π Takeaways from FP2 π Was listening to Barnard's and GΓΌnther's radio. Learned that: 1. Barnard touched the wall, something that was not shown on stream. He could continue though, and stearing was fine. Contact area was mainly the sidepod. 2. GΓΌnther HATED his car setup.

β Should there be a "pinnacle in motorsport" β What do you think? I say no. Motorsport is too diverse to be boiled down to one βpinnacleβ series. If anything, this mindset only leads to discrimination and hate, something you see far too often already. Or do you disagree?

Feels appropriate to be quoting myself here: "While these tests may not guarantee an immediate race seat [...], Formula E is actively creating pathways that could ultimately lead to seeing a woman on the grid in the near future again." The quote is from this article I wrote in October 2024 ππΌ
