Hi Folks, I’m Tia - I’m new to Mastadon so here goes! I’m a SNR TPM at Microsoft working in Identity. I’ve lived in the UK and the US and spend the majority of my time baking, cooking, exploring the outdoors or watching Football (both kinds) and Formula 1.

As tomorrow is the final race of the season and the last race for Seb Vettel, and (maybe) the last race for Daniel Ricciardo, I fully anticipate I’ll be an emotional wreck!

Nonetheless, it’s lovely to meet you all!

@Tia very sad Seb is out. I do wonder if he will be back for 2024.
@leo_messkee I wondered the same thing - or perhaps a return with Team Audi?
@Tia that would be interesting. I think most teams would welcome Seb. Maybe back to replace Alonso
@leo_messkee Aston Martin didn’t feel like a good fit for him in the last year - I’d like to see him somewhere genuinely competitive rather than a middle of the road team.
@Tia I agree. I just don’t see any of the top three teams giving him a spot.
@leo_messkee That’s a really good point - we can only hope for more Seb in the future!
@Tia hopefully so. McLaren and Alpine are the closest to the top 3. Aston was supposed to be up there. I really think Alonso will burn all the bridges and Seb can come back.
@leo_messkee Definitely going to be fireworks next year… Ocon and Gasly, and Stroll and Alonso… really not sure how those team dynamics are going to work
@Tia not to mention Hulk and KMag.
@leo_messkee oh yeah! Let’s hope we’re a long way past their 2017 relationship!
@Tia either way will be fun. Those two plus Guenther
