I can't make fun of her for this after I, during a game of JackBox the other night, invented a musical instrument called a Vaginolin.

Well now I want to know who close to you has done you dirty? šš¤

You're not wrong there!

As I said on another post, any idea at this point is a good idea. They need to at least be open minded to hearing ideas like this. The optimal solution is probably going to be a compromise between different concepts. If we can pave the historic bricks at Indy, we can change Monaco.

I've never seen Formula E in Monaco. I'll have to check that out. There's a lot that could be done to the cars to improve the racing at every track. Any idea is a good idea at this point.

Nicely done.

I stopped watching NASCAR years ago and refuse to work at NASCAR events since last season. I'd be very happy to get through an IndyCar season without a NASCAR driver trying to pull a publicity stunt.

Not sure about the ramp š, but please make that area a straightaway with DRS! I'm not saying definitely no to the ramp, though.

I like the idea, but they won't cut out the casino section. There's also no way to temporarily cut off the marina without a bridge that could allow ships through. That's a very expensive capital project to redesign a track that makes plenty of money already. There's a way to do it somehow, though.

They're already right up against the buildings, so I don't think that's an option. There are a few places that could be turned into longer straights, though, and possibly long enough for DRS zones. I'd love to see that pool go away, but it's a city, not a track, and they have other things going on.

The Indy 500 is a spectacle, but it's also a fantastic race every year. Lots of passing, no one ever knows who's going to win, and plenty of drama all the way until the end. That's what racing is supposed to be. I know, I've been a part of 6 of them.

Nothing says "respecting our indigenous culture" like referring to them as "Indians".

The reality in racing is that marketability will progress you faster than talent. Drivers and sponsors will tell you that. The idea that it's all merit based and that the best always move up just isn't true. Better drivers get passed up all the time for ones with better business connections.

Part of the confusion is that F1A can call audibles whenever they want in regards to progression. I believe only Pin is competing in FR in 2025. There's a lot of fine print on those guarantees. The W series and F1A have been less than stellar at progressing the numbers they promised.

I don't know about that. What I had heard was that she was going to F4, but I'd be happy to hear otherwise. Thanks for the heads up.

Also, how many wins does a women need to have in a series to be considered good enough? Two, three, four? Why is a women with 1 win not as good as a man with none? We're back to the original point. Why do mediocre men have long careers but women have to win repeatedly to be taken seriously?
comment in response to
post
It doesn't end well for a lot of men either. They get to keep racing though, don't they?
If women can out qualify Alonso in Indy (twice) with half the budget & experience, & Alonso is good enough to go back to F1 & podium (9X), maybe women can handle it. Just promote Academy winners to F3 & see.

There have been several women since Danica actually, and she won in that series by the way. Those ex-F1 drivers didn't leave because they weren't good enough. I work with some of them. Let's drop a women in Stroll or Lawson's car. Let's progress a women like so many men were and see what happens.
comment in response to
post
I can't count Stroll? Seriously? And Antonelli is a good driver, but did he have to win F4 twice, and then progress from F3 to F2 to F1? No. If he was a women, he'd still be in F4 or F3. Academy wins are devalued and by the time they prove themselves against men, they've been leapfrogged.
comment in response to

And as far as paying attention, the developmental team I ran for several years focused on promoting women in the sport. I'm aware of the challenges and where the opportunities are and aren't. The sport is full of mediocre men getting promoted over women who out-performed them.
comment in response to

What data? Show me Lance Strolls F2 stats. Show me Max Verstappen's. Where's any data that says women can't compete? I haven't seen that data. Don't give me that bogus "other series aren't F1" crap. The IndyCar midfield is full of ex-F1 drivers. The cars are faster, not the drivers.
comment in response to
post
Look at the current drivers in F1 that skipped either F2 or F3 entirely. Did Stroll earn his F1 seat? Did Antonelli have to race every lower series? Men get "dropped in" all the time. Women have to win F1 Academy just to get to F4. They have a much steeper climb, & the odds are vastly against them.

I expect women to be given an equal chance to progress and not be forced to progress through levels of the system that men don't have to go through. I expect teams to develop women as they would men and not exploit them with diversity theater while segregating them.
comment in response to
post
To put it another way, in just the 24 Hours of Le Mans alone, there have been 21 women since 1992, and 66 overall. 9 women have raced in the Indy 500. The same number raced in just the 2024 Rolex 24 alone. Women have won 23 titles in the NHRA's premier series. Even NASCAR has more women than F1.
comment in response to
post
Talented women consistently leave the F1 system for other racing disciplines because the opportunities never materialize. An F4 car doesn't know the gender of the driver, and yet we value a women winning in one less than a man. Women have to work harder and achieve more to get the same chance.
comment in response to
post
I stand corrected, that is accurate, however, there have been none in the last 30 years and while every other major series has increased access to women and minorities, F1 has consistently regressed. There should be more women in the sport than there were in the 1950s, not less.
comment in response to

Plenty of women have been test or development drivers but never given a real chance at a seat or to even be developed. It's just for looks. F1 has had one POC driver and 0 women in it's entire history. It's more who your dad is than how fast you are. F1 Academy is segregation.
