This will be a general purpose thread for F1 news and pings that really don't require a thread of their own.
Alonso said Max Verstappen’s world title was more valuable than Lewis Hamilton’s
“I have a lot of respect for Lewis, but it is different when you win seven world titles and you only had to fight with your team-mate” said Alonso in an interview with Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf.

Seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes said F1 and ownership group Liberty Media should have stepped in to help rescue the final races of the season of the financially strapped all-women W Series.
The W Series raced its third season, but dropped its final events in Austin and next week in Mexico City after a major investor fell through.
“There’s not really a pathway for those young, amazing drivers to even get to Formula 1, and then you have some people who say we’re never going to see a female F1 driver ever,” Hamilton said. “So that’s not a good narrative to be putting out …. with Formula 1 and Liberty doing so well it’s not a lot for them to be able to help out in that space.”
why dint you put up some cash then???
welfare queens, just like the WNBA...
Nobody's stopping Hamilton from putting his considerable wealth behind women's races, but don't tell F1 team owners to pour their money into a financially ruinous women’s race series.
Lewis bought into the Denver Broncos instead...... you know he want’s a ROI 🤣
Women are banned from karting? Women are banned from Formula Ford? Women are banned from Formula 3? Women are banned from Formula 2?
It seems to me that women do have a pathway to Formula 1 racing, if they demonstrate the requisite skills.
Since thus far there have not been any women in Formula 1, ...
Oops, there have in fact been five women in Formula 1, two of which have qualified for races, one of which scored half of a point in a shortened race.

If they can drive there is nothing keeping women out of F1.
What a miserable POS.
Bought into a NFL team, not women's racing.
