« In all its ugliness, Fox News is not, as Michael Wolff would have it, Roger Ailes' runaway distortion of what his boss ordered up. It is Rupert Murdoch's very own Dorian Gray portrait. And Donald Trump, on the rise once again, is Murdoch's Frankenstein monster. »

“I could call up Arianna and confirm the best story I know about these dinner parties. But I don’t want it not to be true. I tell my children this story as an example of savvy and pluck. (I have heard it from three different people.)

Arianna set about having dinner parties, inviting the most prestigious New Yorkers who would come and, at an appointed hour, she would deliver an impromptu toast, fifteen minutes or more of sweeping, seamless, knowing, witty observations, the likes of which no awkward table in New York had ever heard before. Grown men, those attracted to ambitious women anyway, swooned. When, ultimately, it got out that these toasts were written and rehearsed, that only added to the allure. Indeed, this is what I tell my children: it’s not the effortlessness but the effort that goes into making it effortless. In praise of artifice, if you will.”

Here they are. The full collection. The F1 Major Arcana.

What a journey. What started as an assigned to do 10 cards turned begrudgingly into 22 and I couldn’t be more grateful. I learned A LOT. Came up with a lot of tips and tricks. And I’m proud. I may not feel it yet, I may not feel the need to celebrate but I’m satisfied.

There were a lot of weird coincidences that happened with this project that I’m just going to say was the universe. And a lot of unexpected love too. I’ve never really used Tumblr or involved myself in fandom because I believed I had nothing to offer and was always ignored but damn. The amount of love I’ve received is ridiculous and none of you who reblogged, liked or commented will ever know how much it meant to me and kept me going.

Thank you <3

History Made | Michael Schumacher daughter fic

The Hockenheimring circuit in Germany was alive with the symphony of roaring engines, and at its center stood Lena Schumacher, the daughter of the legendary Michael Schumacher, on the verge of making history. The German Grand Prix wasn’t merely a race; it was a homecoming for Lena, carrying the weight of expectations as she aimed to redefine the narrative in her rookie season with Mercedes.

In the Mercedes garage, the air hummed with anticipation. Lena navigated the iconic track with finesse, finding herself at the forefront of the race. Unbeknownst to her, Michael Schumacher, her father, made his first public outing since his accident, orchestrating a surprise visit to witness this pivotal moment. Mick Schumacher, her brother and reserve driver for the team, observed with a mix of pride and sibling camaraderie.

As the final laps unfolded, Lena maintained her lead, the Mercedes team holding their collective breath. In a historic moment, Lena Schumacher crossed the finish line, becoming the first woman in history to win a Formula 1 Grand Prix.

As the checkered flag waved at Hockenheim, the Mercedes garage erupted in cheers and jubilation. Over the radio, Lena Schumacher's race engineer conveyed the historic news.

"Congratulations, Lena! You've just made history! You're the first woman to win a Formula 1 Grand Prix!"

"Wait, what? Did you say… history? Oh my... I... I can't believe it!" Lena said, her voice slightly cracking with emotion.

Amidst the roar of the engines and the celebration in the garage, Lena's voice over the radio reflected a mix of disbelief and overwhelming joy. The realization of her achievement, the weight of making history, echoed through the airwaves.

“You did it, Lena! Enjoy the moment, you've earned it!” said Toto Wolff, so proud of his driver.

"Thank you, thank you so much. This is... this is incredible. I couldn't have done it without the team and everyone's support. Wow." said Lena, her voice getting steadier.

The radio communication captured a poignant moment in Lena's journey, the raw emotion of achieving something extraordinary evident in her voice. The message of breaking barriers and making history reverberated not only within the Mercedes team but also through the hearts of fans worldwide.

Unseen by Lena, Michael Schumacher emerged, his presence a surprise for his daughter. Mick, among the first to congratulate her, shared a smile that spoke of both sibling rivalry and familial pride.

Lena brought her victorious Mercedes to a stop, the cheers and applause echoing through the air. As she stepped out of her car, she was greeted by the presence of her father, now using a wheelchair due to the lasting effects of his accident. Corinna, her mom, and Gina, Lena's sister, were also there with Mick, forming a family circle.

"You did it, Lena. The first woman to win a Grand Prix. I couldn't be prouder," Michael said, his eyes reflecting the joy only a father could feel.

As the Mercedes team joined the celebration, Lewis Hamilton, Lena's teammate, approached with a wide grin. "Congratulations, Lena. You've made history today!"

The emotional reunion and the historic victory became the focal point of the post-race celebrations. Lena, still absorbing the magnitude of her achievement, stood atop the podium. The German and Mercedes flags waved proudly. The national anthem played, marking not just a victory but a symbolic triumph for diversity and inclusion in Formula 1.

In an extraordinary 1-2 finish for Mercedes, Lewis Hamilton secured the second position. The podium celebration was a testament to the team's dominance and the groundbreaking achievements of Lena Schumacher.

Hamilton hails four-time champion Vettel as 'an amazing option' for Mercedes in 2025

Lewis Hamilton has given his backing to Sebastian Vettel as he fielded questions over who could replace him at Mercedes for the 2025 season, saying he would "love" to see the German make a Formula 1 comeback.

Vettel called time on his illustrious F1 career at the end of 2022, having made almost 300 starts and racked up four world titles, 53 wins, 122 podiums, 57 pole positions and more than 3,000 points.; however, following on from a recent endurance test with Porsche, the 36-year-old has admitted that a return to the sport could be "appealing," having also held general talks with Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff. Wolff is searching for another driver to slot in alongside George Russell from next year, with seven-time world champion Hamilton having deciding to make the switch to Ferrari, where he will replace Carlos Sainz. With the likes of Kimi Raikkonen, Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso all returning to the sport after sabbaticals, Hamilton was asked about F1's everlasting appeal and the chances of Vettel doing the same. "You're always going to miss it," said Hamilton. "It's the greatest sport in the world and it's the greatest experience in the world. It's the most amazing feeling to be working with a group of people towards winning something, achieving something. Probably there's nothing that's going to ever feel the same. I've not asked any of the drivers what they're missing, but I can just imagine. But I would love for Seb to come back. I think he would be an amazing option for the team, to have a multi-world championship-winning driver, someone who's got amazing values to continue to take this team forwards… I would love it if he came back." Hamilton was then asked how much thought he is giving to the driver who will replace him and whether it should be an experienced pair of hands such as Vettel, or potentially a newcomer such as Mercedes junior Andrea Kimi Anontelli, to which he also implied support for the latter. "I think the only thing I really care about is that the team takes on someone with integrity and values that are aligned with the team, where the team is going," he said. "Someone with compassion that's able to work with all these great people, continue to lift them up. As drivers there are some that are more selfish than others. There are some that are good drivers but perhaps not the best within team environments. I don't know, because I've not been in with all of them. They've already got George and he's perfect for the team. I'm sure they've got so many options. I do think it's always great to give an opportunity to an up-and-coming driver, so the idea of a youngster coming in I think, for me, is exciting."

Wolff hugs his replacement drive "Schumi is immediately in the car when something happens".

Since big money and social media took over the secret command in the GP circus, team bosses also became restless. Their choice of words has changed before the respect of the big sponsors. Today, these species with a clear opinion are almost extinct in the paddock. The exceptions: Franz Tost at Alpha Tauri, Otmar Szafenauer at Alpine, Günther Steiner at Haas and Toto Wolff at Mercedes. Anyone who asks clear questions always gets a usable answer.

As in Melbourne from the Viennese Toto Wolff (51). In the case of his eternal "pit shadow" Mick Schumacher (24), Wolff makes it clear: "If one of our drivers gets covid or injured, Mick is in the Mercedes! Period, end of discussion!" Schumi junior has never sat in a Mercedes. Wolff: "We'll try to provide an old car for him as soon as possible."

When Hamilton was out in 2020 because of Corona, Mercedes brought Russell from Williams for one race (Bahrain), abandoning its own reserve drivers (de Vries, Vandoorne).

Wolff: "This time Mick would drive. I'm watching for the little guy. All I can say is that his parents did nothing wrong in their upbringing. And I maintain that if Michael had accompanied his son during the two Haas years, Steiner wouldn't have dared to handle Mick like that!"
