The amount of notes that this post gets by the end of April is the amount of words I'll write for one of my books.

RED IS DEAD (Renault ad about Ferrari)

Revisting iconic moments in (loving memory of) RenaultF1 history 1/?

"The Renault 'Red Is Dead' ad campaign is a funny gibe at Ferrari's signature color. It celebrates beating Ferrari two years in a row at Formula One. [...] The Renault Red Is Dead ad campaign reminds people that Renault is also a leading brand in Formula One by turning iconic red items such as ketchup, lipstick and the British phone booth yellow." November, 2012.

What is your opinion about Xavi? I'm still stuck in Bahrain this year when, in my opinion, he was a calming and supportive presence for Charles during that race with the brakes screwed up. But I see complaints quite often about him.

Xavi gets a lot of hate because he’s often the voice for a lot of questionable Ferrari strat decisions (like Monaco 2022….shudders). But remember that it’s been said that in mid-2022 when Charles was getting fucked over for the WDC by his own team, Xavi was the only one he trusted.

Xavi isn’t as “personable” from a PR perspective as some of the other race engineers to top drivers, he doesn’t bicker like GP with Max, isn’t talking about bets like Lando with Will Joseph. But Xavi isn’t there to run PR, he’s there to ensure that Charles and the pitwall are communicating and I think he does that very well. His tone is always clear and calm, and even though the “question.” or “we are checking” has become a meme it’s an excellent way to be spoken to over patchy radio when you’re speeding around a circuit at 300km/h. Xavi has become an easy target for people on the internet to joke about (I also think there’s a slightly disturbing element of him not having a British accent in there as well) but I think he’s one of the best race engineers. He’s calm and encouraging with Charles, is quiet when Charles needs him to be, and ensures there’s absolutely no way for him to be misunderstood.

Also, we don’t know what happens at the pitwall. My guess is that Xavi advocates quite well for Charles and his strategies—remember that Ferrari didn’t really want him on a Suzuka one stop to begin with.

If a man is treating you like he hates you it’s because he does. There is no deeper meaning and even if there were it’s not your job to investigate it 🩷

A woman went viral for being turned down for a next interview for a role, she asks the recruiter what she did wrong, the recruiter tells her they were “concerned about her lack of effort in her appearance.”

She explains she wore a freshly ironed blazer with a collared top. Her nails were painted a professional beige. She got a blowout for her hair, so a professional style. She had on subdued gold earrings.

The only thing she wasn’t wearing was makeup; she states she really doesn’t wear makeup, and only had chapstick on, as her skin is sensitive. Her lawyer mother has already explained she has no legal case against the company for any type of gender-based discrimination.

Just in case anyone wants to ask why feminists still refer to the “pink tax” or rail against more and more elaborate makeup trends being pushed on girls and women.

Women being punished socially for not wearing makeup is still a feminist issue.
