@jollysea "To be a have-not and be talked to by the haves has an air of the farcical to it." Powerful stuff.
That's a fascinating article and it's clear why we're not supposed to read it!
"What I received wasn't a crash course in Formula 1—in fact, Formula 1 only became more mystifying to me—but journalism, as viewed by the other side."

F1レースに批判的記事が有名自動車雑誌サイトから消滅
A socialist writer skewered the Formula One scene. Then her article vanished. (Washington Post)
米国Road & Track誌のウェブサイトに掲載された記事が、1時間後に何の説明もなく削除された。削除された記事は、The Nationなどに寄稿するを建築批評家でフリー・ライターのケイト・ワグナー(Kate Wagner)さんが寄稿した。昨年テキサス州オースティンで開催されたF1レースをレポートした5000語の大作。何か月もかけて制作された有名雑誌の記事が、理由の説明もなく素早く撤回されることは前代未聞だ。だが、WP紙の取材に対し、ワグナーさんもRoad & Track誌もノーコメントを通している。匿名の関係者によれば、「雑誌の編集方針と合わない」として、編集長の判断で引っ込められたという。
ワグナーさんの記事は、R&T誌の広告主である自動車関連業界に依存する通常の記事と毛色が違っていた。F1レースとそれを取り囲む過美な世界、彼女を招待したレーススポンサーである石油製品会社INEOSに対する批判も含んでいた。出版業界の厳しい状況下、広告主や誌面に登場する有名人のご機嫌を損なっては生き残れないご時世に、この記事は稀有だ。INEOS広報は記事が公開されたことすら知らなかったというが…

＊WP紙はワグナーさんを社会主義者で左翼的ライターと紹介、それを本人がBlueSkyのプロフィールで皮肉っている。

* Cries in #KateWagner *
"I saw $30,000 Birkin bags and $10,000 Off-White Nikes. I saw people with the kind of Rolexes that make strangers cry on Antiques Roadshow. I saw Ozempic-riddled influencers and fleshy, T-shirt-clad tech bros and people who still talked with Great Gatsby accents as they sweated profusely in Yves Saint Laurent under the unforgiving Texas sun."
Full Disclosure: It took me a while to parse 'HN' to be 'Hacker News'.
A few days ago, an article about Formula 1 by cycling journalist Kate Wagner was published on Road & Track's website. Its focus was the power dynamics of F1, and the enormous amount of money flowing at races, and it was a phenomenal bit of writing. Hours later, it was scrubbed without trace from the website, though the archived version remains. It's linked in this story from Defector, where journalist Patrick Redford tries to figure out exactly what went down.
This past Friday, right before the start of the 2024 Formula 1 season, Road & Track published a first-person dispatch from architecture critic and sportswriter Kate Wagner, who attended the United States Grand Prix in Austin last October. As Wagner wrote in the piece, Road & Track “forwarded me the opportunity on behalf of” the […]

A friend sent me a link to an article about Formula 1. “Not sure how this reads to fans of F1, but I thought this was just an exquisite essay,” they wrote and shared a link to an article published by Road & Track magazine. Except the link didn’t go
