Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
These are the 296 GTS Carlos and Charles will be driving in Miami. As mentioned in the precious videos, Charles will drive the Azzurro La Plata and Carlos will be driving Azzurro Dino.
Wait, wait, wait, hold on. Did I miss something? They gonna drive them when? Some kind of a drivers parad or what?
My first thought was that these will be the cars they drive to and from the track every day. Like last year Charles drove a silver Ferrari and Lando captured this lovely video of him on the way to the track:
🎥 f1vero
But it really makes more sense that they would use them for the Drivers' Parade, because they've had some pretty cool Ferraris in Miami in the past. Here is Charles at the 2022 Miami GP in a Ferrari Monza GP2:

And last year Carlos had to join Charles in his Ferrari 348, because there was something wrong with Carlos's car:

In case anyone missed it, here is the video where they talk about Charles and Carlos driving the blue 296 GTS's in Miami:
If you are white, and near poc, and you see police near your parade/march/event, do not start chanting shit like "FUCK THE COPS!"
You are putting us in danger when you deliberately rile up police near POC.
It doesn't matter if we aren't the ones chanting it, there's a good chance police WILL think we are a part of your group if you are near us.
Protecting and being allies to people of colour is more than just saying "poc trans lives matter" and calling out people for using racial slurs.
You have to be aware of our presence, and how you act in our presence, and how you can contribute to violence against us without even meaning to. You have to match your politics with your actions.
Don't put POC in danger just because you want to make a statement.
I know everyone feels for George but I want to point out that as soon as the crash happened, double yellow flags were issued.
as stated by FIA, double yellow flags mean "a driver must be ready to change direction or come to a stop as there is a hazard partially or completely blocking the track". aka exactly the response that happened, since it's used for crashes (that's even how RedBull defines it: "usually used when a serious accident has occurred and the track is partially or completely blocked").
on the digital signs, even before Stroll's engineer warned him:
and by marshals:
why was George screaming red flag? bc it's a quick way of portraying something serious happened, screaming "double yellow flags" is a mouthful and not as efficient, even if the drivers themselves know what the flags mean. he also got scared bc the VSC took 10+ seconds and he didn't know who was coming behind, but Stroll got the flags and by the time Yuki passed VSC was on.
it was very much a scary accident!!! but it did not become a tragedy since all warnings were given: George to his team, Aston to Stroll, digital double yellows and marshals flags, then VSC.
I do agree there's a discussion to have abt how quick the VSC was issued, but I'm inclined to believed the marshals and digital signs are FIA's way of dealing with that.
An open letter, to everyone from this afternoon's meeting:
Christ a-fuckin-live, yes, I do think all these redundancies are really necessary! It's not even that many redundancies, are you fucking joking, I'm not asking for a full and proper PACE plan (yet! not yet but oh you best bet it's coming, you idiot bitches give me a contingency inch and I will take a save-your-ass mile) it is literally training one extra person for each task. One! Do you know how close to the bone we are already running. Do you know the cold sweat that haunts me. One single solitary contingency! I am here begging bare-bellied for the meanest of scraps and you're interrupting me. You are swinging over the gaping abyss of absolute moronity and as I hand-tie the slimmest of career safety nets beneath you, you argue with me!
Every month we voluntarily take our entire system down and hard reset it, because the tooth-grinding inconvenience of a controlled descent is better than the comminuted fractures of a natural crash, but if you would rather the broken bones, that can certainly be arranged. Every day someone asks me to hunt down direly-needed information, and I burrow weasel-like through digital snowbanks until I find the problems and crack their spines between my teeth. Would you like to see how I do it. I have built checks for unreturnable queries into my daily routine, do you think that is a standard practice? It would literally be easier for me to let them break and frame a different one of you for each failure than to continue maintaining them all. If you really want to know about most efficient use of time, I will show you the math. It will look very like the forked end of a crowbar, and I will gladly give you a thorough breakdown! That said,
