Key figures in Formula 1's governing body the FIA were barred from a meeting of the organisation's world motorsport council on Wednesday in a dispute with president Mohammed Ben Sulayem.
Robert Reid, the FIA's deputy president for sport, and David Richards, the UK's representative, were among those denied access after refusing to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
The document forbids members from discussing matters pertinent to the FIA outside official meetings.
Insiders say Ben Sulayem demanded the new NDA, a stricter form of a document by which members were already bound, because of his concerns about leaks to the media.

I feel sick. I'm so scared. Things are going to get so much worse for trans adults in the UK when the Levy review for adult trans care comes out in November. My GP clinic already tried to not prescribe my T when the gender clinic endocrinologist first recommended it, I had to fight them so hard on it, and I'm terrified at any point they will stop.
Please share this. It is so disheartening that when I make posts about US trans issues they have thousands of notes within a couple hours, but UK trans issues barely get 100 notes. Our struggles are linked. The letter, in fact, uses the American spelling of certain words like 'realize' - Which has made some suspicious that this is a form letter provided by the American anti trans hate groups that have been pushing for more transphobic discrimination in the UK lately.
This WILL affect trans people in the US eventually. They will use the UK as an example to follow, when they are (at least partially) the ones who created the conditions for our growing medical discrimination. Our fight is your fight. Please, please care about it. Help people be aware of this at the very least.
#*flops in British*
the most embarrassing thing that ferrari could do is move to the uk and STILL flop. they're flopping right now but at least they're still in beautiful maranello where they have so much pride and history and nice weather. imagine flopping and also you live in england. idk how the other teams do it
13 October 2024.
Palestinians bid farewell to children who were killed in an Israeli air strike in the Shate refugee camp, west of Gaza.
The children were playing next to their homes in the beach camp, until an Israeli missile struck them.
Israel slaughtered 5 Palestinian children in cold blood, with no repercussions whatsoever.

100% agree- they’ll risk anything for “entertainment” . Fuck the FIA
This weekend reeks of classic FIA corruption and genuine lack of care for safety.
Why did it take them so long to bring out the virtual safety car yesterday in the sprint? Why was Hulkenburg out of the car and walking by the side of the track when there was no vsc/sc?
Why did they red flag all the crashes immediately but Lance’s? Why did they wait and ‘see if he could get moving again’ when his rear wing was off?
Interesting that it correlates to benefitting one team - VSC as soon as positions had been swapped, red flag as soon as one had gone P1.
Obviously nothing can be proved and it’s just more incidents to add to a long line of corrupt and questionable FIA decisions.
Ultimately, something needs to change. Is that a consistent panel of stewards instead of changing them? Is that having stewards with no affiliations to teams or drivers? Is that a complete review of the rule set and regulations? Is that a revamp of the FIA personnel? Who’s to say but the past few seasons, the FIA has made decisions that curate results and actions and that’s not why I like F1, I like F1 for the racing, the suspense, the excitement and the action. Not for the manipulation and inconsistency.

ScuderiaFerrari “I cracked the suit.” 😂
This may seem like a post-election night emotional post, but I promise it’s not:
I live in California. If you need an abortion (or, if things go the way they might, transition care or to get gay married), you can come stay with me and I will help you get it done. I’m an attorney, I’m decent at reading laws & I have a professional income — I will help you financially and logistically as much as I can. I am 100% serious about this - please remember this post if you’re in crisis. I love you ❤️
#bittersweet #happy for the rookies but saying goodbye is hard
