wrongen, both him and David Walliams, extremely strange and deeply perverted men. But that’s the broadcasting industry for you, the sleazier the more hireable apparently 🤷‍♂️🫠

How interesting, I know Alpine have done TPC’s for some random drivers before who’re happy to pay but didn’t expect Slater (affiliated to another academy) to get in there as well but it makes sense for him! Shocked he kept it out the press though
Replying to @_Dan_Castell
He tested with Alpine, I just heard this from someone inside Audi. They still don't have TPCs

Still blows my mind someone at Google would of came up with the idea of Google Maps / Google Earth Then suggested that they drive down every road on the planet and take pictures of it And then they actually went and did it

americans are so propagandized they believe your employer should fire you if you have cancer
European hiring rules are genuinely insane. For example - if you own a company in the Netherlands and one of your employees gets sick, you are required to pay at least 70% of their wages for up to 2 years. If they can't go back to work after 2 years and you haven't done enough for their reintegration, you pay their wages for 1 more year. And you can't fire them until after that extra year!

Has Freddie Slater ever driven an F1 car prior to his FP1 in Mexico? I can’t seem to find any evidence of him completing any TPC tests or filming days but it feels quite crazy to me that his first time ever won’t be on a cold morning at Silverstone, but instead on the world stage

Thank god they’re gone, the 2026 lineup was absolutely shocking. Fittipaldi and Shields have no place in F3 let alone F2. And the 1 time they had a real quality driver in Taylor Barnard they gave him a truly awful car to drive. Glad to see the back of them
F2 teams selected for the next 3 year cycle with @ln4fusion completing the lineup racing under an Italian flag. No AIX Racing in ‘27-‘29

¿Pero por qué razón alguien va a querer que Verstappen, Hamilton y Leclerc se abracen como los Teletubbies en la sala prepodio? Para ver eso me pongo la Casa de la Pradera, chata. Dame a Alonso llamando inútil a Massa en italiano o a Webber cantándole las cuarenta a Vettel.
F1 men are so corny bc they dont do shit like this

Harry Kane going from football’s most famous trophyless player to a Ballon d’Or winner might be the greatest example of why changing employers can improve your life.

Unironically even funnier and more incredibly dumb tweet when you notice that over the 20 corners they’re “faster” in exactly 20 each, so the tweet isn’t even correct 😭😭😭
