This is the barrier to entry I'm more interested in. The mundane barrier that isn't glamorous but will make your life really uncomfortable.

I wonder if this is a result of a lack of time, staff and familiarity or low/different standards from the Bahrain team.

The Bahrain team did bring over a lot of people, including marshals, but I think this was to still brand it as the Bahrain gp. No idea about staffing numbers.

Wow. Just fucking wow. Yea, let's use more AI in Formula 1. Just ugly chaos. #F1 #BahrainGP #MalaysianGP

So the cars aren't waterproof now? #f1

I love the chaos a wet race can bring, but the last deaths in racing also came from wet races.

He's already feeling the squelch of a wet race suit.

I agree. I think there's been rumblings of it returning to Sepang for a while and this looks to be proving the case.

It was such a demonstration of the problem with how political issues are discussed. He wanted a discussion --and was more than capable of one-- but they wanted to play a silly game.

How am I supposed to check out Lawrence Barretto's shoes if he's behind a bloody desk!?!! Lol, jk, but he does often wear shoes worth looking at.

The pension triple lock is an inflation engine, but it's only needed because the UK pension is dogshit. Congratulations on retiring into hard earned poverty!

So much has changed about RBR lately, but not that.

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Yea, but, Alex usually says more sensible things lol

We're at the part of the race where the commentary descends into waxing lyrical about Max Verstappen. #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

Just had a thought that it could have been a case of using a different word for clarity over the radio, but the radios these days are absolute bliss compared to way back.

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
I don't have access to those :( And now Alonso has retired! Sad face for Bottas...

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
I know! They may be at the back but it looks like they're having fun.

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
It's really sweet of Bottas to keep Alonso company all the way at the back there. #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

Does this make Kimi Antonelli the Nemesis?

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
This is basically what I think every race now that I live in Scotland, lol. (I'm from New Zealand)

Jolyon Palmer: Maybe Max should've towed around Hadjar.. #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

F1 has upgraded its abilities from making up its own rules all over the place, to shamelessly altering our common experience of reality to suit itself.

Interesting thing with Mosely... he had a terminal illness so completed suicide, fair enough. He left a note that was meant to explain something important, but it was left illegible due to the blood. Very mystery novel stuff.

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
F1 seems to be trying really hard to be something else the last few years.

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
At least new RBR have started admitting they don't even want Max's teammate to beat him, and I dislike them less because of it.

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Yea, something something birds of a feather...

There's loads of spec series that have an abundance of overtakes; F1 doesn't because it demands aggressive aerodynamics. It's a trade off of the speed.
010
A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
I got into F1 when it was almost in time trial mode; very few on track overtakes. It was all finding if so and so could make the time up for the pit stops to work. It was difficult to follow and very difficult to overtake, yet it was still fascinating to watch.

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
Of course not, because they wouldn't be racist if they did. And it's just such an easy way of spreading hate.

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
Malaysia almost reverse invaded them, come to think of it. Ah, Monaco as well. The one country that F1 needs more than it needs F1.

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
Yea, is it even foreign if it's spoken fairly widely in the UK? See also: welsh, gaelic and scots.

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
hmm... invading another country seems to be almost a pre-requisite for hosting an F1 race...

Extrapolating from the calm 2016 Baku GP to the chaos of the 2017 Baku GP, the 2027 Madring #SpanishGP will be a safety car red flag montage. And Kimi Raikkonen will somehow still get a drive through penalty. #F1

Lmao, Liam Lawson is once again leading the kiwi Drivers' Championship!

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
I know... he's just not mentally strong enough to be going this fast and achieving things.

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
lmao, but good job I guess? ;)

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Lawson's having a good quali. Was he given some bad news before he needs to excise? #F1 #SpanishGP

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
The Max bias is ridonculously ridiculous.

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Beautiful question to a fan at the #SpanishGP: TV host: "Is it your first time here?" Fan: "It's everyone's first time here..." #F1

that's even less lyrics than the already dead boring Max Verstappen song.

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
But whatever this song is now? Yes, lots of that. Much meaning, such emote.

That's a lot of booing for George Russell on the podium #F1 #ItalianGP

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
So... will the Ferrari mechanics find themselves singing along to the Italian anthem this time? #F1 #ItalianGP

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Really is a race where the commentators are working for their pay, eh #F1 #ItalianGP

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Yea, but I'm having a confuse; both Alpine's in the top 4..? #F1 #ItalianGP

Is Lando now in the championship hunt? This is the guy who refused to admit defeat even in 2023, the year of Maximum Verstappen, until it was mathematically impossible for him to win. So, yes. #DutchGP #F1 #LandoNorris

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
Yea, it bugs me so much reading all this stuff about it being his fault.

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
Wow, this is a race on lay-by. One lap at a time... #DutchGP #F1

A Curious Maggie @formulacurious.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
Sad face for Lawson. But it looks like enough people have left RBR since Liam was last there to have a decent go this time. #F1 #dutchgp

hmm Alan Wake 2... Can I choose Watery? Apart from the eternal gloom it doesn't seem that bad and I could learn Finnish. As long as I don't leave the main street the Taken can't attack me!
