In their own rhythm: neurodivergent women in the paddock

😂 Maybe Jaguar should always put their two drivers in hotel rooms with connecting doors. 😂 Was that the secret ingredient for the back to back wins in Berlin, maybe? 😂 #FormulaE #BerlinePrix

🏆 We have a new Formula E World Champion 🏆 In a thrilling Berlin race, Nissan driver Oliver Rowland was crowned the world champion of season 11. His former mentee, Taylor Barnard, told me: "Huge congratulations to him. And after the season he's had, he definitely deserves it." #Motorsport

For context: during season 10 the plan was to have NXT Gen Cup as the support series during the Misano, Monaco, Berlin and London. But due to "unexpected constraints" that had to be called off very last minute. #FormulaE

🤔 NXT Gen Cup at Formula E next season? 🤔 I spoke to NXT Gen's Fredrik Lestrup today, and he told me they are working on it. They already had all their equipment in Misano last year before it had to be called off. Fingers crossed it works out next time. 🤞🏻

Just got to speak with Calvin: He revealed that he was invited by Porsche boss Modlinger. They had a talk about possible future opportunities. Could we possibly see Calvin de Groot in Formula E in the future? Possible future rookie test driver? 🤔

🤧 Pascal Wehrlein has a cold 🤧 During a group interview at Porsche, the reigning world champion was talking really quietly. All the travelling and (according to a Porsche team member) a sick Soleya (his daughter) have resulted in him feeling under the weather. #FormulaE

😱 Zane Maloney is limping 😱 Following the photoshooting for the new livery, jumping off the car, Maloney rolled his ankle. Walking to the media pen, the Boy from Barbados was still limping. I asked him if it was still THAT bad to which he responded: yes. But it is supposedly okay. #FormulaE

👀 NXT Gen Cup Champ Calvin de Groot spotted at Formula E 👀 As part of the FIA Girls on Track program, NXT Gen Cup is hosting a workshop, a session focused on career paths and opportunities in motorsport. That is probably the reason he is here. #FormulaE

🥵 PSA for anyone not yet in Berlin 🥵 The tunnels for the tube are like a sauna! It is relatively cold outside but once you go down these, you HAVE to take off multiple layers or you're sweating like a crazy person. So better bring layers you can easily take off. 😅 #FormulaE

⌛️ Photo Countdown to Berlin ⌛️ The wet conditions on the second day in Monaco resulted in quite a lot of work for the marshals. Here we have one waving the yellow flag at turn 13/14 (opposite the ACM building) as one of the McLaren drives past. 2 days till the Berlin ePrix! #FormulaE

⌛️ Photo Countdown to Berlin ⌛️ To start off July, I have a photo of Formula E CEO, Jeff Dodds. Funny anecdote: Right after he had walked past, he laughed and told someone that he did not have a good side. 😂 I think you look pretty photogenic in this one, Mr. Dodds! 11 days till the Berlin ePrix!

Not 100% sure, no, as Rowland's advantage is getting slimmer and slimmer. However, it is still a significant one. The other drivers really would have to step up their game and hope for some bad luck for Rowland. So never say never. It's not over until it's over, they say, right?
