Bit of Day 1 plotting. Slow day due to real life.
Today's post should be more timely.

And the off-season look at Senna v Prost reaches 1985. Black and Gold Lotus, Prost destroying the field, and much more.

Their paths are converging but not yet completely entangled.

It is coming.

2nd part of the Prost-Senna off-season story time. This time, 1984 gets the entire post because the first season with both drivers in F1 had a lot going for it.

And the glut of drivers in the plots always makes me happy. So many names that became (in)famous.

First part of an off-season offering.

Senna-Prost, Prost-Senna, SPernonsat, PSreonsnta, however you want to make it.

Long read, obviously, and it is only Part 1.

Well, since I have a few paying subscribers to please, here is the first premium content of F1 IQ, even before the official start.

A three-part look at the story of Juan Manuel Fangio.

From the humble start in Argentina to the summit of motorsports, the Maestro's life story is a pilgrimage through the early days of F1 and the incredible courage, strength, and lack of fear needed to be a racing car driver in that era.

@rodrigodias tem que ter clicks para receber aquela graninha. E para poder tentar credenciamento com a FIA.

A vida de outlet online ficou complicada pacas agora.

Por essas e outras que só acompanho quem eu sei que vai lá apurar. Os agregadores eu prefiro passar longe. Mas dá mais trabalho e muita gente prefere seguir os "agregadores", que na minha época eram chamados de ladrões mesmo.

Why not have the entire #F1 schedule be a bunch of stupid Tilkedromes while the European races diminish until there are 3 slots left for all of them to rotate over? The fans will surely love that the sport is getting richer and richer.
Yep, that is what will happen, obviously.

I am deeply thankful that Liberty brought F1 into the 21st Century, but their "money is all that matters" attitude towards where to race might be worse than CVC's.

@rodrigodias Tendo crescido em uma cidade cheia de "celebridades", não me passa pela cabeça ir lá tirar foto.
Até porque é uma pessoa como outra qualquer, ué. Só porque o trabalho dela é mais visível que o comum, não quer dizer nada.

Único maluco que fui lá falar na vida foi o Oscar Schmidt e mesmo assim só para dizer que estava torcendo pela recuperação dele.
